The usual events seemed to happen in the same sequence as students wearily completed their registra- tion procedures and headed to the crowd- ed bookstore. Classes started right on schedule, and the beginning of a new learning experience had students on their way to being different. Most students not only spent hours do- ing homework, but worked hard at their part-time jobs for money to attend college. Jobs included anything from tutoring oth- er students to working at the mall. At times it was hard holding down a job and The campus with the new addition of the Japanese Gardens created a whole new experience as students viewed an area in a different cultural standpoint. The gardens were sponsored by Sara Mills, and the dedication was made on October 7, 1986, followed by a reception. As warm weather approached and the air reaked of spring fever, students felt the effects as it became harder and harder to stay in class. Suddenly sick days were tak- en when not needed and homework really became a burden. Arriving just in time, the annual Spring Fling brought students a sense of nostalgia as they celebrated the coming of warm weather. Then like a dream came true, students confirmed permanent departures. Gradua- keeping our grades up to their poten- tial, but it was all part of the college life. However, the college life luckily was not the dead beat of all work and no play. As the year steadily progressed, the fun started creeping in. With breaks in between classes, the com- mons became the place to be. Stu- dents became ac- tive in clubs, intra- murals, school, dances, and making new friends, all that added up to what made the college life unique.

With a new and differ- ent outlook on life tucked under our belts, we closed the school year. We had been different - we had completed our year of work with pride, with new friends, and with a sense of accomplish- ment! 2 WHY NOT BE DIFFERENT?

Everest with winds at 100 mph blowing directy against the upward climb can be looked at by students as only a minor accomplishment when com- pared to the long journey up the stairs to the technical arts building. Every- day students must test their endurance as they make this climb for classes. Hopeless requests were made to install escalators, but students knew the limits. What made the climb even more tedious? Classes like English, horticul- ture, and automotive mechanics only added to the frustration of the climb. However, the classes were not as bad as their labels made them out to be. With enthusiastic teachers who cre- atively reconstructed the class content into the students' lives, the classes turned to be stimulating for the mind. How did students withstand the big climb? The gym and Weightlifting room were constantly being used by students who were determined to keep in shape. Activities like volleyball, basketball, and weightlifting, not only were good exercise, but they brought spectators from all over campus to watch the events. Also, high above the lower campus, we found one of the most beautiful community centers in this part of the country named after the man who was the chief benefactor, John A. Walker. Visiting this .area gave the students a little variety in life. There were out- standing events such as The Fantas- tiks, Nutcracker Ballet, Vienna Choir Boys, and The Peking Acrobats. These were only four of the events that took place. , As we strived to get to the upper campus, we saw beautiful flowers on the way up and when we were at the top, there was beauty to behold. The horticulture students worked relent- less hours sculpturing the flowers and shrubbery until they achieved perfec- tion. It was this desire to be the best that made us different. Yes, we were different! 'le Pete Mann, as Chairperson of the Humanities and Social Sciences Department works hard at his job. His office is located in the Technical Arts building on the second floor. UPPER CAMPUS WW I f ky , Q27 X X X X X CWX! The Perfect Place The Commons headed straight for the commons as soon as I parked my car. I had hoped to look over my notes for an early morning test. There was Sherry, sitting at her usu- al table with an open book in front of her. She was pretending to study, but she couldn't fool me. I knew she wasn't studying, but instead, she was watch- ing re-runs of Gomer Pyle, USMC on the television. It never failed. Every morning, she was sitting at a table with a clear view of the screen. By 8:30, the commons was already packed. Forget studying, there was too much to do. Sherry was too involved in Go- mer , so I went over to the couch to catch up on the latest gossip. Instead, I ended up looking at men with Susan and Angela. There were so from, and the commons was the perfect place to see them alll The perfect place - that sums it all up. The commons had the comfort- able couches to relax, the tables for eating and studying, and the television set to distract those i 2 who tried to I study.

And pingpong was just down the hall with the pinball and video machines. Besides the normal day activities, the commons was often transformed into a Gong Show stage, a video movie theater, and even a dance floor. On Monday mornings there was a spe- cial event - the showing of the last Friday's Miami Vice -- just in case you missed it. The commons was the center of the college life. It was a gathering place for everyone of all majors. The me- chanics mixed with the nursing stu- dents and the electronics majors were found talking to the transfer students. Without the commons, these people would probably never have known each other, never have become friends. Most of the classes were filled with students of the same majors, not the variety that was found In a sense, the commons was like Amer- ica - a melt- ing pot, for stu- dents who liked Gomer Pyle reruns and even those who didn't. . . .

Whether it was attending classes, going to see a play at John A. Walker Community Cen- ter, or supporting the wrestling team, students lived within an en- tirely new experience. The time was a different time, and so were the people, but we managed to assemble our differ- ences to make life more amusing. We shared our classes, our free time, and our friends while we lived the college experience. The college experience was a big change for freshmen as they en- countered the confusion of regis- tration. Each felt the effects as they stood in line waiting to pay for classes, to have pictures made, and to buy books. With the first activities provided by the SGA, students flocked to the End of the Summer , intra- mural volleyball games, and to the third annual Gong Shown to share the new experience. Students participated, and other observed at a distance, but we all became a part of what made the difference. The year grew stronger and stronger each day as students be- came more involved in clubs, sports and classes. Studying be- came monotonous, and students relied heavily on weekends to res- cue them from insanity. It was the excitement of social events, the praise of completing club projects, and the relief of re- ceiving passing grades at quarters end that kept students struggling on. The college experience also in- cluded events outside the campus. Students blended with the crowds at the Apple Festival, and SGA represented the college with a booth providing information about WCC. Even further outside the campus, many of us went to Greensboro and Charlotte to see 38 Special, Lionel Ritchie, David Lee Roth, Journey, and Hank Williams, Jr. perform the latest music craze.

Concerned with many ob- jectives of the college - and especial- ly students interests, administrators too were part of the college life. Life with the faculty had much of the same interest. Salaries were not the only reward of their hard work, but also the promising outcome of stu- dents' participation in the learning experience. The year had its share of rivalry as the wrestling team proudly represent- ed the college. With about fifteen matches sched- uled to partici- pate in, the mem- bers were com- mended for their hard work by fa- vorable scores. They wrestled against such fierce competi- tors as Elon, Da- vidson, Furman, Guilford, and Gardner Webb colleges. There was also an even stronger rivalry between the faculty and students as both met face to face in the second an- nual Turkey Tip-Off Students VS Faculty Bas- ketball Game. Spectators of all kinds came to see the spectacular show as students STUDENT ACTIVITIES Wayne Macemore and Greg Wilmouth help out at the booth sponsored by SGA during the Apple Festival. and faculty played grit against grit un- til a winner was verified. The college life also included activi- ties of a more serious nature. Phi The- ta Kappa supportively sponsored two successful bloodmobiles during the year, and Baptist Student Union planned the probability of summer missions with determination. At the same time Campus Security had the rules and regulations under strict con- trol, as they made every effort to serve and protect campus and people. Just a few seconds away, the John A. Walker Center was busy all through the year with out- standing events such as con- certs, plays, and simply programs of pure entertain- ment. The shows featured drama, singing, and fascination as crowds hoarded to the exhibit is to fulfill their de- sires for more than just the same daily routine. Whether students par- ticipated in clubs, sports, or went to see the newest play, it was all about being different. i N 9,-'SRG '55 41 -'MW3 ' sin. , opaq- -ti v is 4 3 :Y 0 ,5Y I. J 7 I?

STUDENT ACTIVITIES - ll he college life meant A more than just academ- ics and hard work.. There was more to life than passing grades and adequate credit hours as students struggled through the re- quirements of college. They also demanded more out of the college life. The year was about being different. Starting with the same intentions, students went to classes, but because they wanted more -- they did more. They became ac- tive members of clubs and organizations to make life more pleasing. Working together, mem- bers of clubs and organiza- tions planned and perfected projects to serve the com- e munity better. There were projects that assisted, in- t formed, and entertained, but all resulted from a need j of diversity. Individuals were totally 4 different, and it was their 5 different points of view that made this years distinct from T any other. We all had to learn to blend these differ- i ences together to be benefi- cial. It was a hard goal to achieve, but determination 12 -- CLUBS Sc ORGANIZATIONS mi overcame any conflicts. SGA paved the way for f the entrance of the new school year as they yielded the freshmen picnic on reg- istration day. Sociable Q events were lanned for stu- l p , dents by SGA along with Baptist Student Union and T the Ski Club. These were all concerned regarding what the interests of the students were. r While serving students and the community, Phi Theta Kappa encouraged leadership and scholarship of students, and clubs like Phi Beta Lambda and Ye Host concentrated more on career oriented activities. Protecting the campus and enforcing the campus rules was the Campus Security. All of which gave the year its uniqueness and created the difference. The difference also came when people like Kevin Mir- acle, Daniel Jean, and Da- vid Wiles came together to observe and exprience a partial eclipse as a group. It was the people and ideas or- ganized in a unique way that made the year different. xl I I 7046 Wal ge D6ffeflewl7 CLUBS 8: OR YEARBOOK STAFF U l4 eeping up was the name of the game for members of the year- book staff. The staff was constantly on the go trying to catch the latest news, photo- graph the worthy events, and meet the deadlines that creat- ed a life and death situation. There were times of fun and times that were seri- ous, as the staff worked to complete an overview of the yearis events. The staff had a head start as the edi- tors attended a work- shop at UNC-Cha- pel Hill. Creativity was entwined in the techniques of design- ing the yearbook in order to achieve per- fection. A central theme was estab- lished, and the first - YEARBOOK plett Chief editor Robin Tri- plett, copy-editor, Dana Michael, Co-editor, and George Govednik, chief photographer.

After returning, the staff immediately put the new ideas into prospective and rough sketches of the first few pages were constituted. Slowly but surely the book was put together for the singleness of pur- pose for students to have a history of the year to look back on. Supported fully by Dr. Hendrix, Dr. Thompson, and Dr. Daniel, the book was completed in the first few days of Febru- ary. The full reward of all the hard work came when students eagerly received the finished product.

Phi Theta Kappa was founded in 1918 at Stephens College in 'Colum- bia, Missouri. Today there are over 700 regular and alumni chapters na- tionwide. The fraternity is a vital and integral part of the college. The purpose of Phi Theta Kappa is to recognize and to encourage schol- arship, leadership, and service among two-year college students. Hence, the fraternity is more than a club or a list. The members enter into an intellectu- al and cultural fellowship that extends beyond the campus.

Timidly, I walked into the commons. All those students looked so cool and confident. Little did I know, soon I would have the casualness - it was natural. Now, as a second year student, Iwish I would have known how simple it was. To fit in, one must know the basic student rules. These are not written rules, but should be fol- lowed just the same: l. No one must pay at- tention to intellectual shows on the televi' sion in the commons. These include: Hour Magazine, Donahue, and Mr. Rogers. 2. To communicate with others, one must watch music videos, soap operas, Beverly Hillbillys, Wheel of Fortune, and Gomer Pyle, USMC. 30 PEOPLE .,,f ,W WX 3. The Ping Pong table, video machines, and pinball machines must constantly stay in use. If you see a video machine get- ting cold, it is your duty as a student, to get it operating again. 4. Students must look at clocks every five min- utes to properly dread the beginning of class. When that dreaded hour ap- pears, students should ask them- selves, 'tis Psycholo- gy really more impor- tant than ping pong? 5. And lastly, students must pollute their bodies with Coca- Cola and f or coffee at 8:30 in the morning. Thatis what Hilda gets paid for! It may all seem so com- plicated, but it works out fine if you just smile and look like you are having fun. Before you know it, you have attracted friends and even the faculty seems human -- some of them, that is. . . , Helen Markle A, f f 27 f My 5, ,, 4 ff ,M , ,, ,, ,, A f , ff Z, V f , ,W 6 ff ff, X , ,Z f WM 7 PEOPLE 3- 31 Joyce Absher Lee Ann Alexander Mattie Andrews Kenneth Ashley Karin Bare Kelley Bare Robin Barton Martin Bauguss Melissa Beach Phyllis Billings Lisa Blackburn Sherry Blackburn Stanley Blackburn Alisah Blevins Patricia Blevins Cynthia Bottomley Daron Brown Barbara Bullard Amy Bumgarner Rita Bumgarner Ai IT N'T H RT Phi Theta Kappa spon- sored their annual Blood- mobile on September 9, 1986, for a community service project.

The center was used by P.E. classes, training athletes, and indi- viduals who wanted to get in shape. Lifting weights is a lot of hard work and can strengthen a person's endurance. Individuals had a choice between working out with the hydro fitness machines or using free weights. Ac- cording to John Roberts, an instructor at the weight lift- ing center, the program is a field in which a person must discipline himself because it is an individual sport. Joe Linney, another in- structor at the center, said that the average student who works out in the center wants to firm up, get in con- dition and lose a few pounds. Mr. Linney also added that weight lifting is a good program for the mid- dle-aged and elderly be- cause of its safety. So, if you are looking for a way to lose a few extra pounds or to get in shape - try the new weight-lifting program and feel the difference. . , .

Time and again, the cast prac- ticed songs, dances, and blocking until near perfec- tion was achieved. lt was hard and timely work, but the kind of work the cast enjoyed. Working closely and being around one another allowed the cast to really get to know each other. The cast had become a big family. During the rehearsals, time dragged unbelievably, and it seemed as if opening night would never arrive. lt was inevitable. Finally the night that had so been waited for arrived, and the cast nervously took their places. Lights shone brightly and the lively music started, the magic had be- gun. The actors and techni- cians were ready. The two hours that had once felt like 24 hours flew by. Then it was time for the curtain call. With each round of applause, the per- formers' hearts swelled big- ger and bigger. They had experienced a thrill almost indescribable. Their hard work and long hours had paid off, and they had made it! It had truly been a Fan- tastik experience. . . .

Purchasing Department The purchasing department was a vital part of the college. This area did all the purchasing for the entire college except for the bookstore. Without this de- partment where would the wrestlers have been without mats, students without desks, and the student dances without a band to play. They had many responsibilities, in fact they could have been referred to as one of the mainstreams of the college. Frank Shuford was the su- perintendent of buildings, equipment, and purchasing. He tried to ensure that the college received what was requested, if funds were available and the request met criteria governed by N.C. State laws. Frank stat- ed, purchasing is something everyone thinks they know how to do, but once you are in the position you wonder why any- one in their right minds would want the job. Magdalene Matt Wall was the executive secretary, and Jill Messick was her assistant. Randy Calhoun was equipment coordinator, and Johnny Ble- vins helped Randy with his many tasks.

The most re- cent development was the implementation of the Lo- bis-Leuven Library System which eventually will com- puterize the circulation and acquisition of all materials in the library. According to librarian, Audrey McNeil, one of our libraryis greatest assets was the emphasis placed on cur- riculum acquisition. Due to the priority given to the re- quests of the students and faculty, each area was rep- resented by the appropriate materials. Whether it was to meet people, study, read, do re- search, or just get away - there was no better place than the library. A.

We start- ed out learning the basics in fundamentals of nurs- ing. Getting nervous about making up a bed, may sound crazy, but we were the day our making up hospital beds was checked off. Medical terminology proved to be a challenge along the way. Often while sitting in class someone would say it starts with h when she could not recall the cor- rect way to pronounce a medical term. Our in- structor would laugh and say, I can just see this group taking state boards and saying it starts with an 'h'. Rotation at the Broughton Hospital last summer was certainly a different experience. Cases like cars not start- ing and being offered help from men that could not be pinpointed as pa- tients or staff of Broughton made the ex- perience in class by itself. What made the nurs- ing program worthwhile was the closeness be- tween us. We were one big family of friends. This closeness was the key to the success of completing the program. . . .

At the peak of the drought, crops wilted from southern Pennsylvania all the way into northern Florida. Even after some rain, many farm- ers in the Carolinas, Geor- gia, Tennessee and Virginia were on the brink of ruin. The year also brought on two of Ronald Reagan's big- to discuss arms control. The two leaders reached an im- passe on testing of the U.S. Star Wars weaponry. Also in October, the president signed into law the broadest tax overhaul in a generation. The bill cut taxes for most workers while paring some prized deductions and boosting the tax burden on corporations. Rep.

Completing His 10th Year Since becoming Presi- dent of the College in 1977, Dr, Daniel has found that a College that is set upon a hill cannot be hid ... In a county that boasts education, this Col- lege stands alone. From the first year as President, he has made sure that this institution of higher learn- ing has been at the top. This takes wisdom, dedica- tion, and an insight into the future of education. His leadership, goals, and politics have raised this College to true distinction among all state colleges. He encourages the stu- dents, faculty, and admin- istration of this institution to thinkfreely. He leads the way for change and for improvement. Dr. Daniel is active in the Church, Community, and State. He is presently serving as President of the Southern Association of Community and Junior Collegesg member of the Board of Wilkes United Wayg member of Advisory Committee of North Caro- lina State University adult and Community College Education Department, member of the Advisory Committee for Law En- forcement Education of the Community Collegesg member of the North Wilkesboro Kiwanis Clubg a member of the Council on, Resource Developmentg a member at large of the Old Hickory Council Boy Scouts of Americag a emember of the National Council for Resource De- velopment, and he teaches a Sunday School class at the North Wilkesboro Methodist Church.

A ,af ,sw , sf , his ss.:,sszf5:,y2iefffestff-f' fr In this day and age it is almost a necessity for col- lege students to draw some type of income. As it's tu- ition and books alone were not enough to join the working class for, one must still meet other finan- cial obligations. Things such as car payments, in- surance payments, fast- food grocery bills, and par- tying expenses for example must also be met. This also includes the married WCC student who must take care of his family, and his college expenses at the same time. Eighty-four percent of WCC students hold either part-time or full time jobs. This staggeringly high number is partly attributed to the earnestness that the helpful college faculty of- fers in working with em- ployed students. It has also to do with the availability of jobs in the community that does not interfere too much with the students schedule or that doesn't cut into studying time of the student a great deal. The jobs students hold are usually found through the Cooperative Education Department led by Mrs. Donalee Davis. Mr. Henry Pepper is assisting a student with a job ap- plication. Mr. Pepper works as Faculty Coordinator of Coopera- tive Education. 102 FACULTY 8c STAFF You can see WCC stu- dents anywhere in this herni- sphere, working at every place imaginable. From bag boys in Yadkin County, to whatever else is left here in Wilkes County. For many people their jobs are not so much an in- convenience, but a pleasure. Gail Byrd, a graduate from Wilkes Central High School is one such person. Gail, a sophomore at the College enjoys her job as a proof de- coder at First Union Bank immensely. She said her job is enjoyable because, I know what is expected of me, therefore, I can do a good job and, I have fun with the people I work with. Another person who en- joys her job is Kim Hen- derson. Working in the men's department in Belks, she says her job is good training for her desired fu- ture career as a fashion designer. Some students find the task of working and going to schooi to be overly ex- hausting. In this case they resort to part-time em- ployment on weekends. Marcus Lynch is one such person. He works in a gro- cery store in Yadkinville. Marcus commented that this part-time position en- ables him to concentrate soley on his school work, as his high grades can attest. Other individuals have to sacrifice somewhat of their time in order to maintain their jobs successfully. Keith Whitley summed up his feelings and the feel- ings of many, many stu- dents when he voiced his opinion about his full time position at First Union Bank, when he said, I don't have as much time to study as I would like, but if I didn't have this job, I couldn't go to schoolf' Calvin Coolidge said, The Business of America is Businessf' This is a great opportunity that we as stu- dents have, to earn an edu- cation, while we learn the business of our country. . . .

Beyond the academic side of col- lege life lies another extremely impor- tant part of education . . . student ac- tivities. Students don't just learn in the classroom. Many valuable lessons in life are taught through interactions with others, and thatls one thing that makes WCC different. The students here enjoy each other's company. They all have the desire to get in- volved and become part of the many adventures offered through Student Development. They take academics seriously, but they also take their good times seriously. Because who said we always have to be learning? Sometimes we need to take having fun and mix it with an education. Student activities are numerous. Dances, picnics, and clubs provide a stimulating social environment. The commons is always a popular place. It provides an area to Cat lunch, watch a movie, play rook, or socialize with a friend. This allows students to get to know each other well. They also, in a sense, get to pick their favorites. Each year, a few special individuals are chosen to represent the best in their selected fields. This is done through a student nomination and voting pro- cess. Receiving the title of Mr. or Ms. WCC takes the highest honors. Fol- lowing are the titles of Ms. Cougar, Ms. College Transfer, and Ms. Tech- nical. The exciting week of Winterfest also highlights an honored individual - the Winterfest Queen. Winterfest l2O - STUDENT LIFE is celebrated with numerous activities all week, and ends with a semi-formal dance. This event is held at the John A. Walker Center, and 'features a live band. The Queen is announced at the dance, and her crowning is an event we all anticipate. The faculty are allowed to choose students in yet another aspect. Through faculty judgment and nomi- nation honorabie students are select- ed to be a member of 'Who's Who. They are nominated from outstanding leadership, scholarship, and service qualities. This is a prestigious recog- nition that students are proud to receive. For those interested in athletics the school offers a wide range of intramu- ral sports. Students participate in a competitive yet friendiy manner. These games provide an outlet after a long day of studies, and also provide recreation for the students. On the coiiegiate level, athletes compiete on baseball and wrestling teams. These teams have been successful thus far, and have enjoyed support given by the students and faculty. Therefore, we can conclude that student activities are definitely an im- portant part of a student's education - both in and outside of the class- room.

SOFTBALL WCC Captures North Carolina Community College Championship THE RO D TO WHITE ILLE As the last out was made in the finals of the North Carolina Com- munity College Championship in Whiteville, Wilkes softball team finished the tournament as the 1986 state champs. It took a lot of hard work and dedication, with each team member giving moral support throughout the tournament. There were others who de- served much of the praise for sup- port thate came with success in- cluding assistant coach, Chris Caudle and scorekeeper, Bruce Groce, but it was head coach Her- man Norman who directed the team toward the captured title. The tournament got underway with victories over Sandhills, Da- vidson, and Rowan. It was the be- ginning of an undefeated record that propelled Wilkes into the tin- als with Wilkes out-scoring their opponents 48-16. The initial Wilkes run was scored by right center fielder, Dickie Schock, from second base as pitcher, David Prim doubled to center field in the third inning. David Prim scored on a single by second baseman, Shawn Dun- can. Third base power hitter, Terry Church, led off the fourth inning with a driving triple as Wilkes scored another run on a Wayne Macemore single. Catcher, Faron Jester, scored the final Wilkes run in the top of the sixth when he reached base on a single to be driven in by Terry Church's double to left center field. Coach, Herman Norman, de- scribed his championship team this way, they were a group of young men who worked harder, sacrificed more, and achieved their goal. These players put pride and pettiness aside and accepted their individual roles for the good of the team. He added, part of these did not make this year's starting line-up, others were moved to different positions, but they never lost sight of their goal, a state championship. Waiting for the ball, pitcher David Prim covers a base to force opposing runners out to ensure a 4-0 victory over Davidson Community College. Members of the 1986 state championship team were Johnny Triplett, Jody Weather- 3 man, Greg Sisk, Scott Caudle, Kent Car- , ter, David Prim, Shawn Duncan, Wayne i Macemore, Faron Jester, Eric Watts, Jeff Wallace, Andy Parker, Robby Matthews, Dickie Schock, Terry Church, and Coach Herman Norman. SOFTBA LL f Wrestling Team Takes On Four Year Schools 51 TO 3 VICTORY O ER GUILFORD Former Starmount High School Coach, Herman Norman, formed a team consisting of many local high school wrestlers along with some highly recruited out- side wrestlers. Coach Norman's team competed in a schedule which appeared to be over the lev- el of a two year community col- lege. The likes of which were Da- vidson College, Winston-Salem State University, Gardner-Webb College, and Washington and Lee in Lexington, Virginia. Coach Norman explained we did have a schedule which was over our head. However, you only get better by competing against opponents who are better than you. Starting line-up changes were made from match to match. The heavy weight class especially con- tinued to be a toss-up. The team had no mishaps as they started off an exciting sea- son. They attended three tourna- ments early in the season at Bar- ber Scotia, Pembroke State, and Elon College. The tournaments proved to be a valuable learning experience. Beginning a successful season with a 51-3 win over Guilford made taking defeats from teams like Furman easier to swallow. Success was not lead by Coach Norman alone, as the team elect- ed tri-captains for more leader- ship. Tri-captains Dwayne Little, Craig Hutchens, and Bobby Har- less directed each match as they met the identified referees and flipped for starting positions. What goals did Norman have for the wrestling program at WCC? I wanted to see Wilkes Community College become a place where local wrestlers could go wrestle and get a good educa- tion. Their education will follow them their entire lives. Our wres- tling program offered high school students an experienced place of wrestling. They competed in pres- tigious tournaments against big- narne schools. If they are good enough, the four year schools will pick them up. Many of the bigger schools will not even look at a stu- dent unless he is from Pennsylva- nia, New Jersey, or New York. I wanted to give the kids south of the Mason-Dixon line a chance to competef' Andy Parker works vigorously to break free frirn the clutches of an eagar David- son op onent in hopes of walking away with a ictory that will aid his team in winning the match.

Suddenly, there are more places to go, things to do, freedoms, and activities. But among the various social distractions, we cannot forget the real reason we are here - academics. The academic life of our students is filled with the best teachers, students, and diversity possible. The aspiring student can choose from three main categories in education: College Transfer, Technical, and Vocational. Within those three choices lie a vary- ing range of courses the student may take. The College Transfer student may choose to receive their degrees as an associate in Arts, Associate in Fine Arts, Associate in Science, or Asso- ciate in Pre-Computer Science before the decision to transfer to a senior institution. Many students find that completing one of these programs is a valuable experience before moving on the pursue their major. Through this choice, students are enrolled in gener- al college courses needed for the oc- cupation they plan to achieve. The students involved in Technology may receive their Associate in Applied Science degree. This is achieved through courses in fields such as Building Construction Technology, Criminal Justice, Business Adminis- tration, Electronics Technology, Die- sel and Equipment Technology, Hor- ticulture, Industrial Management, Nursing Education, Office Occupa- - ACADEMICS tions, Accounting, Business Comput- er Programming, Eariy Childhood Associates, Electromechanical Tech- nology, Hotel and Restaurant Man- agement, Postal Service Technology, and Social Services. The objective of these programs is employment after receiving the two year degree. The vocational students choose a one-year program in a vocation they plan to pursue upon graduation. These in- clude Automotive Body Repair, Automotive Mechanics, Food Service Specialist, General Office Technol- ogy Specialty, Industrial Mechanics, Medical Assisting, and Radio and Television Broadcasting. All courses are divided into various departments. They consist of Applied Science fl-Engineering and Horticul- turejg Occupational Trans- portation Clviechanicsjg the Human- ities fReligion and Languagejg Hu- man Servicesg Fine Arts fMusic and Theaterjg Continuing Education fService and Industry Advancementjg and the self explanatory, Business, and the Mathematics and Science departments. The choices toward which academ- ic road the student may take are var- ied, but allow all individuals to achieve the type of education they desire. Academicaiiy at WCC, you can't go wrong. . . .

As cold snows melted, frozen grounds thawed and enticing warm weather arrived, restless minds be- came prevalent across the campus. Afternooons in- creased the intensity of the excitement as studying and sun- shine became an in- tegral part of the col- lege life. Improvements of the campus complet- ed earlier were justi- fied by the raging spring fever. The beauty of the Japa- nese Gardens radiat- ed to its on lookers giving boundless vitality. The premature summer sun put the now indispensable tennis courts into business with tennis lessons for beginners and tennis matches for the more ad- vanced players. Advisor of yearbook Dr. .Io Hendrix and pro- fessional photographer from Olan Mills, Mr. Lanney Pigg, complete a full day of compiling personnel pictures for the yearbook. Limitations within the classroom walls were subdued by wandering minds planning for summer vaca- tions. Plans for life after graduation were idealized for a future career or for degrees on the university level. However, all visions of fall were quickly replaced with summer fantasies. Farewells and good wishes were ex- changed between students and friends. Administrators, di- rectors, chairper- sons, faculty, and staff looked on ahead for the soon to come fall quarter. A year in review of 1986-87 quickly flooded susceptible minds during the fi- nal moments. With a feeling of achieve- ment and a renewed sense of self-esteem, students closed out a special year knowing they would always remember - the year of being different. . . .

The cover was designed by the 1986-87 yearbook advisor and editors during August 1986, when the staff began their work at a work- shop at UNC, Chapel Hill. Artist that perfected the de- sign was Debbie Bryant from the Josten Company. The theme Why Not Be Different? was created by the yearbook advisor and editors at the workshop they attended in Chapel Hill. The organization of the book was different from all previous years and every ef- fort was made to improve and create a yearbook ev- eryone would be proud of. The representative from the yearbook company was Mr. Harry Thomas from Greensboro, N.C. The rep- resentative in the plant at Clarksville was Mr. John Wood of Tennessee. The copy for the year- book was eight, ten, and twelve point times Roman print. Headlines were thirty- six and eighteen point. Photographs were taken by Cougar photographers with the exception of some that were furnished by the college's Public Information Department, The Journal Patriot, and Personnel Con- stituents.
