Mrs, Vincent to Head Alumni

for 1965-66

The Annual Meeting of the National
Alumni Association of Oglethorpe Col-
lege was recently held on campus. In
attendance for the annual event were
some 300 persons from 21 states and
one foreign country.

Presiding over the meeting in the
auditorium was E. P. Jones, Alumni
President. The annual fund report for
the Forward Oglethorpe Program was
presented by Francis S. Key. He re-
ported the total donations at date to be
$17,979, an increase of $2,066 over
the amount of this time last year.

Following the progress report, Jones
recognized Oglethorpe administrators
James E. Findlay, Dr. George C.
Seward, and Garland F. Pinholster and
Stormy Petrel editors in attendance.

In a poll of "Who came the further-
est??" alumni stood up from Illinois,
Florida, Connecticut, Ohio, and Mexi-
co. Mrs. Liz Mathieu Frias from Mexi-
co City was recognized as the alumnus
who traveled the furthest for the an-
nual events.

SCIENCE OGLETHORPE

"This next item should have hap-
pened many years ago," said the
alumni president in his introduction of
Chip Mobley, president of the new
Science Oglethorpe program.

Mobley noted that Science Ogle-
thorpe was organized on the day fol-
lowing Alumni Day 1964. Mobley re-
lated that the organization is currently
composed of 40 members, and said,
"So far our most significant accom-
plishment is the publication of the
Science Oglethorpe brochure."

The current projects of the new or-
ganization are the sponsorship of three

science scholarships, aid to the biology
division with raising funds for the Na-
tional Science Foundation grant which
must be matched, and conduction of a
membership drive. Mobley concluded,
"We are off to a good start, but we
need your help."

AWARDS

Plaques were presented to the Class
of 1948 for "providing the largest total
contribution to the Oglethorpe Alma
Mater," and to the Classes of 1929 and
1954 for "providing the largest num-
ber of contributing members to the
Oglethorpe Alma Mater."

In introducing Dr. Paul R. Beall,
Jones referred to the new president as
"... a man who has meant much to
Oglethorpe in a short period of time,
... a man who is best described as
a real sport, and a man who needs no
introduction."

Dr. Beall said, "I cannot tell you
how satisfying and rewarding it is for
myself to be associated with you." He
added, "I am proud of you and think
we are going far together."

Following his greeting, Dr. Beall was
presented with a pair of book-ends on
which were engraved the Oglethorpe

Music Studio to be
Renovated

Harry M. Dobson, assistant pro-
fessor of music at Oglethorpe announc-
es that his music studio is to be com-
pletely revamped this summer. The
improvements will include the addition
of an accoustical ceiling, new cabinets
for books and records, new furniture,
draperies and carpeting. The studio
will also be air-conditioned.

The expenses of the remodeling of
the workshop are being contributed by
Mr. Mills B. Lane, Jr., one of Atlanta's
leading bankers. The gift was secured
by Miss Betsy Primm, a recent gradu-
ate.

Plans for the studio have been drawn
by William Trapnell, an Atlanta inter-
ior decorator. He will oversee the con-
struction and the decorating of the
room. Dobson added that Mr. Trapnel
has graciously donated his services to
the school in order that the consulting
fee might be used to buy records for
the music department.

Approximately $6,500 is to be spent
on the remodeling and construction
will begin shortly.

First Inaugural Ceremonies in Modern

History of 0C Install Dr. Beall as

President

Rev. Fitihugh Legerfon delivers the Charge of office to Dr. Beall

In a ceremony unprecedented in the
modern history of Oglethorpe College,
Dr. Paul R. Beall was formally inaugu-
rated as Oglethorpe's tenth president,
May 15.

Over 650 alumni, students, and
guests present at Oglethorpe's field
house witnessed the inaugural proces-
sion, led by Marshals of the College,
Leo Bilancio and Harry M. Dobson.

Following the marshals in order of
procession were members of Ogle-
thorpe's Senior Class and faculty, del-
egates from 156 colleges and univer-
sities and 30 learned societies, trustees
of the college, and the inaugural party.

Following the invocation, given by
The Rev. Father Michael A. Morris,
the combined choruses of Oglethorpe
and St. Martin-in-the-Fields Episcopal
Church sang "Go and Subdue."

Robert L. Foreman, chairman of
Oglethorpe's trustees, who presided,
recognized official representatives of
the inaugural party.

Frank Hughes, president of Ogle-
thorpe's student body, welcomed those
present at the inauguration and said,
"Dr. Beall, in the short period he has
been among us, has already taken great
strides toward the building of stronger

and more effective ties between the
students, and the faculty and adminis-
tration. I know that I speak for all stu-
dents when I state that I am certain
Dr. Beall's administration will continue
to be fruitful in providing the finest
liberal arts education possible for the
students of the College."

"We are convinced," said E. P.
Jones, president of Oglethorpe's Alum-
ni Association, "we have in Dr. Beall
the quality of leadership that will make
Oglethorpe a growing institution."

"We are happy to join forces with
you in promoting through the educa-
tion of the next generation all of those
great unfinished items of business on
the agenda of civilization . . .," said
Dr. George C. Seward, Dean of the
College speaking for the faculty and
added, "Success in this endeavor is
dependent upon cooperation between
administration and faculty . . . We
pledge to you our support and coopera-
tion in the achievement of our mutual
goals."

Dr. Donald C. Agnew, speaking in
behalf of former presidents at Ogle-
thorpe, said Dr. Beall has "all my very
good wishes and I'm sure, the good
wishes and congratulations of those
who preceded me at Oglethorpe."

The Flying Petrel

Fitzhugh Legerton, Minister of the
Oglethorpe Presbyterian Church ad-
ministered the charge, Dr. Beall replied
that he would try to move Oglethorpe
forward "with all my heart, with all my
strength and energies ..."

Foreman completed the installation
of Dr. Beall, and a prayer by Rev.
Legerton followed.

In Dr. BeaH's response as president
of Oglethorpe, he stated, "I appreciate
the honor you have bestowed upon me
today, but I am mindful that honors
carry obligations . . ."

He commented, "As educators, we
have an awesome responsibility to dis-
cover new knowledge and equally a
responsibility to inspire, teach and gen-
erate such wisdom that that knowledge
may be beneficially employed."

"We must educate and inspire the
men and women who tomorrow must
meet and solve problems already with
us today."

The audience sang Oglethorpe's
Alma Mater after Dr. Beall's response
and Hans Erman, Jewish Educational
Bureau director, gave the benediction.

Following the recessional, official
representatives and guests were invited
to attend a buffet luncheon in Ogle-
thorpe's quadrangle.

(greeting from \5ne
President

Greetings:

The year 1965-66 promises to be the
best year that Oglethorpe College has
ever known.

Dr. Paul Beall is moving forward at
a rapid pace with many plans and he
is a real stem winder.

The National Alumni Association
of Oglethorpe College certainly sup-
ports Dr. Beall in every way and we
want to move forward with the College.

The Inauguration and Alumni Day
was a huge success and those of you
who had to miss all of the festivities
really missed something to be remem-
bered.

It is my plan to give the very best
that I have to the progress of the Na-
tional Alumni Association of Ogle-
thorpe College and for the Forward
Oglethorpe campaign.

Inaugural Assembly

Dr. Reser Chosen for Overseas Program

Dr. Richard M. Reser, professor of
sociology, has announced that he will
be on leave next year from Oglethorpe
College. Dr. Reser will take part in an
overseas faculty program, the Euro-
pean Theater, under the direction of
the University of Maryland.

Under this program, Dr. Reser said
that faculty volunteers are "assigned
to teach classes held at over 100 mili-
tary institutions throughout Europe."
Dr. Reser is one of the two teachers
who has been appointed to the Euro-
pean Theater to teach sociology on a
full-time basis. In addition, approxi-
mately 25 instructors will teach on a
part-time basis.

The European Theater is one of the
three programs (Atlantic, Asiatic, and
European Theaters) which are primari-
ly designed for teaching military per-
sonnel at military bases throughout the
world, said Dr. Reser.

DEPARTURE

Dr. and Mrs Reser plan to leave for
Europe around the middle of July or
August. Dr. Reser said if he and his
wife leave during the middle of July
they will have the opportunity to tour
Europe for a month. If not, they plan
to report on Heidelberg, Germany, cen-
tral headquarters of the European
Theater, August 28.

The Resers will fly to Europe by
either "commercial or military" plane.
They will take a car in Heidelberg,
Germany, as soon as they arrive. Dr.
Reser added that he would have mili-
tary privileges but not military rank.
"The educational advisor at each base
makes available accommodations and
apartments. We will probably live off
the base," said Dr. Reser.

CLASSES

"Classes start on September 12," Dr.
Reser said. I will teach four night
classes a week. "We teach in one place
for eight weeks, and then we are moved
to another area. There is a 10-day
break between each eight week ses-
sion." Dr. Reser added that he did not
know in which areas of Europe he
would be teaching as the teaching as-
signments depend upon registration.

"This trip will be a tremendously
valuable experience, particularly in my
field of anthropology and sociology,
studying various cultures of Europe,"
stated Dr. JAeser. "This will be an ideal
chance to study the sociology of the
military in peacetime."

Dr. Reser said he and his wife are
"very enthusiastic" about this trip. He
added that this will be his first trip to
Europe, although he has been to every
other continent in the world.

Oglethorpe Sports

Basketballs in July? The familiar
sound of rubber against hardwood is
very much in evidence during the
month of July as Coach Garland Pin-
holster conducts his sixth annual
basketball camp.

The first weekly session drew a full
house with 72 male basketballers and
60 girl cheerleaders reporting. The
second and third weeks feature boys'
and girls' basketball and baton twirling.

Several familiar faces are among the
instructors assisting Coach Pinholster.
They are: Morris Mitchell, '63, who
coaches at Pope Pius X in DeKalb
County; Wayne Dobbs, '61, who is the
cage mentor at Belmont College in

Nashville, and Coach Pat Stephens, '59
of Druid Hills High School. Current
Petrel players Bill Garrigan, Doug
Alexander, and Walker Heard fill out
the instruction team.

Three high school teams invaded the
camp en masse. Cullman (Ala.) High,
Baylor Prep from Chattanooga, and
North Hardin High from Vine Grove,
Ky. are the schools being represented.

Coach Leon Braddock of North
Hardin paid the Petrel's Pinholster a
real compliment recently in the Ken-
tucky press. He said: "We had three
summer camps definitely in mind. We
selected Oglethorpe's camp over
Georgetown and N. C. State because

Miss Killan elected
to AWRT

Margaret Kilian '30 program director
of Station WABE in Atlanta, has been
elected for a two-year term as a direc-
tor-at-large of the American Women in
Radio and Television, Inc. at a con-
vention held in New York City this
past spring.

Miss Kilian is also president of the
President's Council in Atlanta, a group
of 30 leaders of professional women's
organizations.

of Coach Pinholster's apparent ap-
proach to teaching fundamentals. I am
informed that Pinholster is one of the
outstanding fundamentalists in the
coaching ranks." A great slap on the
back for the Wheel's Wagonmaster,
since the N. S. State camp has a pro-
prietor named Everett Case, the man
who probably has done more than any-
one to bring big-time collegiate basket-
ball to the South.

Basketball recruiting is just about
over and Coach Pinholster reports that
several outstanding athletes have
signed grant-in-aid pacts with Ogle-
thorpe. A prize catch was Earl Blair,
a 6-2 guard from Elizabethtown, Ky.
whose potential is ranked by Pinholster
and Co. to be along the lines of Tom
Norwood, '62.

To quote Pinholster: "Earl's tre-
mendous ability coupled with a high
IQ means that he should gain a posi-
tion of leadership and play a lot of ball
during his freshman year."

Blair's high school coach, Hardin
McLane says that Earl is a real coach
on the floor and saves a ball club many
time outs. McLane flatly stated that
Blair had more cage savvy than any
player he has ever coached. Fans will
remember Elizabethtown Catholic as
the school which also produced Jimbo
Hartlage, '65.

Blair was heartily sought by Army,
a good indication of the lad's scholas-
tic abilities.

Another strapping 6-1 guard named
Jim Hoggarth is also in the Petrel fold.
Jim hails from Nashville, Tennessee,
where he matriculated at DuPont High
School, which had a 26-3 record this
past cage season. Jim will also boost
Bill Carter's Petrel baseballers. He
was a catcher at DuPont. Scholas-
tically, Jim is also a thoroughbred
he ranked fourth in his senior class of
130.

Summer 1965

Filling out the guard posts among
the new recruits are 6-1 Ronnie
Clevenger from Alexandria, Va., and
Brown High School's Jerry Lee who
also stands an inch over six feet.

The frontcourtmen are BIG! Three
of the men up front hail from Illinois.
Centers Al Smith, 6-5 from Danville
and Mike Dahl, 6-5 from Libertyville
and Forward J. P. Bruzek, 6-5, from
Lamont were all Illinois high schoolers.
Tallest of the new recruits is Center
Paul O'Shields who towers at 6-7 and
calls Pickens, S. C, home. One-inch
shorter from Fayetteville, N. Y., is for-
ward Tom Thomas.

Remember, some of these boys are
possibly still growing!
