I if- « CRUSADER 1986 iX ' illiam Carey Coll jiattiesburg, MS V olume 31 iditor Terri Kai Assistant Editor Zopy Editor Cy sponsor Bekke Carey: e all have them. They are the natural outgrowths of our hopes and dreams, what we have been, what we are now, and what we hope to be. Expectations are often grand and far-reaching. Yet, they are usually satisfied in the smallest ways: a shared moment oi touching, a note ot earnestly -played music, a handshake of congratulations, a laughter- inspiring performance . . . the list could Through Greek mythology, we learn that Pandora opened her box and released sorrow and misfortune to make their ways into the world. However, she is most remembered for freeing hope from that same box. The gifts of the gods to Pandora became eternal. Thousands of years after the ancient Greeks worshipped the Olympic gods and the gods chose to bestow upon them the gifts of Pandora, we are still acquainted with the contents of her box. Sorrow and misfortune — we all have dealt with them. They have holds on our lives as surely as they had on those of the Greeks. Hope is found in our expectations as Christians. We expect to succeed, to feel joy, to experience tomorrow after today. Hope is the deciding factor in overcoming misfortune and sadness. Hope can be found in the faces of the students of William Carey College. Great expectations — we all have them. They are the natural outgrowth of our hopes and dreams. A Generation of Great Expectations ombining expectations and realistic plans — this is the purpose of college students. Many worlds merge together in the college experience; including the academic, the religious and the social. Dreams and visions of greatness are found in every facet of life, but the most universal vision of the college student is academic success. It is the one dream that reaches into the future and determines the extent to which we can succeed in life. We are given certain things upon which to build our futures, some of which are talents to develop, weaknesses to improve, emotions to define, and strengths to clarify. Many tasks are performed to perfect the base materials with which we begin. Every day brings any number of large or small tools we use to shape our inner selves. But, how much of the shaping of ourselves do we control? How much of our success is determined by our original gifts and how much of it do we determine in our shaping of those gifts? At William Carey College, we are given many things upon which to build our expectations. When we become students of the college, we inherit its traditions of Christian faith, educational achievement, and visions of greater tomorrows. May our individual dreams of excellence propel us toward the future in following the tradition of the future vision of William Carey College. 4 Theme Theme 5 hances — we are all given chances to resolve the courses or our lives. In the midst or unhappiness, we are given the chance to choose happiness. When faced with I misfortune, we have hope to help us fight back. In expecting great things, we are often given mediocre ones. But, we have the chance to produce greatness from mediocrity. As students, we are not always offered everything we need for fulfillment. Needs exist which can only be filled by the initiation of the persons who understand them best. Initiation, innovation, and diligent work are excellent tools to use in satisfying a need. One facet of learning in the college experience is developing the ability to clarify an expectation and then bringing it to a realistic level from which one can begin trying to achieve it. At William Carey College, we are given the chance to define our expectations and work to reach them. If we see a need— for social sclubs, for Christian alternatives, for better food— we are given the opportunity to organize and plan to correct the need. We are supported by the administration and faculty as innovators, and in this way we learn to have higher expectations for our futures beyond college. We learn that our dreams and visions can be reached. Great expectations— we all have them. Students Excel in Socializing Great Fun After Hours Social Magnetism. Each Carey Student expects it. From registration to gradu- ation, all campus gatherings were an ex- cuse for socializing. Every student had his preference. Social club members played on or off campus. Under the aus- pices of these clubs, even young scholars cast aside their books long enough to discover mirth and members of the op- posite sex. Sports enthusiasts bussed the southeast in search of referees to bait and victories to cheer. Back on campus, students greeted the touring Beach - boys with whoops of recognition, flow- ery prints and sunscreened noses. For those who were more interested in smell- ing and tast ing than in seeing or being seen. Pizza parties and ice cream gather- ings were all consuming activities. When all other options were exhausted students took to the streets in pursuit of the winner ' s share in a S.G.A. road rally. Maps were confusing for some, but all made it back to campus safely. Student life at Carey was never the same, but it was never dull. And it always added up to great fun. 8 Student Life Student Life 9 Summer Fun Begins the Fall Semester It was a busy week. S.G.A. drew out the island instinct of every student at its Welcome Back Paradise Party. The na- tives donned leis and feasted on island fare of fruits and nuts. Steve Knight was caught parading proudly in a grass origi- nal from the Caribbean. Papa Doc and Baby Doc Noonkester bleached their hair and gyrated admirably in true beach tradition. The B.S.U. welcomed back the students with a Howdy Doody Party featuring red-hot cheese dip and the equally hot red boots of Miss Kitty herself, Kelly Provost. The first week called most students to Broadacres Cinema for free movie night to see a late summer favorite, The Ad- ventures of Pee-Wee Herman. Gamma Chi and Pi Omega made a joint effort at the end of the week to bring a bit of jolly old cheer with an old-fa- shioned Christmas in August Party in Crawford Hall. Saturday morning, everyone packed up to Lake Sehoy for a day of picnics, padd - leboats, and golf-course racing. Many people fought a sweaty battle over the volleyball net while others fought to grasp the talent of kayaking. The first week of school ended with sun- burns, tired muscles , and citations mixed with a return to the classroom. Lj 1 H kJ 1 ft Vf .y47 M ! % Jndi 10 First Week ■i B W H First Week 11 12 Religious Activities Religious Activities — At the Heart of Things Students strived to meet religious expectations through activities sponsored by various organizations on campus. The ReUgious Activity Center, symbolically located in the heart of the campus, provided a focus for growth. In chapel meetings held in Smith Auditorium, students and faculty shared in devotion and praise by participating in worship. The Baptist Student Union encouraged students to minister to one another and benefit from the wisdom offered by speakers, among them local clergymen and seminary faculty. The opportunities in B.S.U. were various and included volunteer student missions during spring break, back yard bible club, noondays and retreats to different locations. Though B.S.U. was the most active religious organization, several other groups testified to diversity of religious expectations on campus. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes brought together athletes to share their faith with one another. Evangelicals for Social Action met twice a week to discuss the application of the teachings and ethics of Jesus to current social and morale problems. The Inner Christian Fellowship gave opportunity to all Christians, regardless of their doctrinal beliefs, to express their unity through special services recognizing Advent and Lent. Religious Activities 13 Halloween 14 Halloween BEWILDERED, BEWITCHED, BEDECKED, BEDRENCHED, ex- pecting the unexpected. If you have been at Carey during Halloween week, you know the meaning of these words. This year ' s activities as Casper the friendly ghost, alluring as snow Whit Raggedy Ann appeared in the most unlikely places. nd quaint as In the Cafeteria, campus Ghouls, Goblins and Gargoyles feasted on Count David ' s eerie concoctions. Pumpkins were knived and stabbed into the shape of prize winning Jack-O-Lanterns. The Halloween Carnival, which concluded the week, traditionally offers students and faculty a chance to be weird and mischievous without fear of receiving a citation. Highlights included a faculty dunking booth (Bekke was all wet), a cheerleader auction, Kerstin ' s cobwebs punch and lots of unexpected baptisms. Halloween 15 Comet Portends Natural Disasters and Glorious ' Look! It ' s Halley ' s Comet! Students were not so absorbed in research papers, rush parties and bas- ketball that they found no time to observe the world around them. But usually it was only the more spectacular events that attracted their notice. Some actually saw the comet or at least heard that its arrival portends natural disasters or glorious tri- umphs. The year had both. In February the space shuttle exploded and a nation ' s expectations sank. In Mexico, an earthquake shattered the dreams of a metropolis. In Ethiopia, people ' s hopes, and bodies, starved. Closer to home, Hurricane Elena battered our own Coast Campus in the midst of an ambi- tious building project. The local news portrayed an equally catastrophic event, the conviction of a fed- eral judge on perjury charges. At times it seemed as if hopes were made to be dashed. But, as is so often the case, whether the year ' s news was good or bad was in the eye of the reporter. In a year of optimism, students, like other Americans, found a silver lining. Encouraged by a determined president, the nation affirmed its faith in space exploration and in the shuttle program. No one doubted that the frontier of space would continue to recede. Mexico and Ethiopia received unprec- edented aid from concerned rock stars, church members and, yes, college students. Consequently, the despair of two nations turned slowly to hope. Carey, meanwhile, found its own reasons for pride. Rising from the rubble, the Coast Campus was rebuilt, thanks to the assistance of student volun- teers, Robert Stutz and a one -million dollar insur- ance check. At year ' s end, everyone, including the judge, had reason to appeal to a bright and expec- tant future. Details at 10. Current Events 17 Madrigal Dinner Merrie Olde England Revived 1 ...JK V Ji m P y 1 Hk . KiiTm ■ K W m ■ ill f JW H ill H 1 18 Guests must not stuff their mouths. The Glutton who eats with haste, if he is addressed, rarely answers thee. This was one of the rules of etiquette that guests were expected to follow at the 8th annual Madrigal Dinner presented by the Winters School of Music. The Dinner was a group effort requiring all music students to participate not only in singing and catering but in building sets and making costumes. Madrigal singing, brought to England from Italy in the six- teenth century, was at first an informal type of private enter- tainment following the evening meal. Frequently, the lords and ladies performed the music them- selves as they sat at dinner. Naturally, during the twelve days of the Christmas Season, there was much singing of the Madri- gals. People from the community turned out for this year ' s re- enactment of this festive event. The night included strolling minstrels, dancers, performances by the Handbell ensemble, harpists, and harpsichordists, and a concert by the Royal Madrigal Singers. With each sound of the trumpet fanfare, guests discovered a Christmas as celebrated in the Ancient traditions of Merrie Olde England. Madrigal Dinner 19 Pandas and Pledges Create Gamma Chi Gamma Chi Social Club began its first year of existence with several outstanding activities, including hosting the state re- presentative from the National Organization for Women. Gamma Chi, whose motto is Achievement is the highway to success, also helped sponsor a luncheon for Nina McLemore, a New York fashion executive, who spoke on the achieve- ments of women in business. The club ' s Graces Seminar gave campus women a chance to experiment with make-up, hair styles, and confidence tactics. The club held a tux -and -evening -gown dinner affair in Ocean Springs in December and held several rush parties in January, including a tacky party, a Paul B.Johnson cookout, and a Panda luncheon. Basketball season brought a particular might of spirit for Gamma Chi when they wall-papered the gym with signs dur- ing play-offs and won the spirit -stick for their efforts to back the Saders. rx 20 Social Clubs Social Clubs 21 Phi Alpha on the Move Phi Alpha Sigma sponsored a chartered bus to the Springhill on Homecoming day, bringing seventy -five runners to the basketball game and to the Belhaven game for all students, campus to participate. | They fought hard on the intramural football field and then • held a Holiday Celebration in collaboration with their fraternal During baseball season, the Phi Alpha ' s grilled steaks beside cohorts, Pi Beta Sigma. the field in support of a home game.

Pi Omega Social Club began its first year of organization with a campus -wide Fall Frolic and picnic on the Intramural Field. The Pi O ' s and their big brothers also enjoyed a hayride and cook -out at Paul B.Johnson State Park during the early fall ' s cool weather. In October, the club co- hosted a luncheon featuring Nina McLemore of New York City. Fund -raisers for the ye ar included garage sales each semester and an ironing service to help campus males appear neater. Spring semester kicked off with a very successful Rush Week. Pledges were treated to a treasure hunt, pizza and pajama night, and a Coca -cola party, and were formally introduced to the qualities of Pi Omega. | Highlighting the year was a formal dinner cruise on the Cre- ole Queen riverboat in New Orleans during the spring semes- ter. A Last Lecture Series gave Dr. Milton Wheeler and Mrs. Grace Smith an opportunity to speak on their recent world travels. To end a busy year, the club formally initiated its pledges, and appreciated its sponsor at a cookout. | n a 24 Social Clubs 11 -jaSPi i: wm et Social Clubs 25 Pi Beta ' s Take it Ea sy Pi Beta Sigma gained a reputation on campus as the laid back men ' s social club perhaps in an attempt to distinguish them- selves from their brother organization of a similar name. The fruits of this strategy did not ripen in the fall semester when, like the other men ' s social club, they participated in intramural football and co- sponsored a Holiday Celebration, the latter becoming a code word for fun on campus. Second semester brought activities that set them apart, including a cookout at Paul B., a visit to a local convalescent home, and a crawfish boil at the last home baseball game. When the crawfish ar- rived, so did the Pi Betas, in the heart, mind and stomach of the student body. 26 Pi Beta Sigma Pi Beta Sigma 27 Great Expectations: from Theory to Practice What is clinical ? . . . Clinical is practice ! It focuses on the application of concepts that are taught in the classroom setting. It involves caring for individuals with acute and chronic illnesses. The focus of care is on the individual as well as the family, and he she is viewed holistically. The students are able to deliver primary, secondary and tertiary care. The preparation for clinical involves utilizing the nurs- ing process to develop a plan of care, identifying with the pathophysiology of the patients diagnosis and writing medication cards. Various settings in the City of New Or- leans are utilized for the clinical rotations. The clinical rotations fe-performed in the community as well as in the hospital setting. 28 New Orleans New Orleans 29 A Nurse . . . worships communicates, Studies, Socializes 30 New Orleans . . . teaches Contemplates and relaxes.

After long semesters of hard work, professional growth, and achieved goals, this pin is the welcomed reward of Great Expectations. It is worn by the nurse, from graduation on, as they practice professional nursing. Pinning 32 New Orleans Exercises Awards Another treasured memory of precommencement exercises is that time when outstanding students receive special awards. Awards are presented to students by the faculty. To receive an award the recipient will have met specific standards beyond those expected of all students. Students in turn present to an out- standing faculty member, a teacher of the year award. This teacher, must also have met standards beyond those expected of all faculty. New Orleans 33 Prospective Student Day Carey on the Coast Holds Open House High School students reacted well to Sader Search on the Hattiesburg and Coast Campuses. William Carey on the coast had a weekend jammed full of activities as the Carey Prospective Student Day on the coast took off. Local high school students, as well as a large group of Carey students participated in the various events. The week- end started with a party on the beach with a bonfire and food. On Saturday participants bicycled and ran in the Pepsi -spon- sored bi-athalon. Trophies were awarded by Dr. Noonkester that afternoon. For those who didn ' t feel like running, volley- ball games were played and the pool was open for swimming and sunbathing. Pi Omega social club volunteered their ser- vices as hot dog vendors. 34 Coast Coast 35 36 Homecoming Alumni Come Home O ' Quinn Reigns over Homecoming Activities. Homecoming Day, February 15, 1986 brought many mature faces back to the campus they once called home. Phi Alpha Sigma kicked off the day with its annual 5 kilometer run and concluded with a basketball game between the Crusaders and Louisiana College. Intermediate activities included an Alumni luncheon and Old timers basketball games for men and wom- en. At half time of the men ' s game against Louisiana College, President Noonkester crowned senior Suzanne O ' Quinn as the 1986 Homecoming Queen. Homecoming 37 American Primitive Home Front „_. „- j m Carey Dinner Theatre Stagestruck: Unsung Cole and Classics, Toe Miss Carey Pageant | Barnes Named Miss Carey On March 20 in Smith Auditorium of the Thomas Fine Arts Center, Kymberly Barnes, a sophomore psychology major, was named Miss William Carey College. Kym presented a vocal selection titled No Matter What Happens for the talent portion of the competition. She was crowned by last year ' s Miss Carey, Debbie Berman, who also entertained at the pageant. Lori Parker was named first alternate to Miss William Carey College. She performed a vocal selection for the talent judging. Second alternate was Mary Garcia, a Carey on the Coast student who performed a jazz ballet. Cindy Henderson was named third alternate. She performed a vocal selection for the talent portion of the competition. The pageant, a preliminary to the Miss America pageant was directed by Diane Jamison and Bekke Ray. The seven contestants competed in evening gown, talent, swimsuit, and interview for scholarships totaling over $1,900 and the opportunity to represent William Carey at the Miss Mississippi pageant in Vicksburg. 42 Pageant eant 43 Honeycutt Leads Honored 196 Receive Degrees 44 Graduation ... awarding you all the rights and privileges which through- out our world pertain to this degree. Some seniors had waited longer than others for May 10. But when a friendly voice called out that special graduate ' s name, the years of struggle and doubt were forgotten. Parents beamed, graduates preened, and the faculty, thanks to floodlights and the annual sabotage of the air conditioning, sweated. Some two hundred graduates received degrees ranging from the world ' s oldest, the Bachelor of Arts, to the youngest if not the highest, the Specialist in Education. Dr. Roy Honeycutt, president of Southern Seminary, received an honorary doctor of letters degree. The ceremony was shorter than usual because of an innovative method of presenting diplomas suggested by an astute administrator. A reception at the President ' s Home preceded the commencement and, gobbling and guzzling all of the available food and drink in an hour, the class of ' 86 proved that its zest for life had not been diminished by the experience of college or the expectation of future hardship in a place known forebodingly but happily as the real world. Graduation 45 Honors Honors result from the achievement of great expectations, and have become the rule more than the exception for those associated with William Carey College. Throughout the year, honors were dreamed of, worked toward and given out, and a sense of Crusader pride flowed as we saw fellow classmates honored in academics, athletics, and leadership. We knew our capabilities and were not hesitant to surpass even ourselves. Outstanding students were honored by academic departments and by the administration for excellences in various endeavors; students honored each other in campus elections; and, in turn, students honored faculty members for teachings that reached beyond classroom walls. So important was recognition for achievements that all three campuses set aside days to honor their own late in the spring semester. We knew we were special; Honors Day certified it. The hard work finally paid off. We had achieved our greatest expectations. Great Expectations . . . We all have them. 46 Organizations t 48 Dedication A Dedication about Dedication The 1986 Crusader Honors Grace and Gaston Smith The theme and form of this tribute are identical. It is a dedica- tion about dedication. The two people to whom it is addressed have demonstrated that commitment leads to the realization of great expectations. They have done so through their loyalty to a college, a family, and each other. It is impossible to imagine William Carey College without Grace and Gaston Smith. As associate professor of English and chairman of the Department of Mathematics, mother and father, wife and husband, they are ideal faculty members for a Christian liberal arts college. During an era when others have stalked the latest academic fad, inflated grades in order to attract students and fled the campus when their classes have ended, the Smiths have upheld a greater standard. Amid con- fusion, they have kept their hopes — and ours — alive. They have taught students to appreciate the words, images, and ideas of Shakespeare and Milton. They have conveyed the satisfaction that results from using differential calculus to find the rate of acceleration of an object. They have expected not only academic excellence from their students but personal integrity too. By their diligence in the classroom and on several productive committees, they have challenged their colleagues to remember why William Carey College exists. Thus have the Smiths taught us to learn. So also have they taught us to love. Their dedication as parents has been inspira- tional. It has enabled them to balance professional responsibil- ity with affection for their loved ones. They have often sacri- ficed time, energy, money, and sleep, but never has their pride in their two fine children, Joy and Bill, wavered. To a genera- tion uncertain about its commitment to familial values, they offer a telling sermon, not of words but of deeds. Similar as their lives are, however, the genuine beauty of the Smiths ' relationship is found in the blending of their distinc- tive personalities. Who among her students has not comment- ed about the sweetness of Mrs. Grace Smith.? That label encompasses numerous attributes— her congenial manner, her patience with even the most inept or dilatory of students, her smile, and her regard for the beauty of language. Though he is the less demonstrative of the two. Dr. Gaston Smith has repaid all those who have engaged him with compassion, a mathema- tician ' s ability to find solutions to problems, an outspoken concern for excellence and a sense of humor poised for am- bush. That two people of different disciplines and tempera- ments could unite in such a happy marriage confirms the effect that the ultimate form of dedication, love, has had on their lives. It is now our opportunity to return the favor by offering an emblem of our love and respect. In the spirit of expectation which they have taught us to cherish, we dedicate the 1986 Crusader to Dr. and Mrs. Gaston Smith. Dedication 49 Few attractions bring as much honor and distinction to Wil- liam Carey College as the Sarah E. Gillespie Art Gallery. Located on the second floor of the Fairchild Administrative Center on the Coast Campus, the Gallery was formally dedi- cated this fall in ceremonies held to honor the founder and benefactress of its collection, Miss Sarah E. Gillespie. Miss Gillespie discovered and purchased many fascinating and valuable paintings and stored them in her Hattiesburg home until her interest in Carey motivated her to donate them to the College, where they could be properly stored and displayed. Art Treasures Gillespie Gallery Dedicated The collection includes examples of the work of several im- portant southern artists, among them Walter Anderson and Marie Hull. The Gallery Complex consists of an extensive display area with a view of the beach, storage space for paint- ings and studio and office space for the Department of Art. The occasion of the dedication was a time of fellowship for Carey faculty and staff from all three campuses. They gathered on the Coast for an outdoor dinner and recreation, in a fitting end to a day of celebration of the fruits of human achieve- ment. 50 Honors rF lilSfeajr - : S0 :..- i j Honors 51 Mr. and Miss wcc Suzanne O ' Quinn Steve Sexton 52 Honors Honors 53 Freshmen Donis Fleming Keith Dickerson Hattiesburg Class Sophomores Lori Parker Allen Cooley 54 Honors Favorites Juniors Donna Hancock Braxton Grumpier Seniors Kim Bell Marcus McNeil Honors 55 Juniors Mr. David Lawrence Mrs. Bernie Cullen School of Nursing Class favorites Seniors Mr. Eric Williams Miss Sandra Schneider IN 56 Honors School of Nursing Beauties and Beaus Juniors Mr. Michael Harmon Miss Penny McClue Seniors Mr. Ernest Johnson Miss J ' Aimee Welch Honors 57 Hattiesburg Beauties and Beaus Kym Barnes Sharon Coker Jeff Floyd 58 Honors Penni Brown Niccole Clark Matt Jones Honors 59 Beauties and Beaus Linda Mabius Cindi Pierce Jody Ray 60 Honors Scott Martin Suzanne O ' Quinn Shannon Robert Brett Valentine Honors 61 Campus Favorites Francis Stewart Chris Montecino Mr. and Miss Carey on the Coast Andy Rowell Mary E.

Because of the foresight of student leaders, several clubs appeared on campus for the first time. Chief among them were four social clubs, two for men, two for women, but all dedicated to the proposition that socializing is for everyone. The contributions made by these organizations transcended their memberships and touched other students and the general public through campus and community projects. Other, more seasoned organizations re- fused to be left behind. They joined the social clubs in a campus consensus that proclaimed . . . Great Expectations . . . We all have them! 64 Organizations P ' m Fellowship Fellowship of Christian Athletes Afro- American Culture Society Wrestling Club Several campus organizations promoted identification and camaraderie in the midst of a diverse student body. Through Bible studies and witnessing the Fellowship of Christian Athletes maintained high physical and spiritual ideals. The Afro- American Culture Soci- ety was not content with the human re- sources on campus but invited local Headstart students to Smith Auditorium for a special program, The Caravan of Love. Not to be outdone by other orga- nizations, the Wrestling Club fostered an unusual measure of contact between its members. 66 Organizations Organizations 67 Missions Ministerial Association Baptist Student Union The Ministerial Association, an organi- zation of pastors and others in church - related professions, provided its mem- bers with practical religious experience. Churches in the community allowed MA members to come into their congre- gations to apply their knowledge of the - ology. During MA meetings, guest speakers from the community and var- ious seminaries discussed missions and pastoral duties. The association ' s nurs- ing home ministry took members to people in need of their comfort and in- struction. As usual, the BSU led in the promotion of religious activities on campus. In the fall, the Howdy Party welcomed stu- dents back to school and provided the BSU Executive Council with an oppor- tunity to introduce themselves to the student body. The BSU also sponsored various forms of entertainment includ- ing concerts, a winter retreat, and spiritu- al emphasis week. Members demonstrat- ed the fruits of their faith through visits to nursing homes and participation in Noonday meetings. The highlights of the year were the home and foreign mis- sions fund raising events which helped the campus to reach its goal of $3300. 68 Organizations Organizations 69 School The William Carey School of Business was busy all year organizing the first Ac - counting Club at our school. The group was concerned with setting up activities for the following year, but not so much that they didn ' t have plenty of activities of their own. Speakers from the state Auditors and the Internal Revenue Ser- vice were on campus, compliments of the Accounting Club. Members worked of Business Accounting Club Phi Beta Lambda in the Volunteer income tax assistants program (VITA) and aided people in fill- ing out forms. Phi Beta Lambda sponsored their share of guest speakers including a representa- tive from the Southern Company. The Business Fraternity also participated in the state conference in Jackson. 70 Organizations i Organizations 71 Honors Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Freshman Sophomore Honors Junior Senior Honors Delta Omicron The Freshman Sophomore Honors group maintained its scholarly schedule of TIME magazine study in the fall 1985 semester in three bi-weekly meetings. In the spring of 1986, it hosted Rabbi Da- vid Ostrich of the B ' Nai Israel Temple for a stimulating discussion of Judaism. Harry Baxter, of First Mississippi Na- tional Bank, led the honors students through the world of business in a dis- cussion of advertising and marketing skills. The Junior Seniors Honors Program emphasized individual study throughout the year, as each student prepared a re- search project for presentation to the faculty. The students met before Chrismtas break for a visit to residents of a local nursing home. Dr. Darlene Wheeler and her husband gathered the groups once more for an end-of-the-year cook-out at their home. Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, a national hon- orary music fraternity for men, contin- ued its tradition of gourmet cooking at the Halloween Carnival, making funnel - cakes a big success. Delta Omircron, a national honorary music fraternity for women, impressed everyone with its well organized spon- sorship of the fall and spring talent shows. They met for an annual Christ- mas party, including Christmas caroling. 72 Organi2ations Organizations 73 Leadership Alpha Chi Campus Presidents Omicron Delta Kappa The highest scholastic membership of William Carey College is that of Alpha Chi, an honorary scholastic fraternity. Its members are scholarly leaders in their respective fields, including music, chem- istry, and Biblical studies. Omicron Del- ta Kappa is a national honorary leader- ship society made up of campus leaders from varied disciplines. Its members are chosen through nominations of the soci- ety on the basis of their outstanding con- tributions to academics and extracurri- cular activities. A formal initiation ceremony is held in the spring of each year for newly -tapped members, who join the distinguished laurel circle of Omicron Delta Kappa. This year, O.D.K. had one of its largest member- ships ever at Carey. The organization of Campus Presidents met every two weeks to solidify the plans and goals of each club. Led by President Noonkester, S.G.A. President Brett Valentine and Vice- President Jody Ray, they expressed needs for improvement and points of satisfaction within individual groups. These leaders also coordinated efforts to provide unified opportunities for Carey students. 74 Organizations i 61 f Organizations 75 The Pre -Law Club continued its tradi- tion of extra-curricular activities with a trip to the state legislature, where mem- bers observed the workings of Mississip- pi politics. Noteworthy was the courtesy of Representative J.B. Van Slyke, an ad- junct faculty member when not serving in the legislature or practicing law. En- couraging law school recruiters made their annual visits and were generally im- pressed by the appearance and inquisi- tiveness of the Carey pre -lawyers. English majors and minors participating in Lambda Iota Tau gathered for a Janu- ary dinner at Mrs. Grace Smith ' s house along with several faculty members. Liberal Arts Pre-Law Lambda Iota Tau Psychology Club Critical papers on literary topics were read by new initiates and were then dis- cussed by the group. LIT met once again at the close of the spring semester to give several students an opportunity to complete requirements for initiation to one of the largest LIT memberships since its installment at Carey. The Psychology Club entertained the students of EUisviUe State School at its annual Easter Egg Hunt on the Carey Campus. The psychology majors were able to apply their skills in working with the EUisviUe students, who at the same time were given a delightful Easter out- ing. 76 Organizations Organizations 77 Green Science has always been populat- ed by men and women in lab coats. Ex- perimentation is their forte and better living rhough science is their goal. Some have hopes of medical school. Others want to be technicians in hospitals. All share in the aspiration to improve the Science Pre-Med Chi Beta Phi Med-Tech Lives of other people. Through member- ship in organizations such as the Pre- Med Club, Chi Beta Phi, a national sci- ence honorary, and the Med -Tech Club, science students learned to appreciate their discipline during the year. 78 Organizations Organizations 79 The Winters School of Music was con- stantly buzzing with activity as well as with music. It ' s not surprising when one considers that the school harbors four vocal ensembles. The Chapel choir, which is an audition group, toured area churches in the fall, then joined the Cho- rale in the spring for a tour to Florida which involved the entire school of Mu- School of Music Chapel Choir Chorale Church Musicians The singing groups wound up the year with a performance The True Story of Cinderella . The students, when not struggling to memorize music, were busy studying for classes in the School of Music. The As- sociation of Church Musicians were ac- tively learning to apply the rules of good music to the ideals of a good church service. so Organizations Organizations 81 School of Music Carpenters Wood Handbell Ensemble Music Therapy Carpenters Wood, an audition group not made up solely of Music majors and minors, visited various state churches as well as going on an out-of-state tour in the late spring. The group sang contem- pory Christian music and adopted the phrase, Rocking for the Rock . Carey ' s handbell ensemble performed in Chapel, area churches and at the Madri- gal Dinner. The group traveled to the coast for the state handbell contest and brought home straight superiors. Music Therapy students were busy pe- rusing text books while meeting require- ments for practicum sessions and NAMT. 82 Organizations 6 0 Organizations 83 Carey Student Nurses Association The Carey Student Nurses ' Association is a subsystem of the National Student Nurses ' Association, the largest independent student organization in the United States. The Association gives nursing students a professional edge. NSNA publishes IMPRINT, a journal with articles by and about nursing stu- dents. NSNA also monitors all legislation in Washington relevant to nursing and nursing education. They also send members to testify before the congressional committees. De- signed by NSNA members the BILL OF RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES FOR STUDENTS OF NURSING is widely accepted by Schools of Nursing across the country. The NSNA 1986 annual convention was held in New Orleans and provided a rewarding experience for CSNA and faculty. Students Learn Professionalism on Both Campuses CSNA on the Hattiesburg campus promot- ed professionalism among freshmen and sophomore pre -nursing majors. Speakers from Army and Air Force ROTC programs were utilized in career information meet- ings, and a trip to the New Orleans campus brought the end results closer to home. Campus-wide participation included an en- try in the Homecoming Parade and spon- soring the Haunted House for the Hallow- een Carnival. Operating under The Expanded Role of the Professional Nurse, the New Orleans CSNA invited Masters -degreed nurses to share their thoughts on the role of nurse s, on education, and on the future of nursing. The club also supported Southern Baptist Hospital in New Orleans with their annual Health Fair. Students participated as well as supervised areas such as blood pressure screening, height and weight, and dietary counseling. Such activities allowed stu- dents to utilize assessment and communi- cation skills. 84 Organizations Student Government Association New Orleans ADVENTURES OF THE YEAR WITH SGA ... The Student Government Association in the School of Nursing operated in similar fashion to that of the Hattiesburg and Coast campuses by providing extra- curricular activities and adventures for its students. Highlighted activities included a Back -to -School Ha- waiian Luau and a Holiday Pot -Luck Lunch for the children from the Saint Vincent ' s Home. Spring Semester began with pizza, pizza, and more pizza. The Welcome Back Party following Christmas Break was a deliciously fun success. In February, the SGA followed New Orleans Mardi Gras tradition by having King Cake Breaks each Monday before Gener- al Assembly. March brought out the Luck of the Irish with a Saint Patrick ' s Day Party. April showers precipitated the cancellation of the Sec- ond Annual Student Faculty Picnic. At the Junior Senior Banquet, both students and faculty performed skits, roasting one another. As the last great adventure of the year, the Pinning and Awards ceremony hon- ored student leaders, and scholars. Organizations 85 William Carey College might not have had a printing press handy, but publica- tions were still seen on campus. The Cobbler, which was the campus newspaper, kept students as well as fac- ulty and staff members up on the latest happenings in the school. The Cobbler covered sporting events, timely speakers and opportunities for students to ex- press their views on various current is- sues. Publications Cobbler Staff Crusader Staff The Crusader staff worked all year on Carey ' s Annual to create a book full of memorable happenings and people cov- ering the events from the first week of school all the way through commence- ment exercises in May. Both groups started out with fresh and excited staffs. Some members were even excited enough to work on both staffs. 86 Organizations t1 • M { 1 A ' M L ii % ' j.

Inter-Christian Fellowship Evangelicals for Social Action Two campus religious organizations demonstrated during the year that in my Father ' s house there are many man- sions. The Inter -Christian Fellowship promoted dialogue between members of different Christian denominations by sponsoring advent services featuring Fa- ther David Niemeyer.

All fuUtime students at William Carey are members of S.G.A. It is the purpose of S.G.A. to both hear and voice the students ' opin- ions, complaints, and ideas to the faculty and staff of William Carey College. The S.G.A. provides extracurricular activities such as free video and pizza nights. By doing such activities as these, the S.G.A. wishes to make each year at William Carey better than the one before.

The Depart- ment produced the Carey Dinner The- atre in the summer, a fall production, a childrens ' play and a spring production along with several student directed one- act plays. The Serampore Players, an organization made up of Theatre as well as non- the- atre majors traditionally raises money by participating in the Halloween Carnival, and Christmas card competition, which this year ' s entry, The Night Before Theatre Serampore Players Alpha Psi Omega Christmas took first place. The money is used to finance the Annual Christmas Dinner and Awards Dinner given every spring to recognized outstanding stu- dents in the field. Alpha Psi Omega is an honorary Theatre Fraternity that is made up solely of The - atre majors who have been formally in- vited to join. The organization itself is covert about its activities but has sent pictures of performances to the National Alpha Psi Omega Playbill and have been published there. 92 Organizations U.S. and Foreign Affairs Internationals Young Republicans In the ebb and flow of history, some groups ride the crest of a popular wave and others are dashed on the rocks of time. Two groups on campus exper- ienced such fates this year. Encouraged by the new traditionalism espoused by everyone from Ronald Reagan to Alex Keaton, college Republicans went back to the future and reactiviated their orga- nization. Club members seemed uncer- tain of this year ' s activities but were con- fident they would be done in good taste. While the Republicans thrived, Interna- tionals worried about a strong dollar, cheap oil and a resulting inability to pay for a college education in the United States. Though their numbers dwindled, however, the Internationals continued to offer other students exposure to new cultural ideas and were a source of stiff academic competition, particularly in science and mathematics courses. The fellowship of International Students pro- vided its members with the fortitude to withstand future academic and econom- 94 Organizations H. i_iai .ik lMHI HMBMflS ■ ma -d i B H i H flP HInnflwr vHlr llF « V T H 1H ' W BHiai r u f 1 j )|4 , M H ' fcxlfe-.- gft H ' wlipP ' n i H K :% i  H f , tA 4 .

Students and faculty rallied together to support the teams in various endeavors. New Omni -Courts encouraged crowds to watch the impressive tennis team in court action. Yearly suc- cesses in men ' s basketball made the ' Sader games popular events in Hattiesburg, as well as the Lady Crusader games. The baseball team practiced year-round and made the cracking of bats against a ball a familiar sound to fans who eagerly awaited the spring season. Crusader sports fans easily quoted the successful records of the athletes and teams they supported. Carey sportsmen and women expected to win consistently and they fulfilled those expectations. Great expectations ... we all have them. 96 Division   - ' Team Returns to KC This was the journey no one expected the Crusaders to take. Not their fans who dutifully wished them well in New Orleans, or the press, who called them a miracle team, and certainly not the Xavier Gold Rush, who couldn ' t reach for a crying towel after a 79-78 Crusader victory in the District 30 finals; they had packed that too. Not even the travel of- fice at NAIA headquarters in Kansas City expected the Crusaders to be on Flight 360. They booked the Crusaders on an Ozark Airlines flight, non-stop to Memphis with connecting services to Kansas City. But, as in so many cases during the 85-86 season, a major obsta- cle stood in the way of Coach Knight ' s fourth consecutive trip to the national tournament. Ozark does not fly to Mem- phis. After some anxious moments, fi- nancially troubled TWA agreed to hon- or the Ozark reservations and, despite a flight attendants ' strike and one plane that would not fly, conveyed the Crusad - ers to the destination of their dreams, Kansas City ' s Kemper Arena. KC , home of crazy little women, porter- house steaks and raucous basketball fans, greeted the Crusaders warmly. Steaks, ice cream, sights and souvenirs were theirs for the taking. But the cui- sine and the scenery did not draw their attention away from their goal — a first - round victory. In the midst of shooting games, joking and picture -snapping. Coach Knight never let the team forget what HE expected. Game time brought a confrontation with an unknown yet eerily familiar foe. The Univ. of Charles- ton Golden Eagles were seeded second Aboard Flight 360 in the tournament and were favored to defeat the Crusaders. This time there was to be no miracle ending — the Crusad- ers led at half and fought determinedly before losing by 5 — but coaches, players and Kansas City fans knew afterwards that this was a team that had surpassed expectations. Perhaps that is why Coach Knight and his players could do little after the game but talk about prospects for next year, one in which the Crusaders return all of their starters and add several potent newcomers. By then, surpassing expectations will mean winning not only District 30, but a national title too. That may seem like a dream now, but don ' t tell that to this year ' s team because they, after all, were the ones who took Flight 360 and soared as no one had expected.

The students of WCC worked hard in the classroom but they worked just as hard on the sidelines. School spirit was rampant all year focusing on the sport of the season. The leaders of all this spirit were the Carey cheerleaders. Beside cheering at basketball games, the eleven member squad was seen washing cars to raise money for a new mascot uniform. They led students in a pep rally after chapel, bon fires, and a parade during the homecoming weekend. Attendance at basketball games was boosted by the giving away of a spirit stick to the organization that demonstrated its eagerness the loudest for the Saders on the courts. Fans were eager to attend basketball, but they flocked to the baseball and tennis bleachers just as eagerly. The athletic teams were great, but school spirit was equally great.

While the men ' s basketball team was off and run- ning, and the baseball and tennis teams were awaiting spring seasons, the 1986 Lady Saders were building their own successful record. Coached by first-tim- er Katie Eaton, the women ' s squad proved that it too would make it to post- season District 30 play. Faring well against Clinton Gymnasium newcomers such as the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, Mississippi State University, and the University of Alabama at Hunts - ville (coached by a former Lady Sader), the Lady Saders warmed up for District 30 competitions that would begin after Christmas. Even with a pre -holiday re- cord of equal wins and losses, the wom- en ' s club returned to the hard court with high expectations. Suffering a painful on -the -buzzer loss on the Spring Hill court, the red - and - black women set their hearts on winning with an almost venge- ful spirit. Evidenced by final game scores of far spread wins and closely held losses, the Lady Saders became a team to be reckoned with. Victories over Tonga - loo, Belhaven, Dillard, and Spring Hill became feathers in their caps as did near- misses to Xavier and nationally -ranked 1, Louisiana College. The Lady Saders ended their 85-86 seson with an over-all record of 14-12 and a district count of 9- 5. Entering District 30 playoffs in third place, they faced Xavier ' s Gold Nuggets in the Barn. With high hopes and strong determination, Eaton ' s team barely fell to their New Orleans opponent. Know- ing the district was long on strength, the Ladies proudly brought home a third place, and won their way into the record books and the hearts of their fans. 102 Lady Saders Outstanding: Angela Fenton All District 30 All Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Mary McCullon All Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Lady Saders 103 Carey Basketball Crusaders Reload for Championship 4 With a winning reputation to maintain, a three -time District 30 Championship to defend, and a loss of four starters to overcome, the 1986 Crusader basketball team appeared in November to have a tough season ahead of it. Not to be out- done. Coach Steve Knight and his play- ers adopted a We don ' t rebuild, we re- load attitude, and did just that. After early -season road and home wins, the roundballers seemed to be on their way to another victorious season. But, by Christmas break, the spell had been broken by clubs new to the Crusader schedule, and ' Sader fans were as con- fused as ' Sader players about what the final season record would show. Plagued with injuries to key players, close-but-still-distant losses of five points or less, and other mishaps, the team took a much -needed rest during the holiday season to repair for upcom- ing Disctrict 30 games. Although all dis- trict teams were considered of rival sta- tus, Xavier brought red to ' Sader eyes quickest. Difficult but not unbeatable, these opponents were broken down one by one, and when games were aimed for a trophy and a trip to Kansas City, the red -and -black shined true to its reputa- tion. Pre -season predictions took the 1986 Championship away from the Hat- tiesburg team, and by mid -February, sea- son records indicated that as a possibil- ity . Challenged by such. Knight ' s club remained undaunted and relied on Dis- trict play to make the dreams of a Cin- derella team come true. Ranked second at the end of the regular season with a 9- 5 district record, Carey entered final play with optimism and determination to prove themselves. And, when the last round came down to Carey vs. Xavier at The Barn, the Crusaders knew whose moment it was to be. Two season losses to the Gold Rush was enough for any- one, and the gutsy Crusaders went pre- pared to bring home their fourth trophy. Followed by fans, the Cinderella team strategically and powerfully overcame incredible odds that Thursday night and gave its faithful fans a victory, a trophy, a fourth Disctrict 30 Championship and the right to chant KC KC KC. 104 Basketball mm Basketball 105 Carey Basketball Two Receive Area Recognition SEASON RESULTS Record 20-15 MONTEVALLO 70-63 BIRM-SOUTHERN 77-71 ARK-PINE BLUFF 62-60 BELHAVEN 73-65 Miss.

The 1986 Crusader baseball team earned the right to travel to Phoenix, Arizona and the Area II NAIA tournament by winning the District 30 title. But they learned that, like a Gila monster, the hot, dry Arizona air strikes suddenly. When they were not enjoying the comfort of their Holiday Inn, the animals at the zoo, or the tangy flavor of Phoenix ' s Mexican food, they hit the ball hard. Unfortunately, their opponents hit the ball hard- er. In the first game of the double -elimination tournament, the Crusaders, after trailing 6-1, defeated Texas Lutheran 10-9, on Mark Brock ' s grand slam homer in the ninth inning. Their next opponent, the host team Grand Canyon, was more formi- dable, defeating the Crusaders 6-2. The Crusaders then lost a slugfest to Lubbock Christian, 15-11, ending their dream of a trip to the national tournament. Nonetheless, the trip was worth it, for the coaches and players will remember Phoenix not for its losses but for its good times. OUTSTANDING: Steve Benton Larry Knight Rodney Williams James Browe Scott Clifford All District 30 Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Rodney Williams All Area II 108 Phoenix Phoenix 109 In his first season as head coach of the William Carey Crusader baseball team, Bobby Halford guided the team to a 33- 20 overall record, a 14-3 record in Dis- trict 30 and a District 30 championship. The district championship was the ninth in the past twelve years for the Crusad- ers. At the beginning of fall practice, pitching was expected to be the team ' s mainstay but early in the regular spring schedule it became apparent that the Crusaders ' fortunes would depend large- ly on their bats. It is difficult to say how much the warm, dry spring contributed to the resurgence of hitting, which has always been a Carey strong point over the past two decades. But it is certain Carey Baseball Team wins District Championship that it owed much to the powerful wrists and forearms of players like Craig Fletcher (.404), Rusty Phillips (.353), Rodney Williams (.346), Dwayne Pruitt (.342), James Browe (.330) and Mike Summer (.327). The power displayed by Rodney Williams, who led the team in homers and RBI ' s, and Mark Brock, a sweet -swinging freshman who provided several game-winning homers, was equally remarkable. Two other freshman Dennis Butler (.424) and Kevin Shep- herd (.284) made uncommon contribu- tions, primarily in reserve roles. The pitchers were led by Tony Pollizzi, Larry Knight and Steve Benton, who com- bined for an 18-6 record. The season was a long one for the players and coaches since an unprecedented number of games were played on the road against such foes as Miss. State, Delta State and Southwestern Louisiana. It was a reward- ing one, however, for the district cham- pionship brought with it a trip to the NAIA Area II tournam ent in Phoenix, Arizona. Prospects for the next season looked bright. Coach Halford lost only three players off the year ' s team and had said that his only concern was to recruit some speedy newcomers. After Hal- ford ' s first season as head coach, the chances of sending the Crusaders back to the national tournament, which they won in 1969, seem better than ever. no Baseball Baseball 111 Carey Baseball Batting Club Makes it 9 out of 12 112 Baseball SEASON RESULTS Record: 34-22 Vanderbilt 4- 6 WEST FLORIDA 4- 3 West Florida 7- 8 LIVINGSTON 9- 2 LIVINGSTON 6- 5 Miss.

They found multiple ways of expressing their viewpoints and opinions, some of the ways being rather overstated. However, they always expected to be heard by faculty members. When not socializing in the cafete- ria or the dorms, Carey students usually aimed for greater things, in the library, in the classroom, or in club activities. They expected to be noticed at these times also. And they usually were noticed, for success was hard to ignore.

Meeting Expectations 1 In the academic world, perfection is never attained. The best research paper can be improved and if the results are scrutini- zed closely enough the most careful experiment will yield some admixture of error. Carey boasts one student, however, whose academic career has approached perfection as nearly as can be imagined. Kenny Wayne Peavey came to Carey in 1985 to obtain an M.S. in Counseling Psychology. Prior to that time, in high school college and seminary, Kenny made all A ' s. What is more, his range of activities and the breadth of his interests were not narrow as one might expect from such an outstanding student. He studied subjects ranging from micro- biology to Greek and won awards for his proficiency in Eng- lish, math and science. He has recently written a book, A LAYMAN ' S GUIDE TO THEOLOGY, which he hopes to publish in 1987. The title of the book reflects a prominent concern of Kenny ' s life. Seeking spiritual excellence, he has chosen to become a Christian minister, thereby providing a fitting framework for a lifetime of expecting great things. 128 People Mathematical Precision Some professors have office hours. Professor Martin Ehde of the Mathematics Department has office days. Students who have passed Green Science late at night cannot help notic- ing the light in the last window on the second floor. Inside the window the sounds of classi- cal music mingle with the scent of the latest book to attract the professor ' s interest. The music is probably Mozart, the book may con- cern physics or the decline of the Roman Empire, but the occupant of the chair, his reading glasses prominent, has a personality that is unmistakeable. It emerges in his elo- quent prayers, in his curiosity about the world around him, in his dissertations on the joys and pains of coffee-drinking. Professor Ehde appreciates the beauty of excellence in a way that no one but a bachelor could. Yet those who have at- tended various events in the community know that he is not a solitary bachelor, merely one who knows how to blend the good things in life with math- ematical precision so that his ex- pectations of happiness are per- fectly met.

Unlike many people who accumulate civic membership and affiliations without having a serious impact on their communi- ties. Dr. Smith has demonstrated her gift for leadership in aca- demic and religious life. In previous years she has served as state sponsor of the Mississippi Junior Historial Society and on the Board of Directors of the Mississippi Historical Society. This fall, as President of the Episcopal Churchwomen, Diocese of Missis- sippi, she was a delegate to the Triennial Convention of the United States Episcopal Churchwomen. In February, All Saints School in Vicksburg chose her for a three -year term on its Board of Trustees. In the midst of these responsibilities. Dr. Smith has found time to challenge her students, publish research on ante- bellum Mississippi and to supervise the construction of her new home. This year the College recognized the magnitude of Dr. Smith ' s contribution by promoting her from the rank of assistant professor to t f of associate professor. 130 People A Family Car It might not be unusual to see college students buzzing around campus or town in a ' 66 Mustang or some other rare model. But there are not many pro- fessors of theology who dart through their college campuses in ' 56 Studebak- ers. Dr. Dormain Laird of the Biblical Studies Dept. however, does so fre- quently. As a child, he grew up with and became interested in Studebakers be- cause his father sold them. Dr. Laird kept the cars in the family by buying and restoring Studebakers of his own. He now has four and counts them as mem- bers of the family and a reminder of his ancestry. People 131 Education. ROTC Beverly Brannon — Director, Child Development Center Dr. Beth Burchell — Chairman, Department of Education Steve Knight — Men ' s Basketball Coach, Instr. in Physical Education In December the Board of Trustees an- nounced the joining of the Education, Psychology, and Physical Education De- partments to form the School of Educa- tion. The intent of this decision was to encourage more effective training of ele- mentary and secondary teachers and to allow Carey to secure accreditation in this area by the National Accreditation Agency for Teacher Education. Dean of the new school will be Dr. Walter Butler, formerly academic coordinator on the Coast campus. Assistant Dean will be Dr. Beth Burchell. The curriculum for teacher education also underwent revi- sion to be effective in 1986-87, placing more emphasis on content and subject matter. The goal is to produce teachers who possess a depth of knowledge and the skills necessary to teach what they know. Carey is taking the lead in ad- dressing the questions which have con- fronted teacher education during the past decade. Students and faculty are anxiously awaiting the results. 132 People and Physical Education Dr. Beth Richmond— Assist. Prof, of Special Education Cpt. Paul Sweet— ROTC Resident Faculty Dr. Benjamin Waddle— Chairman, Dept. of Physical Education Dr. Darlene Wheeler— Director of CDA, Assist. Prof, of Education Crusader Coaching Club Adds Newest Member Coach Katie Eaton is not as tall as Angela Fenton, does not have Mary McCullum ' s peripheral vision, and lacks Sandy Reynold ' s knack for washing clothes. Yet she has something that is more important. Under- stated and youthful though she is, she has the loyalty and respect of her players and all of Carey ' s basketball fans. Only two years ago. Coach Eaton was a star player at Mississippi University for Women, where she had gone following an outstanding high school career in Taylorsville. After her playing days had ended, it looked as if she were bound for a graduate assistan t- ship at a state university, but the departure of Assistant Coach Sharon Barnes brought her to Carey. A year later when Women ' s Coach Bobby Halford was cho- sen to guide the baseball team, Coach Eaton became Interim Coach of the Lady Saders . The adjective interim was originally added to her title because of her youth and inexperience, but it is a term few people remember. Coach Eaton has demonstrated that strength of character is not always determined by age and experience. She is young enough to understand the problems of her players but calm enough to con- duct herself professionally. Her team reflects her atti- tude. It is young, calm, talented, and getting better daily. Many believe that soon the club of coaching prodiges on the Carey campus will have gained a new member.

Faculty and students have Great Expectations of each other. Faculty reach beyond the traditional roles of class, and practice interaction with each other. Events such as Assem- bly (chapel), Junior Senior Banquet, and Christmas caroling are highlights of faculty and staff participation. 134 People Mrs. Gloria Rowell, Assist.

Prof, of Accounting and Business Administration; Coast James Shivers — Assoc. Prof of Economics and Business Administration Dr. Carol Strickland— Prof, of Business Adminstration A marked emphasis on excellence and flexibility emerged in the School of Business. The infusion of new fac- ulty members, including Dr. Carol Strickland in business education, and Mr. Ted Holt in computer science, insured quality in two vital disci- phnes. Expansion on the Coast cam- pus brought the appointment of Dr. Jerry Morgan, who took charge of the accounting program. The School of Business also demonstrated its will- ingness to accommodate its offerings to the needs of its students and the communities it serves. The Executives on Campus Series remained popular as did a number of night classes which were offered in a special even- ing school designed by Dean F. Ed. Weldon. 136 People Benedict Lives His Homework Any School of Business thrives on com- bining theoretical knowledge with prac- tical insight and perhaps no one in the Carey school of Business does so more effectively than Mr. Quentin Benedict. Prior to coming to Carey, Mr. Benedict was a chemical engineer with the Amer- ada Hess Corporation. His business ca- reer took him to such diverse places as Bakersfield, California and Purvis, Mis- sissippi. Though he has a MBA and a degree in chemical engineering, there can be no doubt that his students have benefited even more from such an ability to relate examples and anecdotes drawn from his own experiences. Moreover, Carey College has been enriched in an unexpected way by Mr. Benedict ' s prac- tical experience in the oil industry. He and his wife, Luella, have been careful managers of the money that they have earned over the years. They have given a substantial portion of that sum to Carey in order to assist the college in its aca- demic and Christian mission. It is diffi- cult to imagine a more potent example of the joining of theory and practice not only in business, but also in Christian living. People 137 School of Music Josephine D ' Arpa — Asst. Prof, of Voice Carylee Hammons — Assoc. Prof, of Music Therapy Winters Tradition It is no accident that the School of Music bears the Winters name, for that name symbolizes the tradi- tion upon which the School has been built. It signi- fies a commitment to excellence in instrumentation and choral singing and a belief that church music ought to promote worship in a solemn, coherent and meaningful way. The continuation of this tradi- tion was assured this year with the appointment of Dr. Eugene Winters to the deanship of the School. The pleasant results of that appointment were im- mediately evident. The year witnessed the most successful Madrigal Dinner ever, a new emphasis on scripturally- based choral worship in Chapel and a well -received Chorale tour of the Southeast. The willingness of students and faculty to raise funds for their projects through a promotional bas- ketball game, Valentine ' s greetings and steak din- ner typified the spirit of cooperation and energy they felt. In some ways this was a year of transition for the School of Music, but in every way it was a year of accomplishment. What else would one expect from such a tradition? 138 People Jeff McLelland— Inst, in Music Dr. Kay Reynolds — Assoc. Prof of Music Ed.

There is a diverse group of students and faculty who benefit from the use of the courts. The game has become a growing interest to Carey Athletes and non ath- letes alike. Neither darkness nor cold weather prevented the game from taking place for the real lovers of the sport. In the Fall, the Good Life Down South Festival brought a tournament to the campus in which many Carey students par- ticipated. Tennis class became a favorite way to meet P.E. requirements, a fact which was evident through the increase in class enrollment. Here ' s to tennis, the game. 140 People Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities Jim Arnold— Ace. Bus. Adm. major. F.C.A. Fresh. Soph honors, Jr. Sr. honors.

As a four-year S.G.A. council member representing commuters, Jannice has been ever-present at pizza parties, ice- cream socials, road rallies and movie nights. She has assisted the S.G.A. com- missioners of entertainment and public- ity and has been much appreciated by the last four S.G.A. presidents for her dedication. Jannice has been a council member the S.G.A. can depend upon to work diligently whenever she is called on, said Brett Valentine, 1985-86 S.G.A. president. Extensive involvement in the B.S.U. for Jannice includes a spring mission trip in 1983 to Washington, D.C., with other B.S.U. ' ers. A faithful supporter of B.S.U. Noondays, she has also been active in local mission projects of the B.S.U A staunch Campus Democrat , Jan- nice is a member of Carey ' s ROTC and the ROTC drill team. The Blair High School graduate comes from a family of distinction. Her father, James Boykins, is the first black su- pervisor of Forrest County. Jannice could be called an honorary cheerleader for her ceaseless spirit at Crusader athletic events. For your great spirit, Jannice, we keep our ex- pectations high for you! 142 Classes Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities Penni Brown, a junior, is a member of the Lady Crusaders Basketball team.

After graduating from Cantonment High School (Fla.) in 1983, Isaac brought his diverse talents to William Carey College to develop. A talented artist from a very young age, he has won many honors in art contests and is a blooming portrait artist. Isaac has also succeeded in the sports field. He held a high jump record in elementary school and played exciting basketball in high school. After three unsuccessful try-outs for the Crusader basketball team, he made the team on the fourth try and is now a starting player. Married to the former Regina Holmes, also a Carey student, Isaac says his wife and one-year-old son encourage him in his endeavors. May this proud Crusader achieve his artistic hopes and dreams. 144 People Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities Laura Broughton— Freshman Sopho- more Honors, Junior Senior Honors, Del- ta Omicron, Alpha Chi, Dean ' s List, and Association of Church Musicians. k ' l ivs: Braxton Crumpler — FCA, Pi Beta Sigma, and Junior Class Favorite.

Many students flocked to the coast and Jackson to see groups like Heart, ZZ Top, Alabama, Loverboy, AC C, Kenny Rogers, and Stevie Nicks. Days were filled with trips to Paul B.Johnson State Park, tennis games, laying out and wouffle ball. Students on the coast walking across the street to the beach while N.O. students went to the French Quarter for beignets and the French Market.

They are the stuff of which dreams are made. They weave their way into our smallest daily tasks and demand satisfaction when confronted at the end of a day. In confronting our expectations at the end of the 1985-86 academic year, we find that we often faced disappointment. Throughout the year, we sometimes hoped for things i) the bright light of morning that remained out of reach. But we awoke again the next morning and vowed t( hope a little harder and work a little harder to reach our goals. There were several satisfying moments during the year when we experienced a feeling of pride in those around us at William Carey College. A nucleus of male students felt a great need for social change for males campus -wide. They formed two fraternities in the fall semester and spearheaded successful activitie throughout the year. The men ' s basketball team dreamed big, played big, and won big in the end. The team made its foruth consecutive trip as District 30 champions, to the national tournament in Kansas City. They have made th« chant, KC! KC! KC!, a natural phenomenon for proud Crusader fans. The Baptist Student Union made its second annual mission trip to Washington, D.C., following the college namesake ' s tradition of widespread missions. They taught Bible stiidies and did maintenance worfe at the Anna Johenning Baptist Center in the city. Omicron Delta Kappa initiated one of its establishment at William Carey College. The prestigious honorar ' leadership society paid tribute to twenty campus leaders with membership in April. Expectations were transformed into reality by industrious students and faculty quite consistently throughout the year. Various factions of the campus succeeded in their individual endeavors to overcome challenges and make new strides in achievement. ' -1 , 176 Them, i.ng Wc Carry On. Theme Ending 177 nd results. Those who have achieved individual expectations are easily identified. Confident of their abilities to think and question, to challenge established theories, and to dare to establish their own, they find their own personifications of success comfortable garments to At William Carey College, self-actuahzed achievers are found in every corner. Included in the achieving group are quiet unassuming scholars who succeed on inner merit; boisterous politicians who succeed on congeniality; diligent workers who achieve in the end through consistent dedication; and leaders who determine successful ends for every project they undertake. Often, the course of one ' s life is determined by a minor incident or chance meeting that reverses one ' s original direction. It takes personal initiative and drive to transform those experiences into successes. True Crusaders are those who determine their own successful fates and make wise use of the means they are giv- en to achieve their ends. May the 1986 Crusader be a record of the lives of those at William Carey College who dared to expect, to dream, and finally, to achieve. 178 Theme Ending Wi f Theme Ending 179 Editor ' s Messages Our namesake, William Carey, tells us that by expecting great things from God, we can at- tempt great things for God. Editing the 1986 Crusader has been an exercise in both. A group of people worked together to produce a book that exemplifies a school full of pride and great dreams. Great expectations made this book pos- sible, for it could only be great if its subjects were. The 1985-86 school year has been one of hope, pride and great expectations. At Carey, we are a family of people who believe in caring about ourselves, our school and the world we live in. These traits have been evidenced throughout this yearbook. It is my sincere wish that each of you relive a special hopeful memory each time you look at your 1986 CRUSADER.
