These developments were apparently caused by Solidarity's decision on Dec. 12, 1981 to call for a nationwide referendum to decide whether to retain or reject the communist system of government. ..-I if gm . ix Nu ,- 5 .

N Kwlso S lf, 5, N X 1981 Copy by Theresa Hanuk Photography by Jim Thomas Design by Marv Lou Uftermohlen 1981, designated by the United Nations as the Interna- tional Year of Disabled Persons CIYDPJ, serves as a mile- stone in the lives of the 450 million disabled persons throughout the world today. For the first time in history, the contributions and needs of disabled citizens are receiving world-wide recognition. And it's about time! Long regarded as second-class citizens, disabled persons have been denied the chance to have a decent education, a job and the other joys of life that many take for granted. In education, students with disabilities in seeing, hearing and mobility were often sent to special schools which dealt solely with students of the same disability. Students who were labeled mentally retarded were sent to other state institutions which were often less effective than the special schools. Some students, however, lived at home and at- tended city schools where classes were created to deal with their particular needs. Students with minor problems such as speech difficulties or learning disabilities attended spe- cial education classes in public schools. However, these stu- dents were not guaranteed a key to the future any more than those who attended the other kinds of schools. With the idea of mainstreaming, children who were sent 6 to special schools, institutions, or special education classes in public schools were allowed to attend schools in their town or district. This fostered a lot of positive and negative actions and feelings. Teachers had to learn skills necessary to teach speech classes for the hearing impaired and those children with other speech difficulties, braille and mobility for the blind, and basic remedial classes for those with learn- ing disabilities. When the disabled student enters college, more than likely his instructors aren't going to have the special train- ing his elementary and high school teachers did. He must be ready to explain to college professors he is capable of han- dling classes and all the responsibility and work involved. Then he has to prove he can do it! The student has to draw on the resources of tutoring services to help him with his courses. After graduation, the disabled person is, more than likely, going to be expected to have more resources and references when applying for a job, especially in this day of high un- employment. In the past, persons with disabilities were de- nied jobs because employers assumed they wouldn't be able to do the work or that the job was too risky for them. In recent years this has changed. There are now disabled workers in industrial types of employment, as well as in desk jobs and teaching positions. In the past, the only type of -'rizwupf 1 251' 'P , a vm Wil Qi A H f' ad- xl- ,,,,, '12-3. f.-,.z'g.' ' vi .-,,.,,, ta N 'Ano ' ' li' 'Q Ji 'i':.- industrial job a person with a disability was likely to get was working in a sheltered workshop or operating a vending stand. Now there are blind piano tuners, deaf nurses and kitchen workers, as well as switchboard operators with speech difficulties. The IYDP has done a lot to make these facts known to the public. For quite a long time, recreation was considered some- thing that a disabled person just couldn't do. Those people were left to sit back in the yard or out on the sidelines. In this century a lot has been done to change this. National, state and regional Special Olympics teams have been or- ganized to give the disabled person an opportunity to get involved in sports. The U.S. Association for Blind Athletes was founded in 1976. Today, competitors of all ages come together to com- pete in swimming, wrestling, downhill skiing, gymnastics, and track and field. Medals are awarded in the same man- ner as in any other national preliminary to the Olympics. Those who make the Olympics go to the International Olympics for the Blind, which was held in Canada in 1976 and in Holland in 1980. The President's Council on Physical Fitness in also aimed toward the disabled student or adult. There were several national events in 1981, such as the Wheelchair Olympics held in Richmond, Va. President and Mrs. Reagan were contributors to this event. Local sources of support are jaycee groups who sponsor events for disabled children and community centers which are adapting their facilities so disabled persons can make use of them. Many other types of activities are underway. Disabled people want to be recognized for the things they can do. All they really want is a chance. The International Year of Disabled Persons has brought this to the attention of the general public. Public awareness, however, isn't the only good thing to come of the IYDP. Training and awareness activities to promote attitudinal changes were also provided. These included the training of managers and supervisors on disability topics, teaching disabled employees their rights and educational opportunities, distributing public informa- tion on disability, and many others. Affirmative action pro- grams were also developed for the recruitment, placement and promotion of disabled persons in the federal agency work force, for the improvement of facilities and programs to provide physical and information access, for the identifica- tion and elimination of barriers to the selection and training of disabled employees, etc. This and much more was accomplished in 1981 to promote Full Participation and Equality ilYDP,s theme? for the world's disabled citizens. But this isn't a one-year thing, it's a life-time necessity. 7 ,av sn: -spywif sg - if. .:1'.' . 1 . Q A 'un , FW'-i -5' M ai 1 - 5 A .

John Denver first sang this line in the song Country Roads over a de- cade ago. The song's lyrics aptly de- scribed the beauty and magnificence of the blue ridge mountain state. When Denver first recorded the song, it be- came an immediate hit and has re- mained a favorite throughout the years, perhaps because it conjures up fond memories for all those who have ever visited the state. Country Roads seems to have captured the essence of what West Virginia is really like. A1- most heaven, indeed! Itls doubtful, however, that John Denver knew how apropos his lyrics would be and how close to heart some people would take the phrase, Almost heaven: West Vir- ginia. . . For now in these hills there is a group of people which has come with one thing in mind--to create a literal Heaven on Earth. And by appear- ances, it seems they have succeeded. In 1968, these followers of Krsna con- sciousness started a farming commu- nity in Moundsville, W.Va. and named it New Vrindaban. The community's spiritual leader, the late Srila Prabhupada spoke of its concept, . . .New Vrindaban is a transcenden- tal village without the botherations of the modern industrial atmosphere.

New Yrindabanis ultimate goal is selfsufficiencjr. though todajfs econorn- ics make it more practical for the resi- dents to buv what thev need rather than produce independently. Still. thev maintain a herd of 200 cows for milk only since thev are all vegetarians and grow enough vegetables to be able to sell their surplus at the local market. While the hulk of the communitvs monetary funding comes from outside sources. the inhabitants are in a posi- tion to be self sufficient ifthe economv should falter. A big plus to the communitvs mat- erial and spiritual well-being has been the construction of Srila Prabhupada? palace. lt has become the showcase for the Krsna conscious movement and a major tourist attraction. The palace was built for Srila Prabhupada. the man who was directly responsible for bringing h,7'N'7lfl consciousness to the Western World. vet who lived the humblest of lives. One of Prabhupada! devotees and a chosen disciple. Swami Bhaktipada conceived of the idea for building the palace. He explained. L'n- fortunateljf. during Prabhupada! life he never has become very prominent through the Hare Krsna movement. Of course. he planned it that wav. he was such a humble devotee. But as his dis- ciples. we should understand that for the benefit of all humanitv. Prabhupada should be as prominent as Jesus Christ. Bhaktipada believed that the palace would add a force to Prabhupadas spoken word and cause all who gazed upon its beautv to re- member Prabhupada better. The palace is an opulent structure built with gold. silver. marble. onyx. stained glass and teakxvood. The furni- ture. pillars and arches are all intri- catelv carved. There are ornate chan- deliers. and manv ofthe walls and ceii- inas are hand-painted depictions ol Krsoo in its manjv forms. The palace la a true rlLlClf-' of contrasts. It if as opu- lent and intricate in form. as the de- votees who built it are simple in their lifestvles. When asked whv these devoted Krszio followers CTIUNGJ to build sL1c'l i a magnificent building iiisteatl of using the monej: in a more charitable such a.s feeding the poor or building a hospital. Swami Bhaktipada clarified. While the palace cost Ur Siliwifili and took us six vears to build. it only cost each devotee in this communitjv Sl a week to build this palace. There are bfi manv people who spend S111 a week klllrl for cigarettes. Why don't they quit smoking and feed the poor? No one would criticize us if we spent the monej: on beer and cigarettes. But ifwe take S111 a week and spend it to create a beautiful temple for a pure devotee of the Lord-and then invite everyone to come and .see for free -then they fUl!if'- times criticize. This is called envj.'.'i Regardless ofanj: criticism that maj. arise. the palace stands matiesticalljr. as a monument to what great love and in- spiration can do. lt is a spectacle like no other. certainly none of its like can be found elsewhere in America.

Beginning in the early 1700s the un- manned land between the Shenandoah and the Cohongoroota fthe bend in the Potomac River at Shepherdstownl was acquired as acreage by powerful men such as VanMetre, Shepherd, Morgan and Swearingen. By 1760 the area population was nearing 300 and on Dec. 23, 1762 the town of McKlenburg was established by an act of the Vir- ginia Assembly. It was a time of lot sales in the in- fant town. For 40 shillings, and there- after a yearly ground rent of 5 shil- lings, one could purchase a town lot with the promise to construct within two years a dwelling at least 20, x 16' with a stone or brick chimney. After overcoming severe rat infestation the previous year, in 1776 the town opened an academy of classical learning, the Presbyterian, Lutheran and Reformed churches had taken root and the youth- ful town was abandoning its wobbly first steps and venturing healthy strides toward expansion. One of the town's oldest newspapers, The Register began weekly circulation on Dec. 4, 1849 at a cost of S2 a year. The following are selected excerpts gleaned from The Register and offered s always, man began to as glimpses of Shepherdstown's past -- the people and the happenings which carried the town steadily into the pres- ent.

Let it come, we are ready and willing to receive it. Oct. 1, 1895 - A distinguished fish- ing party composed of President Cleve- land, Secretary of Agriculture Morton, Commissioner of Internal Revenue Joseph Miller and Mr. Alvey, a B8zO Railroad official passed, in carriages, through town about 8 o'clock this morning on their way to the river for a day's sport. The Register on behalf of the good people of Shepherdstown ex- tends a hearty welcome to the greatest and best man who has occupied the presidential chair since Washington vacated it . . . hoping that they may not only carry home with them plenty of fine bass but also pleasant memories of their visit to our quiet town. arch 30, 1911 - fTwo Shepherdstown ladies recall Civil War incidents? There had been a tremendous down- pour of rain, and the Confed- who were in camp south of town, thought that there would be no trouble from the enemy, who were on the Maryland side of the river. A number of I them came to town to see erates, friends and the home folks. and were enjoying themselves first rate when simultaneously the sun came out and the village filled with Yankees who had quietly crossed the river. The Union soldiers were in force, and soon there was a lively running fight along the Kearneysville pike. There were a number of casualties . . . March 18, 1936 - tShepherdstown experiences the Potomac's greatest flood as the river swelled 40 feet above its normal levell One of the heaviest losses Shepherdstown has had in many years came on Wednesday when the bridge of the Virginia and Maryland Bridge Company across the Potomac River at Shepherdstown was entirely carried away by the record-breaking flood that swept down out of the head- waters ofthe river .... A great many folks were marooned on the wrong side ofthe river .... Furniture and house furnishings and all sorts ofthings rode the crest of the flood .... whole sides and floors and roofs of small buildings were numerous, and a number of intact sanitary privies, erected by WPA, went down on the flood. n 1974, Shepherdstown was named the Community of the Year by the Farmers Home Administration of West Virginia. And though the town may never again need to charter laws concerning the grazing of swine and cattle within the town limits or regulating the use of firearms lwhich, in the 1800s was per- mitted only during emergencies or paradesvl, it can be said with certainty that Shepherdstown will take stock in its solid beginnings as it continues to expand in the years that lie before X ,s,..J-- upon eing no onger eprive o modern facilities for communication I I I I I I I I T J I I I I I I I I f I1 I ' Y fl ffKI 1 ' .

The piano belted out hip tunes of the times, the hustle and bustle noise of crowd. Outside, onlookers through the windows with pride admiration. Gambling and drink- were at a high point and this place the center attraction for both. This was the Entler Hotel in its hey- between 1786 and 1861. Located the corner of Princess and German in Shepherdstown, W.Va. la place for traders going from to as far south as Tennessee the Chesa eake Bayl- the Entler was P attraction to people passing town. It had everything to at- people to it. The architecture rep- resented that of the federal period: two storied brick construction, Flemish bond, hand-hewn ornamental wooden keystones atop windows and door- ways, small window panes and a well-lit, fan-lighted front door. It housed a lobby and di- ning room with a large door with sidelights, transoms and an over-head cover supported by pilasters. This architectural style was' inviting and at- tracted customers from all over. Other attractions in- i cluded the hotel's 32 large I plush rooms and a saloon that entertained guests and towns people nightly. It also had the privilege of boasting the best beef in tovxm. What happened to the Entler Hotel after 1861 is somewhat of a mystery. It remained a hotel until 1921, but it was never quite the same after 1861. Part of the problem was that it went through some changes in oum- ership from 1865 thru 1908. In 1865, before Daniel Entler's death, his son, I.P.A. Entler, became the proprieter. It remained like this until 1889 when the hotel was leased to W.N. Trussell. In 1906, L.W. Thompson and T.A. Carter, in partnership, applied for and were granted a saloon license under their management. In 1908, En- tler and Rust, in partnership, were is- sued a hotel license for the Entler Hotel. Finally in 1912, the property was sold to E.H. Reinhart and M.B. Baker. Also in 1912, tire destroyed the first building of the hotel. Alter the tire, the hotel really went downhill but still had some hey-days such as large din- ner parties. In 1921, the Entler was sold to Shepherd College and made into the school's first male dormitory facility. Shepherd paid a sum of S10,500 for the building. As a dormitory, its name changed from the Entler Hotel to Rum- sey Hall. It remained a dormitory until 1953 when it was turned into an apartment complex for the faculty and staff of the college. In 1968, it was turned into a storage warehouse, which it remained until 1971. In 1971, Shepherd College wanted to raze the building and turn it into a parking lot, but the town met and petitioned against this happening. In 1973, the building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The struggle between the town and the school over the Entler continued until 1978 when the West Virginia State Legislature passed an ordinance which said that the college would sell the property to the town for S1 as long as it was used on a non-profit basis. After this, the town prepared for the restora- tion of the hotel and in 1979, it was begun. The restoration was started by the Historic Shepherdstown Commission Inc. and its main goal is to have a com- plete and substantial restoration of the building by 1986 lthe 200th anniver- sary of the buildingj. The restoration includes two parts: 1. A renewal of the brick exterior and the early nineteenth century woodwork to their original state to serve as a valuable architectural statement. 2. A restoration of the Entler to its former position as the center of the town's social life. Careful attention is being given to historical accuracy of the restoration where it is feasable. The restoration project is being done under the guide- lines of the United States Department of the Interior for Rehabilitating His- toric Buildings. So far, two rooms have been restored for commlmity use. One is primarily for Senior Citizens fthe old dining rooml and the other is for gen- eral meetings and exhibitions fthe old saloonl. Still to be restored are the porches that run along the back of the building, 13 ggi i I 1 ' vm--.....m.. n - . V Xf'-s Y.. rooms that have been set aside for use as a town museum, a formal reception room and smaller rooms for office use. The present needs of the restoration of the incomplete areas on the hotel are: 1. Complete repairing of the porches. They are being redone to match the ar- chitecture of the federal period and preserve the architectural integrity of the hotel. The porches overlook the back of the building which is soon to be turned into a large garden. 2. Redoing of the room in the museum section which is going to be made up into a replica of a typical 18th century hotel room. 3. Turning a closet in the museum section into a powder room. 4. Creating a good security system. It will be especially needed in the musetun section. Before these things can be done, other work has to be done for safety precautions. At the present time, work is being done on stabilizing the roof, exterior walls and windows to stop further deterioration. When major construction of the building takes place, a contractor will be hired to do the work under the supervision of an architect. . 'W' .L A historical architectlcontractor has been hired for the project. He will be able to look through the building and tell how each room should be restored, what type of woodwork to use, etc. The authenticity of the interior is still amazing and this can help in renova- tion. F eat1u'es still seen are the wood- work incompassing the mantel pieces with horizontal f'linenfold carving, chair boards, six panelled doors, a fourfold fan lighted door between the ladies' parlors and Dutch doors to closets. Although most of the work must be done professionally, it will be augmented, where practical, by volun- teers in the community. Voltmteers have removed modern temporary par- titions that changed the original floor plan. So far, town volunteers include: a retired electrician, retired carpenter, a. yotmg 'carpenter-cabinet maker and a profession interior designer with a strong background in colonial and federal architecture and fiunishings. Funding for the Hotel restoration has been good even though there is still room for more contributions. The money has come largely from the citi- zens through private and business con- tributions, the sale of local crafts, bene- tit theatrical performances and a buffet dinner.

State support has been given with flmds and moral support. The town has accepted the challenge with pleasure and the people have been enthusiastic. Volunteer work is coming from the community and contributions are adding up. Even though support is coming in from all over, more support, either thru finan- cial or labor, can only help the cause. With the help it has received, and is looking forward to getting, the Historic Shepherdstown Commission can fulfill its goal: To Save the Past . . .

Atop the banks of the Potomac River and nestled in historic Shepherdstown, the college attracts students from throughout the country by offering a number of related, yet distinct educational opportunities on campus, as well as through its extensive resources and offerings in the South Branch Valley counties. Shepherd College offers bachelor of arts and bachelor of science degrees in a wide range of fields, encompassing the liberal arts, business administration, teacher education and other career-oriented areas. The college also has a diverse selection of programs leading to associate degrees. Shepherd can provide credit courses for individuals with no degree aspirations, but who seek to broaden and update their knowledge in either familiar or new fields of intellectual endeavor. For the Shenandoah Valley as a whole, the college is a center for non-credit continuing education, public service, and extensive programs in art, music, theatre, athletics and other areas of public interest. In addition to the traditional August-May term, the college also offers a summer term as an integral part of the school year. The Shepherd College campus rests on approximately 164 acres of rolling hills extending .NP rf' . ff-vpn wc 0 vi . . J, l' . V p 'll I I - ' 5' ' v l-. :J im A .I l .4..,.....r -cv .1 115.

The campus consists of 10 educational buildings, a newly constructed and extensively equipped Creative Arts Center, seven residence halls, a multi- facility College Center and three athletic fields. Shepherd College aims to provide students with a general education which will enable them to succeed personally and professionally in today's complex society. The burden of accomplishment rests on the - student, but the faculty and staff seek to encourage students in their intellectual and personal development by aiding the student in understanding his society and developing a personal code of ethics and philosophy of life - the meaningful core of the college years. 17 The Administration Building igroundbreaking in 1967 J houses offices of the president, academic dean, registrar and admissions, business affairs, financial aid, college relations, housing, staff personnel, off-campus and continuing education, computer center, institutional research and the campus service center. McMurran Hall, on Main Street in Shepherdstown, is the original Shepherd College building, erected by the Father of Shepherd College, Rezin D. Shepherd, in 1860 for community use and was transferred by perpetual lease to the college in 1891. Having housed the Department of Music, McMurran is now used by the assistant to the president. The adjoining Reynolds Hall igroundbreaking in 18893, old home of the college theatre, now stands empty. Knutti Hall, built in 1904, is named in honor of former principal Cfrom 1903-19091 John G. Knutti. This pillared hall houses the Division of Languages and Literature and the Division of Education. White Hall, dedicated in 1975, named in honor of W.H.S. White, college president from 1920 to 1947, is cradled between Knutti Hall and the Town Run, and houses the divisions of business administration and social sciences. Stutzman-Slonaker Hall, dedicated in 1980, was named in honor of E. Stutzman, professor of physical science from 1928 to 1952, and Dr. G. Slonaker, professor of education and academic dean from 1954'to 1973. Atop the hill on High Street, Stutzman-Slonaker Hall houses the departments of biology, mathematics, home economics and the college nursery school. Snyder Science Hall, erected in 1942, is named in honor of the late H.L. Snyder, a prominent local citizen. The departments of chemistry and physics are located here. The Nursing Building, to the east of Snyder Hall, was renovated in 1980 to provide new facilities for the Department of Nursing and the college's media services. The Ruth Scarborough Library, located in the heart of 1 the east campus, is a three-storied, air-conditioned 5 structure which the library 1 occupied in 1965. Named after Dr. Ruth Scarborough, , professor emeritus from 1936 to f 1966, the facility houses a H collection of varied materials which number approximately Q 200,000. 1 The Creative Arts Center, 1 dedicated in 1981, graces the west campus knoll, and is the home of Shepherd College music 1 and theatrics and other creative ig arts. This modern facility consists of studios, classrooms, lg a recital hall and a new theatre ' at a cost of several million V dollars. Sara Cree Gymnasium, I I N , 1 l, dedicated in 1952 and named in W honor of Dr. Sara Cree, professor emeritus from 1940 to 1 1972, boasts a 25-meter pool, Q, large and small gyms, and i classrooms.

Butcher's prime goals when he came to Shepherd College in 1968 Was to have a Creative Arts Cen- ter built. In 1981, after much an- ticipation and planning, the dream came true. The SC Creative Arts Center Was dedicated on March 29, 1981 and opened for the 1981 Festival of the Arts held in April and this were spent getting the build- ing ready for the beginning of the '81 fall semester. Faculty and staff members unloaded desks and equipment and helped ready the rooms of the CAC for use. That September, the CAC opened for classes and many cultural events multi-purpose ing,design to house visual and per The bui May. The summer months following f OO 211-3 af-fpo fu Alfmz 5I+'f4'I'f rmrf Inn H1111 - 2 l l 1 forming arts, and music and drama, has become a great asset to Shepherd College. The theatre in the Creative Arts Center is modern and professional, with a seating capacity of approxi- mately 48O for concerts, programs and amateur play performances. The large, proscenium stage, as opposed to the small working space previously used at Reynolds Hall, became a definite plus for performers. Behind the stage is the modern con- venience of the loading dock, used to bring in such items as the Steinway Concert Grand Piano housed in the CAC theatre. Also located behind the stage is a carpentry workshop where scene designs are built for play perfor- mances. In addition to performances, the theatre is also used quite effec- tively for classes in drama, music and other performing arts. The Music Recital Hall is used for concerts and other musical events which are geared towards smaller au- diences. The hall has approximately 22 'K G-Q 150 seats arranged in teared seating order, that is, each row slightly higher than the one in front of it. Music rooms in the CAC are highly sophisticated. One of them, a large band room, is equipped with specialized acoustics to create different effects. The music rooms, as with all Creative Arts Center rooms, offer adequate classroom space. A much needed addition to Shepherd's facilities was the CAC photography lab. This professionally- equipped room has offered much for the photography majors working on the college newspaper or yearbook staff, and also those working simply to im- prove their skills. Other additions to the CAC include a commercial art lab, professionally- lighted art galleries and a complete art department, featuring rooms for metal workers and sculptors. With the modernized and increased facilities of the CAC, the 1981-82 events held there were all successful, ranging from a puppet show by the W.Va. Puppet Theatre to the whimsical James Thurber play The 13 Clocks. A photography exhibit by Bart Parker challenged photographers of all levels. Concerts by the Invitational Choral Clinic, the Shepherd College Jazz En- semble, the Millbrook Center Chamber Orchestra and many others helped 'iff'-.Q W . 1 . , x'lI X, 0 highlight the '82 spring months. Lec- tures, films and other exhibits were also presented in the building. The Creative Arts Center was one of the most sought after and needed struc- tures at Shepherd College for decades. It replaced the inadequate space of McMurran Hall for music students, the Knutti Hall basement for art students, and as previously mentioned, Reynolds Hall for theatre students. W.Va. Gov. Jay Rockefeller, who at- tended the 1981 Festival of the Arts celebration of the CAC's opening, voi- ced his pleasure at Shepherds new ad- dition. I am deeply thankful that the center is opening at a time when the arts are being challenged by the pres- sures ofthe economy and public pol- icy, he said. After 30 years of waiting and plan- ning, the Creative Arts Center was fi- nally built and opened for use. The 953 million building provides 40,000 square feet of usable space for perform- ing arts, music and drama. The Cre- ative Arts Center, with its extensively-equipped, spacious rooms, has added new dimensions to Shepherd students' learning and enjoyment of the arts. 23 Divisions of Study. . . at Shepherd College Business Administration Social Sciences Languages and Literature Creative Arts Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Safety Education Science and Mathematics Other Programs D b .Uelinda SI t Ph t g phb' by Doug U1 h C p piled by Sharon Cool 24 1 Ill' g I E!! ig D EEE!! 1 if i i Business Administration The primary objective of the Division of Business Administration is to prepare students for professional careers in business.

With powerhouse teams North Carolina lwinner of the recent NCAA basketball championshipi, Michigan and football mainstay University of Southern California, there is little room for question. But, if that same person was confronted with the topic of athletic supremacy in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics CNAIAH, he could look to Shepherd College and the W.Va. Conference for some of the top play on the small college level. Fairmont State, under the direction of Coach Joe Retton, established a winning reputation as not only a power in the WVC, but a basketball force in the nation, leading Fairmont to 12 conference crowns and 10 appearances in the NAIA basketball championships over the past 14 seasons. Concord College, known primarily for its sound and consistent play, has been at the top of the pack on the football field and has received national attention in the NAIA championships in 5 of the last 6 years. And now, by way of its disciplined football system, its resurging basketball program and its dominating swimming program, 32 SPI I Shepherd College has made its presence known among the leaders in small college athletics. Coach Walter Barr and his football squad were looking for 1981 to be the Year of the Ram for Shepherd football. With 10 starters returning on defense and quarterback Glenn Ryhanych back to lead the offensive attack, Ram followers had reasons to be optimistic. However, the team faced a nagging setback in the opening victory against Frostburg State as Ryhanych went down land out for the seasonj with a separated shoulder. Entering freshman quarterback Mike Coyle - young, inexperienced and put on the spot to lead the Rams to victory - did just that, 7 times, in fact, as Barr and his squad finished another impressive 7-2 campaign. Coyle, a native of Odenton, Md. and a graduate of Arundel High School, guided the Rams to 5 consecutive wins and performed more like a seasoned veteran than a first-year player. Shepherd cruised in defeating F rostburg, W.Va. Tech, West Liberty, Salem and W.Va. Wesleyan, earning them a 10th place ranking in the NAIA weekly poll. The ranking marked the third time in 4 seasons that Shepherd has received national recognition, due in part to the tenacious defense played by the Ram defensive unit nicknamed Gi.

The Rams traveled to Athens W.Va. to meet the Mountain Lions who were ranked 5th in the nation at the f time. A 42-0 shellacking followed by 36-23 defeat at Fairmont took the winc out of the Ram sails and ended any 1 hopes of a second season in the playoff Concord simply overwhelmed Barr's unit, capitalizing on Shepherd mistakes early in the contest, while holding Coyle and the offense in tact for the first time on the season It is hard to believe a team could bf disappointed with a 7-2 mark including an impressive 20-0 season-ending shutout of W.Va.

Shepherd sports followers turned hdoors after the conclusion of the sridiron season for a winter of iasketball from Coach Bob Starkey ind his hoop team. The Rams, led by enior point guard Keith Adams and ophomore sensations Antoine Makle lnd Mark Palmer, raced to 6 onsecutive wins to start the season iefore suffering their first loss at Davis ind Elkins. Makle and Palmer ombined for an average 50 points .etween them in the early season ictories, as the Rams had their ?ansition offense in full gear. After dropping their third game in artinsburg against Mount St. Mary's, epherd reeled off another 9 straight 'ctories and a second place position in e conference behind frontrunner and nference foe Salem College. During e streak, however, Palmer ttablished himself, once again, as a laminating force under the boards, Weraging nearly 23 points and 14 Ebounds a contest, While Makle was lrning the nets at a 24-point-a-game coring clip. l The winning streak came to an end in Salem as the Rams dropped a 103-83 iecision to the Tigers. However, atermined play allowed Shepherd to :ep winning, something the Rams did it have in the previous 9-18 impaign. But this was a different am. The same scoring punch was Lere with Makle and Palmer, but the Q i inspired play of Adams and the addition of forwards Jeff Cook and Craig Dixon made for a tight unit on the basketball court. This was evident as Shepherd made it a perfect 11-0 at home on the hardwoods of Sara Cree Gymnasium. On to the conference tournament in Charleston where Shepherd had faltered early in the past 2 years in the new Civic Center. The Rams drew West Liberty, a team Starkey had beaten twice during the regular season. But no one knows better than the head mentor that it is difficult to beat the same team 3 times in the same season, as Shepherd dropped a heartbreaking 75-73 decision on a last-second miss by Makle at the buzzer. The ball rolled around the rim and off, tiplifying the Ram season - so close, yet so far from victory. 5. wir! 1 K I f' , .HEPH2 U? Q? swf, Q .sign 23 u ' ' 33 ,Sm K. 0.

Gibsons selection is the first time a Ram coach has been so honored, and deservingly so, as he placed his women swimmers second in the NAIA championships in British Columbia, Canada. The women bettered their third place finish which they accomplished during the 1980-81 swimming season. The swim season was highlighted by many individual best times in the water, although the menls team failed to repeat as Tri-State champions. Duncan Morrell paced the men, qualifying as an All-American for the second year in a row swimming the butterfly, considered the most difficult of the swimming strokes. Karen Workman became the school's first 4-time All-American after 2 years at Catonsville Community College. 34 -.an-..v ' ff Q 1 lf F . 'YA ffl 4 - - i.

The Women's sports program at Shepherd has been slowly on the ris and although personified by the wornenls swim team, the tennis, volleyball, basketball and softball teams have been making progress towards contention every year in pas seasons. at af- if X .yi Under Coach Roger Parker, the women's tennis team suffered through an uncharacteristic 2-8 season, although, admittedly, Parker schedules tougher matches to get his ladies tournament tough for the end of the season. Martinsburg standout Laura Evy, headlined the Lady netters with a strong finish at the post-season ,, if tourney in Charleston, where Shepherd f finished a trying season. The volleyball netters were a little more successful, capturing a fifth place , finish in the 9-team tournament, also played in Charleston. The ladies completed a 16-14 season with a fine finish, winning 13 of the last 21 matches to close out the year. The season was highlighted by a 4-match winning streak in the middle of the season, including a big 3-game win over York 1Pa.l College. Further enhancing the growing volleyball ffl program was the selection of sophomore Barb Blose to the All-tournament and All-Conference teams, as voted by the opposing coaches in the WVC. The Lady Ram basketball squad fell on hard times, however, this season under Coach Ann Jones. A disappointing 4-17 record overshadowed the consistent play of center Jenny Hawbaker and guard - ' . 4 s Ann Giaquinto. Hawbaker averaged 10 5 points and 12 rebounds a contest to put 5 i -Q . 6 1441 her among the WVC leaders. while Giaquinto led the team with a 19-point 'coring clip on the season.

The softball, golf and men's tennis teams brought the spring sports season to a close with post-season tournaments in Charleston, and Berkeley Springs, W. Va., capturing a surprising eye from many an opponent in the conference tournaments. The Lady Rams took the diamond after surviving a 6-hour drive south through the mountains of West Virginia. Forced to make the trip in 1 day because of financial difficulties, the softball squad dropped a tough 6-5 opening-round decision to West Liberty. Sherry Spencer absorbed the loss for the Lady Rams, not realizing she would be pressed into action for 3 more games in the tournament. The native of Newport News, Va. proved her worth to the softball team by pitching in over half of the 1982 contests, including the strenuous, tiring 4-game stint in the -A 1 5, tournament. trapped indoors by snow and inclement weather until they reached the baseball diamonds on the southern swing, resulting in hard times on the field over spring break. After a winless trip, the Rams managed a split in each of their opening doubleheaders with the University of Charleston, W.Va. Tech and West Liberty State, but, then came the difficult stretch in the schedule. In a 2-week period, the Rams combined a team-wide hitting slump and erratic pitching from the hurling staff to drop doubleheaders with W.Va. Wesleyan, Davis and Elkins and W.Va. State. For all purposes, Shepherd's hopes of reaching playoff action were dashed. The 1982 squad was comprised of better-than-average talent at nearly every position on the roster, and pre-season speculations had the team pegged to finish near playoff contention. But, as every baseball man knows, victories come with scoring runs and limiting the opposition. Shepherd managed this feat only half of the time, and a potential contender wound up a .500 ball club. Outfielders Greg Chandler and Dave Diehl supplied most of the hitting punch in the lineup, Chandler batting over .300 for the better part of the season and Diehl accounting for the team leadership in runs batted in. Second baseman Scott Broyles and shortstop Tom Cook teamed for the hottest double play combination in the league, including a school record 4 double plays against Alderson-Broaddus. Pitcher Mike Johnsjoined Broyles and Cook in their final season in a Ram uniform, as the three will be lost to graduation. Still, Pease will return a fine nucleus for next year's assault on the WVC baseball crown. 36 After slipping past W.Va. Tech 10-6, the Lady Rams dropped a 6-0 contest to Wheeling College, before being eliminated by Salem 4-1. Coach Debby LeMaster and the team finished the season 10-9 and remain the only sport in the history of Shepherd College to finish every season above the .500 level. The Lady Rams have accomplished the feat for the sixth consecutive year. Down the road at Watt Powell Park, the men's tennis team was closing out its poorest season since Roger Parker has been coaching the team. The Rams finished the season winless Q0-97 in match play but got some fine performances in the tournament. Unseeded No. 2 player Mark Van Emburgh surprised the tournament followers by reaching the semi-final round. Van Emburgh stroked his way past W.Va. State in the opening round and was impressive in his quarterfinal victory over W.Va. Wesleyan, a match many expected would eliminate Van Emburgh. The surprise was not long-lived however, as Van Emburgh lost to eventual state champion West Liberty in two sets. He did, however, team with fellow senior Dennie Gandee to reach the semi-final round in No. 1 doubles action, beating Concord and arch-rival Wesleyan, before losing to nemesis West Liberty. Shepherd College hosted the W.Va. Conference golf tournament at Cacapon State Park in Berkeley Springs and the home course proved beneficial, as the Rams stroked their way to a fifth-place finish. Don Jennison led the way, firing a final-round 77 to finish eighth out of 40 golfers participating in the tournament. J ennison, a native of nearby Jefferson High School, had a first-round 80 and a second-round 83 for a three-day total of 240. .,. 7,24 . , J ., -. , el' 'J- fn X 4 ff' 3 N X yr +I AWS--A. 0'!'X 1 .Q , -.W sv 'I 'G .fs M' .:-56, 5' ff- '3SrL ws.. - ,?'4'4 ww?

This change came about in order to involve more students in the production of the annual and to give students the opportunity for practical application of techniques learned in class. Even though the yearbook is in magazine form this year and is shorter than previous issues, it is not shorter, however, on creativity. The Cohongoroota has come a long way since the first issue which was published in 1910 by the junior class. The first volume was bound in suede and contained 77 pages. Its name, Cohongoroota, was the name given to the Potomac River of the Indians that inhabited the area. The literal Indian meaning of the word can be translated as Wild Goose River. Included on the cover of the first three issues were the words All Quiet Along the Potomac. Later this phrase became less appropriate and was moved to the title page. Even later, the phrase was completely removed from the book. The students, faculty and faster pace of the campus were not indigenous of uquietf' The early yearbooks each had a section honoring and memorializing prominent people in the college or in the Shepherdstown community. There were also the usual group pictures of the faculty and students. The seniors were shown in individual snapshots with a little background information included beside their pictures. There were also sections devoted to sports, clubs and the school calendar. Several items in the early yearbooks not to be found in more recent publications were joke sections, class prophecies and the students' Who's Who section. As the years progressed, the yearbook progressed, dwindled and resumed publication. From 1920 to 1929, the senior class produced the yearbook. From 1930 to 1948, the yearbook was not published at all. From 1949 on, the yearbook has been a hardcover annual with the same basic format-pictures of students and faculty members, the sports section, the club section and the advertising section. The 1981-82 yearbook makes a break from tradition with a new approach. lt takes a new look at our college and its people, the history and people of Shepherdstown, and people and events in the region and beyond. It reflects the flavor of the times and attempts to present the student as he was in his true surroundings during the 1981-82 school year. Read the new Cohongoroota and enjoy.

And the invitation is, indeed, well responded to as evidenced by the strange sounds the gamery cove hosts emit at the hands of visiting players. Beep-beeps, swirls and swoshes, whirrs and whomps, and clangs and chomps intermingle with the den's sounds'of human dialogue and activity, and the parade of top-40 tunes playing in the background. Some of the cove's peculiar sounds speak, though no human is present. But there usually are humans around - jean, jacket, sneaker-clad humans who stand in front of the machines with a here-to-stay air about them. Leaning on the machines in a hunched-over position with legs criss-crossed in front ofthem, they play the games with such intensity that they're oblivious to everything and everyone around them. Onlooking friends are sometimes less-than-optimis tic about their own Chances of playing upon observing the players' comfortable, settled in postures. All visitors to the Ram's Den gamery cove, whether they be dorm students, commuters, faculty or staff members, have to wait their turns to play their favorite games. Sometimes this wait seems endless because certain games draw larger crowds than others. There are times when the pinball machines stand completely idle while electronic game hosts can hardly be seen for the clusters of players and spectators around them. l 48 U Whatever the combination of game iosts and players, Shepherds game :enter is always the scene of constant activity. But, as you know, this scene is not unique to our college campus alone. lt's one that is repeated all over America. I With the advent of Space Invaders Americans quickly became hooked on electronic gamery. Revenues from iome video games like ATARI, NTELLIVISION and the ever popular coin-operated games have propelled electronic gamery into a multi-million dollar industry. It is quickly becoming the new National Pastimef' I Its advantage over football and oaseball is that anyone can play. It appeals to men and women, children ind adults, and even a grandparent or two have been noticed battling the machines. And one needs not to be thletically inclined, nor even be the east bit coordinated to play. The machines don't care. lAll one needs to play is a quarter, nd with the drop of a coin the player an-instantly enter a new kind of wilight zone. Depending on the game, :'s possible to go back to King Arthur's me and slay a few dragons, or be a llorld War II ace and zero in on some nemy planes, or to vaunt yourself hrough time to the space age, where, itrue Star Wars fashion, any umber of outrageous enemies await our tactile moves. 2 While it is true that electronic Qamery is nothing new to Americans - lfter all, pinball machines have been round for decades - it's never had the npact of such broad appeal before. 'vidence of this wide range of appeal xists everywhere that games are laced. One can find them in drug tures, grocery stores, pizza parlors, as ,vell as in the lobbies of even the .rendiest restaurants, in bus stations, train stations and, of course, in almost ilny bar. Basically, they can be found Anywhere people amass and have a little free time and some spare change. ' The major differences between these 2,18 fa-awww ,I video games and the pinball games of yore are the complexities of the programs and the weird noises accompanying the new games. These special effects often heighten the intensity with which the games are played. A few machines even have timers which send out messages at intervals regardless if anyone is present or not. The originality and complexity of the games intrigue and attract a different breed of player. The ones who should know better are the ones who are found frequenting the games. Men in suits, well-dressed women, and yes, even a college student or two can be found playing them. Nothing is sacred to these evil machines, for all players are wasting their quarters. Here at Shepherd, the game that draws the biggest following is an unique game called PAC MAN, where you, as the great yellow mouth, must travel around the board eating up all the little dots you can, all the while escaping the Pac Men. You try to amass as many points via the little dots or bonus fruits, or by gobbling up the Pac Men when they are blue twhich is only for a short timel. The object is to clear the board without getting eaten. Once you've done this, another board lights up and you are off again, only this time at a faster speed, with an increased Crescendo of sound. Finally, at the end ofyour allotted three or four men the game has ended, you have lost, your body is sweaty, your eyes constricted and your pulse is fluttering. NOW, DOESN'T THIS SOUND LIKE FUN? Before answering, you must play it at least once to be fair. Actually, one quarter will not be enough to give you a taste ofthe game. Unless you really are adept, you will more than likely freeze at the control the first time a Pac Man appears. Customarily it will take around 35 worth of quarters before you begin to get a feel for the game. 49 Up, down, left, right you go, all the time getting smoother and quicker. But alas, so does the machine. and to make matters worse, the crazy sounds increase in volume. Chomp, chomp, chomp, deeowooh, ploink, cheep, cheep, cheep, chomp, chomp, chompf' One can't help but get worked into something close to a frenzy. Actually, a whole gamut of emotions can be associated with this game. First, there is anxiety while you wait your turn, quietly hoping the machine quickly disposes of its current player. When it's your turn, there is an adrenalin surge as you mentally prepare for battle. Then, depending on how you play, there are short spurts of accomplishment, or anger, and sometimes even rage. Finally, there comes relief. The game is over, and you give out a slight chuckle as you realize what a silly game it is. These are cheap thrills for sure. It is suspected that in future days there will be much controversy over what bad effects tif anyl playing these games might have. Already this phenomena has been the subject for the TV show, Sixty Minutesf' as well as a feature on a Baltimore newscast. Certainly games can be detrimental if one would spend all his free time playing. But surely it is not the game's fault: the responsibility lies with the player. For if there were no electronic games, certainly those of weak will would turn to some other form of mindless pleasure. Others who feel these games are pure, innocent fun have a strong case. After all, these machines can't fight backg neither are they programmed to hand out communist propaganda. What harm could possibly ensue from playing? So what if a few mindless humans are left in the wake? Destiny calls them, and it calls you, too. So, come on, drop a quarter in the slot. What harm can it do??? eatllw' Ask any student what he thinks about his college professors and his first reaction will usually be nega- tive and sometimes even brutal. Shepherd College students are no different. If asked how they feel about professors at Shepherd, stu- dents may respond at first by quot- ing the graffiti written on class- room desks. iOne fraternity brother who had just failed an exam, swore he was going to run the professor's shorts up the flagpole? But when students are completely honest, they'll admit that the majority of the professors at Shepherd genuinely care about their stu- dents. Shepherd College is small. It has an enrollment of 3,106 students and it employs 105 full-time teachers for the 1981-82 year. This small- ness makes Shepherd a student- oriented college. At larger schools where enrollments reach well over 20,000 students, the first priority is not always the student. These XVN larger institutions too often stress research as the main objective of the faculty. This emphasis on re- search leaves the professor inacces- sible to the student. A graduate student provides the personal day- to-day contact with the student and the possibility of a student-teacher relationship is almost nonexistent. Shepherd College professors are not required to publish or research outside the classroom. This allows them time to teach more classes and to concentrate specifically on I .N X X 2 eq Q if each course. Many professors do re- search outside the classroom but it is done strictly to enhance their own knowledge, not because they are pressured to do so. Most professors at Shepherd are more accessible to their students because of the emphasis on the classroom, rather than research. Each professor is required to have at least 10 hours a week when he is available to students. Specific hours are posted on each office door every semester. During these fi 24 yi I .sf 'Q by Debbi: Wh? Tin9T0n hours, the office door is almost al- ways open with the professor wait- ing inside. One professor at Shepherd must get a little lonely during these open hours because he actually begs his students to visit him if they need his assitance. At larger institutions, faculty members have impressive, elabo- rate credentials and the schools are usually highly rated. Shepherd Col- lege is no different. More than 50 percent of the faculty members at Shepherd have doctorate degrees in if I 'Q their teaching specialties. These doctorates were earned at 46 differ- ent institutions in the United States. Shepherd College also has a fine reputation and a high rating among colleges in the eastern part of the country. Shepherd's smallness is what at- tracted some of the faculty to the area. The teaching environment is more personal and the faculty is more aware of student goals. This smallness also gives the faculty a greater opportunity to affect change. As needs arise, professors at Shepherd search for better ways of teaching and for new innovations to be used in the classroom. One new method of teaching that is presently being used, especially in the business curriculum, is writ- ing. Professors complain that their students don't know how to write-almost every student has experienced the horrors of freshman composition. Now some professors are requiring term pap- ers in their courses. Also, multiple choice and true-false exams are being replaced with subjective questions and essays-many stu- dents cringe at the idea. At large schools professors don't have the time to grade written exams. But, at Shepherd, professors feel this in- novation in teaching will enable students to more successfully meet their goals. Writing is just one problem that professors complain about in stu- dents. In fact, you can bet that pro- fessors at Shepherd talk just as 4 much about their students as stu- dents talk about professors. Other major complaints some professors have about their students are lazi- ness, absenteeism from class and lack of preparation for class. Shepherd doesn't have the disci- pline problems that many larger schools have. Professors at Shepherd have many good things to say about their students these days. They feel that students are more goal-oriented and know what they want to accomplish. Also, profes- ,jx nu 5-I sors feel students are more materi- alistic than ever before. Students realize that because of the competi- tion in the world outside of school they won't get anywhere just slid- ing by in college. Most Shepherd professors seem to get great satis- faction and reward from being part of a successful student. Professors at Shepherd also seem - to genuinely care about each other. Many admit their closest friends are other faculty members. There is a faculty committee at Shepherd Da which consists of one professor from each division of study. The commit- tee serves as a mouthpiece to the administration for the entire fac- ulty. The committee has handled many issues, including the lack of parking places for the faculty and more important issues, such as ten- ure. The professor's main concern, however, is the student. Just pass by a professor anywhere on campus and helll almost always smile and say hello. It's not unusual to see a student stop by a professorls office just to chat. Most students won't admit it at first, but when they're completely honest they'll tell you that they genuinely care about 61' F9 OP ,of lt I their Shepherd College professors. N P.

My knees were trembling as I slowly entered the classroom to take the final exam. I sat down at a desk in the back of the room, behind the most intelligent-looking student I could find. I immediately clasped my No. 2 pencil and computer answer sheet and released a nervous sigh. My plan just had to work! The professor entered and a tense, doomed silence spread through the room. Damp, mimeographed exams were passed down each row of students. I skimmed mine, trying to look confident and cool, but the words on it looked foreign to me. The intelligent-looking guy in front of me was already filling in some answers - he had to be an A student. The professor said the usual things professors say about cheating before an exam and a big, hard lump formed in my throat. It was time for my plan to begin. I lifted my head to look at the guy's answer sheet in front of me, but the professor's eyes caught mine and I quickly looked down at my desk. I cleared my throat nervously and studied my empty answer sheet. Quickly, I looked up and the professor's eyes met mine again. Now my body was drenched in perspiration. I just had to pass this final. I lifted my head once more and the professor stared right at me. I just couldn't do it. Hurriedly, I filled in each answer without even looking at the questions. Final exams are one of the aspects of college that students fear most. But finals don't have to be so frightening. Finals Every student knows that there are a million better things to do than study. But what most students don't realize is that if their time is used wisely, they can study and still have time to party, swim, work and go home on weekends. For example, when you have an hour between classes don't go home or to the dorm and turn on television. Instead, go to the library. An entire chapter can be read and outlined in an hour. Also, when the alarm goes off in the morning and the bed feels too warm and cozy to leave, don't talk yourself out of getting up and going to class. Just by attending class and listening to what the professor is saying, you can reduce the amount of study time needed outside of class. The student who has used his time wisely throughout the semester won't have anything to fear when finals come around. But there are a few things which should be kept in mind. First, get to bed early the night before a final. This may sound corny, but a good night's sleep really does help. Being on time for the exam and having all the equipment you need with you will also help you get a higher grade. If the exam is objective, spend the first minute or so scanning the test to be sure you understand the instructions. To help budget your time, you can probably answer three to five true-fase questions or two to three multiple choice questions in one minute. Always answer the easiest questions first. This puts your mind to work right away and may give you cues to answering more difficult questions later. These suggestions for studying for and taking finals may not be for every student. Perhaps you're the type of student who can't study in the library because it's too quiet. You may need the radio blarring, several people talking around you and the television running to be able to concentrate. It may be that you approach finals study and taking finals in a totally different manner also. Whatever methods are used in finals preparation and test-taking, it's unanimously agreed by students everywhere that the best part of finals is the vacation afterwards!

But Homecoming 1981 revived the button-up-the-back sweaters and the school rings on chains as the Fabulous Fifties theme rock-n-rolled its way back onto the Shepherd campus. Thursday evening the Den twisted and jitterbugged to the tunes of Wash. D.C. DJ Bob Jenets. Friday evening the amphitheater resounded with a pep rally and afterwards, spirited students flowed over to west campus for beer, music and a crackling bonfire. Saturday morning the classic wheels of the Fifties were displayed in an auto show at the entrance to the football field. As gametime arrived, the eager Rams stampeded against W.Va. Weslyan and crushed their opponents 21-3. Halftime included a performance by the Marching Rams and an unveiling of Homecoming Queen Patty Reynolds and her beautiful court. After the game, a Victory Party was held in the Ballroom.

By his harried look after having fought the elements of nature and his vehi- cle By his drooped shoulders when he realizes he could have stayed at home several hours longer because the professor didn't show for his 8:10 class By the way he walks alone on campus, unlike dorm students who walk col- lectively By his screams in the parking lot when he discovers a parking ticket on his windshield and realizes he brought the vehicle that wasn't registered By his longing expression as he watches dorm students studying to- gether in the College Center By the way he studies the food selection in the cafeteria line, not really sure he wants to be that brave By the way he quickly shuffles into class at the last minute, out of breath from running from his car, up several hills and several flights of stairs By his loaded-down look since he can't pop in and out of a dorm to lighten his load '-'W'-VIYIIHIIY-'-,'ll -Ill-i By Sharon Cool crawl , Q 's'9'Qf5T:?iffW5g'Quwgl V t .

The oldest incorporated city in West Virginia, Shepherdstown was founded in 1834 by Thomas Shepherd and was originally named Mecklen- burg. lts name was later changed to Shepherdstown in honor ofits founder. Shepherdstown is rich with histori- cal significance. lt is noted for its grist mill and the C810 Canal which many people enuioy hiking and biking on to- day. Another bit of history can be seen at the James Rumsey monument which was named after the inventor of the steamboat. liumsey was a one-time res- ident of' Shepherdstown. Economically, the town was a boom- town in its early to middle years. lt was and always has been a small commu- nity, but its size was no indication ofits prosperity. The biggest economic change to happen to Shepherdstown was forthcoming, however. ln the early to mid 19th century, America was be- coming connected with the building of railroads. When it came time to build them in the Berkeley and Jefflirson county areas, Shepherdstown was left out in the cold. The rails only went to the nearby cities of Martinsburg and llarpers Ferry. Because of this, Shepherdstown could not compete as it once did lin terms ofeconomicsl. A few years later, the railroad came to the town, and once established, it enabled Shepherdstown to compete more effec- tively. .-Xnother event was about to happen that would also change Shepherdstiiwn. ln July 1871, the county seat of' -leflerson was moved from Shepherdstown to f'harles Town. The citizens of'Shepherdstown decided to put their recently-vacated court- house to use for educational purposes. guage, arts and sciences. A charter was drawn up and signed by men whose names may sound familiar to present day Shepherd students-A.R. Boteler and Henry Shepherd were two of them. These two, as well as five others were the governing force behind the institu- tion. They appointed instructors, paid salaries and prescribed programs of study. They appointed Joseph McMur- ran the principal of the institution on Sept. 2, 1871. In this first year ofopera- tion, the entire student body consisted of 42 students. Several years later this infant school became Shepherd Col- lege, The establishment of a college in a small town is bound to bring about change in the town. This was true of Shepherdstown, certainly, but not to the degree one might think. For in- stance, the physical boundaries of Shepherdstown have remained practi- cally unchanged since 1871. The major changes experienced by the townspeople were the students. The early years of the college did not bring as much change because there was a comparatively small student body. Today the town has approximately 1.500 to 2,000 more residents during the school year. This increase in popu- lation naturally affects the town's economy. The students represent a fair percentage of business given to the town's merchants. The establishment of Shepherd Col- lege surely changed Shepherdstown to a degree, but the small town on the Potomac still remains a historic, quiet community which just happens to be the home ofa smaller, more specialized community-Shepherd College, The inhabitants of both communities seem to mesh well, and with any luck will continue an atmosphere of community I l Photography by Scot Kitchirlg Design by Bruce Kaiser 1 Copy by Greg Handakas I I 1-J-L-244+ -Q- WL lhe building was originally used as a and harmony, high school.

The new residents brought new i ideas and cultural influences to the town while the old residents , maintained the friendly, down-to-earth atmosphere that makes Shepherdstown attractive to visitors. Three ofthese residents are Rollie and l ay Marenda and Willie lVlusser. Rollie and Fay represent the new residents who have migrated to this peaceful town to get away from the hustle and hustle of' the big city. Willie is the life-long resident of' Shepherdstown who has seen the town grow and change with the times. Should you ever wander into the Old Town Restaurant for a bite to eat, you are likely to run into either Rollie or Fay Marenda. They are the owners of' the restaurant and are only too happy to make your stop at the Old Town one of' the nicest and most memorable experiences you've ever had. The Marendas are new in Shepherdstown, They came here in ltllarch of' 1980 from San Francisco, Nlarenda was bored with his old job and when he learned the Old Town Restaurant was for sale, he bought it and moved to Shepherdstown. When the lNlarendas first arrived, the townspeople watched them closely. This was because ofthe Marendas' ethnic background. They are Filipino and this was new for Shepherdstown. Gradually, however, the townspeople accepted the Marendas and they became very close. The Marendas didn't have much trouble adapting to a small town or to western civilization because, coming l 68 full from the Philippines, they were already somewhat westernized. They did, however, offer the town a little bit of their eastern culture with the opening ofthe restaurant. The Marendas added a little bit oforiental cuisine to the menu and Shepherdstown soon learned to like it.. The menu, at the present, offers such oriental dishes as sukiyaki, egg rolls and egg foo yung. In the future, the Marendas plan to add a full oriental cuisine to the menu. Marenda is also working hard to cut his prices so the Old Town -1 enjoyed by all of Shepherdstown. The Marendas enjoy Shepherdstown very much. They feel it's a nice town to raise a family in and the closeness of the townspeople reminds them of the customs ofthe Philippines. The town, so far, has been good to the Marendas and they have been good for the town. For the Marendas, Shepherdstown is the last stop. Restaurant can be -vi: .- . . . the ld and the New For Willie Musser, Shepherdstown is also the last stop. Musser has been living in Shepherdstown for 76 years and has watched it change. Some of Musser's oldest memories include the burning ofthe Entler Hotel in 1912 and his graduation from Shepherd College in 1923. When he graduated, Shepherd had only 150 students. After graduation, Musser, whose father had ovnmed the Shepherdstown Independent newspaper and the Opera House, worked at both places preparing himself for when he would one day own them. The Independent newspaper's coverage included the entire tri-state area. It was not only a local and 'a '1 -v- regional paper, but it covered national news as well. The Opera House was the entertainment for the college students at that time and movies were shown there even before they reached Martinsburg, Charles Town or Hagerstown. This went on until about 1971. Musser survived through such hardships as the Great Depression. The town didn't feel the impact of the Depression until its peak from 1933 to 1936. Musser was working at the town's post office all through the Depression and didn't feel the effects of it that much. Through the years, he ran both the Independent and the Opera House . 1 . 2 41 'i ' . E I ,JE I 'A P34 11 wp, 'J lim' I '4 f Egg I ri f -. ' I ri 'QM 9 U Ei I I 1 1 ,gf simultaneously. He wanted to be a newspaper man because his family had always been affiliated with newspaper production. Being owner of the Independent was a life-long desire and accomplishment. In 1973, due to the paper shortage, the Independent was shut down, never to operate again. Musser has no regrets and never even considered reopening the paper for circulation. Musser has watched Shepherdstown change throughout the years and feels that it's been for the better all the way down the line. He attributes the town's success in changing with the times to Shepherd College. He feels that the town wouldn't exist without the college. Musser enjoys Shepherdstown very much and feels it's a very good town to live in. For the Marendas, Shepherdstown offered the start of something new. For Musser, the town has been a life-long companion. To these and all the other new and old residents of the town, Shepherdstown is home sweet home. 69 rf- .' nfyx 5 Y ' 'KISQQ ln, f?'-- N wg 3 ii-i - Q fx. .' 1 1. .li --K 2? 3 Y ig, f ,ll I A 1140 iff' ual ' '-30 5.0 5 TWCDUQVW WSTCDW 0 'fill ' I r ' Vinh QW vu?

Studies are complete, the excitement of graduation is fading quickly and here you stand at one of the major crossroads of your life. Questions abound in your mind: Should I continue school or find a job? If I choose to work, should I seek the job that pays best now or opt for a career position? Where should I live? What about a family? And, what about my degree? Will it really help me find success and happiness? . . . on and on the questions come . . . and only you can make these decisions. While you might be the methodical type and have the next moves all planned out, still, the time calls for an inner reflection. You must be certain to make the right decisions. If you feel apprehensive, indecisive or lost, take consolation in the fact that YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Many graudates from all over the world are facing the same situation you are. And though these questions and decisions may weigh heavily in your mind, they are in fact, superficial and close to meaningless. Because whatever you choose, you will find that success lies not in the choosing. Instead, success will be gained through perseverance of your choice. There is, however, one vital question which you must answer. How you answer will determine your sense of fulfillment in all that you've done so far. A proper realization will give you a strong foundation for future growth. The question is, What value does education hold for me?', There are people outside the college community who, for one reason or another, like to discredit the worth of higher education. They may rib you when you take that menial job to get through the summer, or cite examples of people with degrees who never made it. To a person who is neither sure ofhis direction or himself, this can be very disheartening. While education does provide an opportunity for advancement, it never guarantees success. This is why it is important to come to terms with the value education holds for you. And what value can education hold? Of course, it can open doors to unlimited opportunities, especially in these exciting times when many new fields are opening up. Computers and electronics have come of age. Soon every home will have its own stereophonic television, telephone, video game bank, check-recording computer complex. High-technology, solar hot water, home-heating, electricity-producing power cells are not far from the horizon either. ln the biosciences, major advances in understanding nutrition, cell physiology and genetics are being made. Chemistry, the underlying science of all things, is progressing in quantum jumpsg soon we will come to know the innerworkings of the atom. We know we are getting somewhere when the questions outweigh the answers. Art and music are ever changing. They must, since they are but a reflection of the times. And in these changing times teachers will be needed. People who will be able to comprehend the new concepts and teach them to others. However, even more important than the opportunities that education can bring, education provides the vital link for the progress of man. The college environment is good for the exchange of ideas, opinions and character. Where else can black meet white, farmer meet suburbanite and all get to meet someone totally different? This intermingling is important for the preservation of the world and no less than that! While it may sound a little too grand to say that we at Shepherd College are being instrumental in world peace, in a not so abstract, collective way, this is precisely what we are doing. From the Message In The Time Capsule,'l written by Albert Einstein for the 1939 Worlds' Fair, we read . . . Furthermore, people living in different countries kill each other at different time intervals, so that anyone who thinks of the future must live in fear. This is due to the fact that the intelligence and character of the masses are incomparably lower than the intelligence and character of the few who produce something valuable for the community. I trust that posterity will read these statements with a feeling of proud and justified superiority. Albert Einstein knew that peace lies with the enlightened masses. And he was a pretty smart man. 77 Graduation: A Time for Moving On 5 Copy by blzmon Cool . I Counted days. Final assignments. Concluded classes. Last-minute cramming. Conquered finals. Partyin' time!
