I AM SARAH
This is my baptismal name.
And I am gay, as you know, Lord.
Essentially I am a person created in your image
God. I am also a sojourner, a pilgrim, a runner,
and one who wishes to be free but still belong to
a community.
I never liked masks, yet have felt forced at times
to wear them. I have lived in two different parts
of life, seemingly split down the middle of my
being. Let my naked face now be seen by others
as it is seen by you, Lord. Let me look upon the
naked faces of others in all their created beauty,
and not upon fabricated, complex, painted masks
that obscure truth.
Let me move closer into wholeness, and help
others to do the same, as I openly share the
fullness of my being. Why should any part of my
life be witheld from communication with others or
treated in a secret or shadowy way? For I am
warmly and happily grateful for joy and love, and
the unfettered sharing of these in your wondrous
world.
I thank you with all my heart for my creation and
wholeness, God.

If the character of the West Georgia Soccer Club member In his
1978 season had to be summed up in one word, it would have to
be determination.
Broken down statistically for the fall of 1978, each member
invested approximately 136 hours of his time and $37.00
from his wallet, excluding liquid refreshments. He saw
1,780 miles of pavement pass before his eyes, as he
ventured to such exotic metropolises as Gadsden and
Gunthersville, Alabama, to name a few.
Despite the hardships that required each member to
buy his own uniform and pay all transportation costs
for away games, the combined roster for fall and spring
seasons averaged 26 players.
133
The record for both seasons was 13 - 17-2, not
to shabby when one considers the limited budget
and such formidable opponents as the
Universities of Georgia, Florida, and Alabama (at
Tuscaloosa), NCAA-member Toccoa Falls College,
1978 GIAC soccer champions Berry College, as
well as Tri-City Select, one of the top Division I
Atlanta soccer league clubs.
The West Georgia Soccer Club exercises a club
concept, in which each member that shows up for a
game is guaranteed some playing time. However, as
the growth of soccer as a major sport becomes more
widespread in the United States, Coach Chico Moss
foresees a more competitive attitude on the horizon.
134
Some individual personalities that shone
throughout the season were 1978 co-captains
John "Totta" Green, Mark Roland, amd Tom "Big
Foot" Callahan, a.k.a. "The Gobbler". Other
seniors were Mike Cahalan, Scott Allen, Tim
Dugan, Jim Mellote and Mike "Wally" Boyd.
-^

''^y''^
Returning veterans included Rico Moss, Scotty Chestnut,
Toby Franklin, Bill O'Brien, Michael Flinn, Chris Sellin,
Frank Ingui, Paul Rintye, Don Rose and Steve Harrison.
Some outstanding rookies bringing fresh talent to the
club were Bill Denio, Ricky Pearson, and Duncan
MacNeil, to name a few. The club continued under the
leadership of Faculty Advisor Dr. Dave Dugan and
Player/Coach Robert "Chico" Moss.

SUPPORTING THE FUTURE , . . . TODAY I
During the past 28 years. South-
wire Company has hired hundreds of
young men and women from colleges
and universities spanning the nation.
Among these are a considerable number
of graduates of West Georgia College, a
veritable wealth of creative talent.
These WGC graduates now work
in almost every phase of Southwire's
operations from management to
metallurgy, finance to foreign languages,
employment to economic. At Southwire,
West Georgia grads serve in communi-
cations, purchasing, sales, and research
and development. Many have bache-
lor's degrees, and an equal number have
obtained master's degrees.
It is through the constant supply
of fresh ideas furnished by the gradu-
ates of cur colleges that Southwire
Company has continued its remarkable
growth in the past two decades. Because
of this, we strongly support our educa-
tional system as the basis of successful
private enterprise and constantly
search for keen professionals to fill
available jobs.
Pictured here are a sampling of
West Georgia College graduates now
working in various capacities through-
out the company.

For refreshments and relaxation, the students go to The Long Branch
Saloon. There is live entertainment and a selection of good food. After hours
of study or work it is nice to listen to music, chat with friends, sip a long
drink, eat a bite, or just unwind.
The Long Branch should be your favorite club!

A small group of untrained students were asked by
members of the faculty and administration to put
together a yearbook to end all yearbooks. The
Chieftain itself was at stake. If this book is not one of
top quality, we were told, there will never be another
one. So we set out to do our best; our best is done.
Most of you have never met me or the members of
my staff, yet we feel we know each of you. Why?
Because in this yearbook we have photographed and
written about a small part of what is now your past.
We feel certain that everyone of you will find a
picture or group of words in this book that will touch
a part of your life. If we are wrong then we have
failed; we are not wrong.
Putting together this yearbook is the hardest thing
that we have ever done. We could not have done it
without each other, our advisors, our publishing
representative and the people from our past who
helped to make us what we are. As Editor in Chief of
the 1979 Chieftain, I feel that each of these people
deserves a personal vote of thanks.
Stan Bridges whose liberal ideas helped to keep the Chieftain from becoming just another yearbook.
Linda Handyside whose extra work as layout editor helped to give this book its excellent design.
Martha Witcher whose creative eye gave our pictures a special touch.
Lori Burroughs whose choice of words helped us to get our points across.
Curtis Cox, Bob Owens, Mark Harris, Alan Beatty, Stan Bridges and Doug Brannon whose excellent work as a
photography team gave us exceptional pictures to choose from.
Mr. Bruce Bobick whose concern helped to get us started.
Dr. William Doxey whose strong will and helping hands kept us together.
Mr. Ross Henderson whose advice as a Publishing Representative compensated for my lack of experience, and Mrs.
Winkie Greenhaw whose voice from my past echoes the vital qualities of strength, guidance and self-reliance through
every day of my life.
