Nursing reflections r ' w% 1 urn. the ri WSricks ' being of a si 1L«.JS1 We comforted ourselves in the thought that in our world nothing is static — that this, too, would pass. Inconvenience was a price we gladly paid as tranquility gradually returned. m Commuting students travel via various means of transportation. Many live as far away as Pickens, South Carolina, and a few nurses come from over the state line for an education. Hours spent on the road are of- ten proportional to those spent in the classroom. 10 A good percentage of the populace of USC-S is comprised of married students. Mrs. Mary Anne Mus- tard, mother of a two-year old, wades through 203 English, while Mrs. Betty Waters listens intently to the lecture. Some married students even find time to at- tend school functions. 11 12 Many students earn tuition money or pocket money by working outside the University. As a disc jockey at a local radio station, Dave Whelchel finds time to be a full-time student w hile participating in extracurricular activities. Bell Telephone supplies Mary Neighbors with a part-time job, as Don Camby attends school in the mornings, works a forty-hour week at Draper Corporation, and provides for a family of three. 13 Under the USC-S College Work Study Program, stu- dents are able to earn extra money while on campus. Lynn Reynolds irons books from three to nine; Wanda Franklin gives a permanent press to Mrs. Wildman ' s lecture notes, while Meatrice Speer tends to the influx of calls. ctivities 15 D E D I C A T I O N On behalf of the students, faculty, and administration, we, the Yearbook stal , dedicate our annual to the man who is recognized throughout the State as Mr. University. His qualities of leadership, his educational statesmanship, his friendly smile, his soft words of encouragement have inspired us all to carry the name of the University to ever greater heights. Without his firm hand at the helm the University of South Carolina at Spartanburg would be only a hollow dream instead of the outstanding example of what a regional campus can mean to the people of the area it serves. We proudly salute President Thomas F. |ones. 16 The academic program, our reason for being, chal- lenges us with its infinite variety. The fundamentals of knowledge are purchased dearly by long hours in the classroom or the library. It is through such diligence that our dreams of success in a chosen career may someday be realized. A c A D E M I C s 17 Many of our professors find it helpful to hold informal classes. The Biology 223 class spent many cold hours wading through streams just to get that one extra Marchantia or Mnium. 18 The low-key lectures and after-class chatter make life here casual and informative. Easily accessible teachers give counsel when needed. Anything is discussed: tests, politics, society, hobbies, and textbook characters. 19 Repetez, s ' ll vous plait! — These words are familiar sounds, whether in Espahol, Deutch, or Fran ais to students using the language labs. Bare-footed instruc- tors may often be seen checking booths to insure that all are in perfect working order. Pollution studies CH3NH,(1) -I- H ,0 frogs in formaldehyde . . .

Often, too, our instructors ap- pear before community groups and others outside the school. s 22 In addition, well-known professors and writers from other schools lectured on our campus. William Bee- son, head of the Arts Council, introduced the students to two contemporary authors, Fred Chappell, poet, and Guy Owen, author of The Flim-Flam Man. Dr. Owen discussed his methods of attempting to write a book and answered questions of the students. Mr. Chappell, who is working on a long, narrative poem, parts of which are autobiographical, read selections from his work. Mil iliiiii Miili 23 y 24 Texts closed, and pens poised, we face exams. As the ten- sion mounts, brave students silently take their seats. Quietness pervades the classroom, and the professor saun- ters toward his desk. The GPR hangs in the balance. One hour, two hours, and soon the time has come to relinquish our papers. The door is closed, and a new semester is born. Out in the hail one small voice can be heard, Hey, how about a bridge game; next exam isn ' t till one. 25 26 27 Expansion of the Physical Educa- tion Department has led to a grow- ing participation in various sports. Cutter balls, strikes, and curves characterize the bowling classes. Other individual sports offered are jogging, dancing, and golf. To develop good sportsmanship team sports such as volleyball and Softball are offered. 28 29 The buzzer screams its command for action as Coach Bowman reveals a last minute strategy. )oe Bowman came from New Mexico to organize our basketball team with only two returning players. 30 The coach ' s first step was to whip his re- cruits into training: rugged practice plus hours of jogging and exercising. The opening game of the season with Florence brought defeat, but, undaunted. Bowman and his Bantams struck back to add wins to our scoreboard. Basketball Danny lohnson — co-captain Elbert )ones — co-captain Ray Blackwell lohnny Lipscomb |im Smith Jerry Vaughn Mike West Ralph Allison Dean Blanton Richard Dodd Chuck Casey Randy Thomason Larry Horsley 31 « vi The turning point of the season arrived at the USC-S vs. USC-Union game. With the score 69-69, overtime was called. Danny lohnson paced the Bantams to an 85-69 victory. Total baskets for Danny: 42 points, a USC-S record. Y t v4 s 32 33 Though spirit was often on the wane, the Faithful Few — faculty members, girl friends, and wives — were always there to boost the team. 34 35 1 c A A Dr. Stirzaker may think he can dictate the game to our advan- tage, but most of the time the rets iust don ' t listen. H 36 Foul shots, time-outs, double dribbles cause tension to mount, expectancy to rise. Mid-season saw a gain of two more players. Randy Thomason and Mike West. Along with the rest of the team, they learned to respect and accept Coach Bowman ' s decisions, off court and on. 38 Cheerleaders Carol Boulware — captain Donna Coffey — co-captain Terri McMillan Bennie Sue Anderson Wilhemina Turner Debbie Wilson Melody Hope Melissa Hammond Carol Henderson I 39 Rustling pompons . . . off-key ballads at the back of the bus . . . booster buttons . . . pep rallies in the Roost . . . These sights and sounds characterize the tireless spirit of the cheerleading squad. i . - -V, V 40 Nearing the close of the 1969-70 season the team and its coach had proven themselves to the satisfaction of the student body. The USC-S Bantams appeared to be developing into a first-rate tournament contender. And first-rate they were, winning second place and our first inter-collegiate trophy. y y I 41 Dear Editor ,1 way of convocation , 1 not prof « that the school wi ,, iTanspoTlaUonJo es ha r, s ' hasKetbaU 8 n,um- ?StaHen care o ° . and cations betv een ; proved, ' le faculty has f i ixigetec- T e pvobien °S ' proved over has been ' PJ ledthe t a ev-:r £les. - On ' nctin e trjcn ' ' °Jiace this year- - the rest ' lueadyP ::t astfo of the year ar a pport tno r Hor he dance °-  S it The amount °i PP° ' : nces ' ' office more dances office.

The first meetings were concerned with elections, business procedures, and student activities. This newly gained experience aided members in planning elections to fill vacant offices. BONNIE LANEY SGA Secretary 44 Freshman Class President CLIFFORD WELSH SGA Vice-President JUDY ALLEN LYNN REYNOLDS SGA Treasurer Now complete, the SGA has begun rewriting the constitution, creating a more practical registration, and closing our present communications gap. Seen here are some of the officers and senators voting on a social committee report concerning the allotment of funds for a school dance. 45 In doing our own thing we experienced a wild night of free expression turned on by the musical en- tertainment of the Toy Factory. While the pungent aroma of jasmine incense filled the room, Nick and Bonnie, among other couples, pulsated to the rhythm of hard rock and acid. An outsider, stumbling upon the scene, would have thought he had blown his mind. 46 Dressed in freaked-out attire instead of the usual color-coordinated mode, flower-cfiildren danced on as Dean paused for a brief moment of relaxation. 47 •«? V ' . a  fi? M ;i. - .-: ' What better way to start a year ' s social lite than on a balmy afternoon at the SGA Bar-B-Q. Scheduled for the day were softball, volleyball, and football. Next, a cookout was prepared by our dedicated Dr. Edmunds and volunteer help. The evening saw all gyrating to the music of the Entertai rs. 48 After an exhausting day of coed activities and the presen- tation of a crying towel to the faculty volleyball team, food was a welcome sight - to Geraldine and everyone. The ever-present police looked on as the night came to a close. The social schedule of USC-S was initiated that night. 49 Dust those chairs, Where ' s number 14? and Anybody seen my hat were preliminary cries at the first beauty contest held at USC-S. Co-sponsored by the Carolana statt and the SG A, the theme of Winter Wonderland was successful with the aid of Linda Costner ' s piano accompaniment and Carol Boulware ' s singmg. Sophomore Beauty: DONNA COFFEY ' , 50 Santa Claus, alias Dave Whelchel, interviewed each contestant. We wonder who enjoyed it more — the audience or Dave. Freshman Beauty: CATHY TRIPP 51 Miss Sophomore: JULIE CLORE 52 Miss Freshman: MARIE WOOD 53 , I N T E R N A T I O N A L R E L A T I O N S c L U B 54 The Internationdl Relations Club, under the leader- ship of F ' resident Earl Pruitt, presents USC-S with a var- ied program of foreign studies. In special programs throughout the year, M. Cuinefort discussed European Unification and Walter Hyatt entertained with Christ- mas songs of several lands. 55 Student Nurses ' Association Pass those bed pans to and tro, hurry, nurse . . . Carol Owens plays a big part in an OB skit. Margaret, Mary )o, loan, and lane await their turn to act. They play now, but serious needs turn these girls into dedicated nursing students. Alter the state boards in |une, they, as registered nurses, will choose careers among such fields as mental health, pedi- atrics, psychiatry, industrial work, and hospital care. 56 ! f l Preps, contractions, fetal heart tones . . . such words ... no wonder the nursing students did everything wrong that day. All she (the mound) wanted to do was have her baby. Back to lab, girls. 57 DORM LIFE 58 Students take temperatures, give medicine and shots, visit patients, give baths, and assist doctors only after long hours of study. They practice on the universal plastic patient Miss Suzy Chase. She has had more catherizations, IV ' s, and enemas than any other woman surviving. After classes, however, her tor- mentors relax and have hen sessions. Trudy Kelly is the presi- dent of the Student Nurses ' Association. 59 Photography Club PHITIGRAPHY CLUI Flashbulbs, chemical bottles, enlargements, printing pap- er, and art (?) photos are part of the special world of the Photography Club. Providing the student publications with photographic records of student activities is the major re- sponsibility of Earl Pruitt and Karl Hess. 60 Baptist Student Union Through confronting questions, encouraging communica- tion, and experiencing communion with others and God, the B.S.U. fulfills its purpose on the USC-S campus. Al- though President |oe Ann Love is actively involved in the nursing program, she finds the time to preside over meet- ings. 61 c A R O L A N A With hurried deadlines to meet, Diane Kingery, editor, and Larry Wotlord, associate editor, always found a willing staff on hand. Sunday meetings found Bob, Marion, Danny, Lauris, and Lynn at Mr. Knight ' s house. Stanley ' s jokes helped Rom, Denise, Bonnie, and Susan get through those long hours of copywriting. s T A F F 62 r: C A R O L I N I A N The Carolinian keeps us informed of campus, local, and national happenings. Nancy Harris headed the stat ' until second semester when |im Smith took over as editor and Mary )o Tone as associate editor. Through their eyes we saw the moratorium and visual- ized campus problems. s T A F F 63 Chess Club Amidst the calls of three no-trump, gin, can- asta, and rummy, the silence of the chess play- ers is noticeable. Opponents match slsill against skill; their imagination, ability, and dis- cipline determine who is better at this ancient game of battle, lames Greenvvay, president, is one chess buff. 64 Honor Society One organization continued from last year is the Honor Society. Under the leadership of Judy Allen, president, the club took on the challenge of aiding troubled students during registration for the new term. |o, Betty, and Judy maintain a GPR of at least 3.00. 65 Farmer in the Dell . . . punch and cookies . . . Santa beckoning each child to his knee to bestow a Christmas gift . . . These events were the highlights of the Tutorial Program, a first at USC-S under the joint sponsorship of several org anizations. The children came from different areas surrounding the city for the Christmas party. 67 Children and grandchildren of our faculty were given a party by the University Womens ' Club. Tots, teens, and in-betweens munched cookies and drank the customary- punch while proud parents compared offspring. 68  m- olleagues ADMINISTRATION AND STAFF Dr. N A Stirzaker Director Mr. Tom Da is Student Affairs Mr. Paul Mack Registrar Miss leanette Baldwin Secretary Mrs. Betty Ebert Secretary Miss Frances Hackett Secretary Mrs. Jane Johnson Librarian Miss Marian Murph Secretary Miss lackie Riley Secretary Miss Peggy Sprouse Secretary Mrs. Kaylene Wilber Librarian 70 FACULTY Miss Nancy Babb Nursing 1r I.
