Just a bunch of dates and people that you memorize for a test and then forget. A class you force yourself to attend because the professor has an unbreakable cut limit. History is more than just that it is an indicator of who we are, where we come from, and where we are going. History is an undeniable part of each of us. We are made of the history of our nation, our people, our family. It is something that we can never escape. Something that intelligent men and women do not want to escape, for it holds the clue to our future and without that clue we will just blunder along In life without purpose or plan. Our national history holds high the tradition of freedom and the promise of equality it is up to each of us to carry on that tradition and to fight for that promise. For unless we do, the work of all of those who have gone before us will be in vain and without purpose. Our individual history shapes both soul and body from the day we are conceived. Our parents and the others who direct our development instill in us attitudes and opinions that will follow us to our graves. It is by their' example that we become what we are, whether we follow in their footsteps or turn away and go the other direction. History will lead us in whatever direction we choose and without its help we will wander aimlessly as children lost in the night. "Lot no. 99, Land District no. 10," were the numbers drawn by Lawrence Richardson of Columbia County in the land lottery of 1825. Later this land was purchased by Thomas Bonner of Clarke County. He immediately engaged Mr. Y. Hendrix to construct a permanent dwelling on the site. In 1861, during the Civil War, several thousand cavalry under General Stone, marched over the road that now fronts the campus. The Bonner family held the land until after the Civil War. The land then became the property of the Sharp family and in 1906 was deeded to the Board of Trustees of the Fourth District Agricultural and Mechanical School. The School, opened, as a boarding school, in 1908. Professor J. H. Melson became the first principal and served for the first thirteen years of the school's life. In 1920, I. S.

Then, by an act of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, the old Fourth District A & M School became West Georgia College, and Dr. Ingram became this institution's first president. When West Georgia College first opened in the fall of 1933, there were approximately 200 students and four buildings, including the Bonner House which remained from plantation days. According to Miss Annie Bell Weaver, the school's first librarian, the three other buildings were the Administration Building, Adamson Hall, and Melson Hall. The first library consisted of 500 books and was housed in a classroom of the Administration Building. In 1937, Sanford Library was built on the lower end of the front campus drive. Mr. J. C. Bonner and Mr. D. M. Braswell established athletics as a part of the West Georgia curriculum. Girls and boys, separately, of course, participated in such sports as tennis, basketball, baseball, Softball, archery, and field hockey. In 1946, a football team was established under Coach Earl Whely. In 1947, the team won the first "Tobacco Bowl" by beating Norman Park in Tifton. The football team was finally dissolved because of the lack of financial assistance for team expenses. In 1939, the college was authorized to add a third year program in order to prepare student's for teaching positions in rural schools. The first decade of real progress came in the years 1935 through 1945. By 1935, the faculty had grown to fifteen members. In 1936, Mandeville Hall was constructed. The establishment of Sanford Library came in 1937. In 1939, the auditorium-gymnasium- dining hall was completed. In 1940, a reading room was added to the library. By 1954, the first Science Building on the campus had been completed. This building also housed the first student lounge. In 1957, West Georgia College became a four-year senior college unit of the University System of Georgia. A Bachelor of Science degree was offered in Elementary Education. Two years later. West Georgia added a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, History, and Mathematics. By 1960, West Georgia had facilities for one thousand students. From 1959 to 1971 West Georgia College was known as one the fastest growing institutions in the South. At that time, West Georgia offered six undergraduate degrees: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Science in Education, and Bachelor of Science in iVledical Technology, with majors in over forty fields. In 1967, the Board of Regents authorized the initiation of a graduate program at the masters level. After this authorization. West Georgia added four graduate degrees: Master of Arts, Master of Business Administration, Master of Education and Master of Science, covering fifteen areas of study. In 1971, the Specialist in Education degree was added. By the end of 1972, West Georgia College's physical facilities had increased in value to more than twenty-four million dollars including over forty structures and over 300 acres of wooded campus. West Georgia College has come a long way in the past forty-five years. It has grown from three small buildings dedicated to education to numerous modern buildings still dedicated to "(p) regressive development of individuals to take their places in and improve society." I 10 ^tsi. 11 ^P*""'' ,.: W' flWforrife ^eforfe .-x "^ ' M T*- "i^-^^. ^n j^^o^s^ "^o those whp will come after Maurice K. Townsend, President 14 "Or Townsend is really doing things right over there," commented a member of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia about Dr. Maurice K. Townsend, who is in his third year as president of West Georgia College. "Doing things right," in the Townsend philosophy of education, includes "sound academic programs that have general as well as practical educational value for students and a viable student activities program that contributes to the quality of campus life." The inky blue Mercedes is parked in the president's slot for long work days and smoke curls upward from the ever-present pipe, as Dr. Townsend makes those intermediate decisions designed to culminate in the superiority of WGC among learning institutions. With typical northern reserve, interpreted by some as aloofness, Dr. Townsend offers few insights into the individual behind the office. To those close to him, he is known to be tough and cool under fire, but understanding when best efforts have produced less than the desired results. Freshly cut roses, zinnias, or camellias which he brings many mornings to Sanford Hall give their colorful evidence of Dr. Townsend's appreciation for the gardens so carefully tended by college groundskeepers. "The house that IS the block," as the president's residence is known, is home to the closely-knit Townsend family of six. Their daily schedules could easily resemble the arrivals and departures at Hartsfield International Airport, with Mrs. Townsend serving as air traffic controller. Since 18 year old Leslie is away at college, Leah, 16, is serving as pilot for herself and the boys, Steven, 14, and Bradley, 12. After-school activities may include drama lessons, midget football practice, and swimming meets. Mrs. Townsend, in addition to formal hostessing duties for the president, is in demand by local organizations for demonstrations of her skill in drying and arranging flowers. She also finds time to serve as a consultant in personnel policies and public relations programs for area hospitals and businesses. Although the demands on Dr. Townsend's time are numerous and the respites few, quiet moments will find him in his favorite chair with one of many books which he purchased that week covering topics ranging from agriculture to zoology. When finished, he donates them to local libraries and high schools, thereby broadening his scope while increasing their collections. 15 )WMW|MMMgMUf. , 17 18 19 20 21 I 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 *^'^':\^^w^4 29 30 31 32 J I look forward to a great future for America, a future in wliich our country will match its military strength with our moral restraint, its wealth with our wisdom, its power with our purpose.

DECEMJ3ER Men's c A L E 1) It 71 J Although the West Georgia College Braves won their last three games of the 1977-78 season and claimed the South Atlantic Conference Tournament Championship, the recently completed season will always by remembered by the players, coaches and fans as "The Year of the Shaft." 72 For some reason or reasons that were under investigation by the NCAA following a formal protest filed by WGC, the Braves were denied a bid to a regional tournament when the final berths were filled by the eight regional chairmen. "It will be a long time before I personally get over what has happened," West Georgia head coach Roger Kaiser said. "And it will be something that our players, especially the seniors, and a few NCAA officials will have to live with for the rest of their lives, but for different reasons. 73 "When all of the facts are known of this entire situation," Kaiser added, "there are going to be a lot of embarrassed people. Our only rectification is that what has happened to us will force the NCAA to make many long overdue changes in its selection process and make doubly sure that they place competent, unbiased people in positions of responsibility and importance." As for the ending of the Braves season. West Georgia tipped it off by ripping Armstrong State 10290 in a tournament first round game played in Carrollton. It was then on to Columbus, Ga. for the semifinals of the SAC playoff and a match with number five nationally ranked Columbus College. 74 The Basketball Braves __^- \ Win, >you still go -to tKe "(Before that game), we told our players that they finally had to put it together, and their only hopes of winning a regional bid were to win the next three games in five days and do it impressively," Kaiser said "It may sound corny, but those kids played their hearts out and played their best basketball of the season. We were really rolling, and I even had flashes of '74 when we got going so good in the playoffs and won the national championship." But because of facts investigated by the NCAA, West Georgia coach Roger Kaiser's telephone did not ring that Sunday night when the regional invitations were issued. 77 Jarvis Reynolds, the leading scorer and rebounder in the SAC, was named to the All-Conference team. Sophomore guard Corky Umstead, a mathematics major, was named the SAC's Academic Athlete of the Year for having the highest grade-point average (3.76 of a possible 4.0) in the league. Following the championship game. West Georgia's Mike Maddox and Lamar Frady were selected to the All-Tournament Team and Reynolds was named the tourney's "Most Outstanding Player." 79 West Georgia finished tlie season 20-8, the school's eighth straight winning season under Kaiser (167-65), and won the SAC Tournament title for the second time in five years. The Braves lose two starters, Jarvis Reynolds and Mike Maddox, but return 6'7" freshman Lamar Frady, 6'5" junior Robert Stanley, and sophomore guard Corky Umstead, all who started down the season stretch, as well as 6'5" Clarence Porch, 6'2" Scott Thomas, and 6'3" Willie Almond who started several games during the season. West Georgia also has a very talented quartet of "redshirts" who are expected to be in very strong contention for starting berths when preseason practice rolls around next October, (from a news release issued by Dan Minish, SID) i 80 1977-1978 West 10 Mike Maddox 12 Corky Umstead 14 Jarvis Reynolds 21 Willie Almond 24 Reggie Tyler 30 Scott Thomas 31 Ben Bunt 32 Clarence Porch 34 Robert Stanley 40 Robert Speight 42 Lamar Frady Danny O'Brien Chip Chandler Jeff Glushakow Dave Pfister Georgia Braves Guard Guard Center Guard-Forward Guard Forward-Guard Forward-Guard Forward Forward Forward-Center Forward-Center Guard Guard Guard Forward 81 Braves Cheerleaders 82 83 V '^ The Bravettes Jan Baker Nita Cooper, Co-Captain Linda Davis Wanda Fannin Barbara Gunter Caria Mines, Captain Annastasia Holcomb Darlene Key Cathy Knox Marcia Murrell Muriel Palmer Kaye Peters Martha Stevenson Rhonda Thomas Deborah Truitt Brenda Webb Angela White Valerie Young 84 1977-1978 Lady Braves Clema Billingsley, Captain Sue Doran Jane Camp Lisa Dunson Ida Mae Huiel Cheryl Jackson Beverly Jones Tina Massengale Debbie Rainey Sharon Stalls Sharon Tate, Captain Sherry Taylor Dot McNabb, Coach Diane Bedford, Asst.

Baseball Braves have remained at the top of the Conference thanks to the determination of the players themselves and the expert guidance of Coach Archie White. Several West Ga. players have found positions In the various major league organizations. 95 ^~-4 And it is written, "All students of West Georgia College shall complete six quarters of physical education." So bowing to a wisdom greater than their own the students of West Georgia College register. They register for archery and badminton, riflery and tennis, swimming and camping. And let us not forget foundations; that greatest of all classes which seeks to inform students of their weaknesses. Many students consider physical education a waste of time and money, especially money. First we must pay to take the I'f^ mm \ i^: ill class and then we must pay student fees, a good portion of which are used to support the Athletic Department of West Georgia College. But the physical education requirement has its purpose and its benefits. Physical education is just as important as the 96 m^A'V' Vin\j'it' T -" education of the mind, perhaps it is even more so. For if we lack a fit body able to withstand the pressures of the modern world, we lack the platform from which the educated mind can face that modern world. Nearly all people enjoy physical activity once they get involved with the activity and are able to see how much fun it is and 4 * ^. i 97 ^^ how much better they feel. But some people just have to be forced into doing things that they think they don't want to do. West Georgia college students have access to one of the most complete facilities for physical activity. Not only is there a gym with numerous backboards for basketball, there is also a heated pool, a weight room, and tennis court. And most of these facilities are open during the week and on the weekend for 98 West Georgia Soccer Club Spring 1977 .V ( f ^'i^ Phil Willingham Mark Graham Scott Riley Tom Callahan Mike Boyd Steve Thurman Scotty Chestnut Rex Rooker Earl Morris Mark Roland Charles "Woody" Wojick Lee Morris Robert Batte "Chico" Moss Victor Carew Tom Sola Totta Greene Jim Jandl Fall 1977 Ronnie "Alkie" Alkire Chris Wilson Abbi Soussi Scott Allen Terry Hudson Ralph Sanders Ricardo Moss Paul Pentye Don Rose Mike Sevedier John Todd Bill O'Brien Doug Dell David Holton Joshua Deltas Dr. David Dugan, Faculty Advisor Over the past two years, participants and observers of the West Georgia Soccer Club have seen the quality of team play grow a great deal as their 13/6/1 1977 annual record reflects. Sustaining this successful season was comradeship on and off the field. Also adding to the improved performance was the resodding of the Club's official home field the track infield. ^f 'f 1^i',f "Wij^lF^^piarfi Recently the Club has built up many contacts, recruiting the cooperation of local and college newspapers and radio stations for publicity purposes. They have also acquired soccer films from major bottling companies on a loan basis, demonstrating offensive, defensive, and goaltending techniques. The Club members continue to bear all expenses for uniforms, equipment, and away trips, indicating a resolve and dedication for the sport. Robert "Chico" Moss attended to coaching duties in the spring of 1977, and plans to do so in the spring of 1978, while the fall Soccer Club was led by John Greene, Dr. Dave Dugan remains as the Club's Faculty Advisor. 101 i Each Season Brings Its Own Highlights . . . . . . to the sport, and 1977 was no exception. The Club traveled to Mobile, Alabama, on an invitation to a soccer tournament highlighting independent clubs and college teams. Although the Club was unable to qualify for the semi-finals, the experience of participation was invaluable. They also had a chance to socialize as a club, driving down in a caravan, sleeping twelve to a motel room, and taking a detour to the Gulf Coast to enjoy the ocean and the beautiful sea breezes.

This victory marked the Club's first win over the Athen's team since the Club's origin in 1968, with a rousing score of 6 to 2. ^ Proving that their hands and feet are equally adept, the Soccer Club formed a Softball team, which participated in 1977 spring competition, qualifying for the intramural championship playoffs. 104 Another achievement for the Club was the lining up of a game with the University of Alabama, another southeastern soccer powerhouse. Although Alabama edged by with a 4 to 3 win, it was not considered a loss by the West Georgia Club who felt pride to have come so close in a tough and competitive match. rf-fWW [IS 105 106 Compliments of Otasco. 9TASC 107 * i*ijj(l(PP*W'W(|P jr-- I SV><^*j 108 ^"^'^i;! 109 110 111 IS'H^' msm > # iMemiii \ Y r '(' %Jli.-^;i 112 113 Kv- ~: phi Wi ff.
