year's bicentennial theme. It was also decided to try something new in laying out the double-page spreads. A change was made in design from the horizontal to a vertical, or

city skyline,look. Another change was to have the various sections of the book introduced by chapter page rather than by using "the double-page approach, which is almost universally found in yearbooks.

We hope that these changes will prove interesting and that they will make theL976 Hack uniquely different. Historians should note that the events are indicated by month and date only since the yearbook covers the events in 1975 from January L through December 31. Photographic identifica-

tion is always read from left to right unless otherwise indicated.

Benefits come

with

involvements "Keep moving-life is a blast." Activities motivated students to motivate themselves and others. With a comingling of student and faculty minds the girls kept everyone huppy, interested and busy. There were traditional, sponsored activities such as dads day, the Christmas dance and the president's ball. The perfect way for students to benefit was getting involved. Many details arose to organize behind the scenes of all the activities. The girls did a marvelous job and kept other students participating and interested. Posters had to be made, people contacted, details finalized and students notified. All this effort took womanpower. Teamwork, such as needed here, created a loyalty and friendship which was unshakable. The girls set out to make the year interesting and with a little help from friends, it become more than interesting, it was exciting.

Reflecting on their years at college the girls take the final step toward graduation. Reeves for Centenary's 100th commencement exercises. May 17.

is the scene

Open road beckons graduates Sharing the memories of the past and the anticipations of the future, the graduates approached the day of commencement. It was the open road to new encounters and experiences, new places and new people. What the future held in store was a mystery, but the past was a vivid mernory. They were abouf' to leave the place that had been home for the past years and the friends that had shared those years with them. As they marched in the recessional past the proud, smiling faces of the parents and relatives gathered, it was a memorable clos-

Activities solidify friendships Sorority life brought with new friends and new experiences. To introduce the freshmen to this new adventure, each sorority presented its concept of sorority life on skit night and invited them to see a closer side of it with

open house. Once decided, rushing

began and the fun started till that last night when the relieved

freshmen were tapped for the soror-

ity of their choice. From then on it was all fun, including the

excitement of the intersorority ball and all the other activities throughout the year. But sororities accomplished more than this. They brought close friendships, a feeling of belonging and unity and a chance for a young woman to be herself. 2f

Works of art cultivate eye and heart Exhibitions in the Ferry Art Gallery by visiting artists not only enhanced cultural life but pro-

vided a method of study and learning for art students and others. Professional shows appeared monthly and offered students and the general public the chance to observe the work and perhaps to meet the artist at the

opening reception. The exhibitions offered an opportunity for enrichment by bringing different expressions and styles to the campus. Susan Buzzell visits Patricia B. Hornafius'watercolor exhibition in Ferry Art Gallery. The show included still lifes, nudes and landscapes. January 12-February 14.

develop

self-discipline Were the possibilities for reading, 'riting and ,rithmetic ever exhausted? As long as there were enthusiastic and spongelike minds there would always be somewhere to put them to use. Genius and creativity for future business ventures and the betterment of the world were developed in the searching, wandering and self-discipline associated with classroom situations. Many girls leaving college would join the world of business in some capacity-a world competitive and not always friendly. Therefore a friendly competitive classroom atmosphere gave the girls a strength and confidence in themselves. Some girls would be continuing their educations. They would have the solid background of education to fall back upon when they went on*ird. The relationship between students and students and students and teachers were very special, an exchange of knowledge, a learning experience for everyone concerned. The instructors met and came to know many different kinds of girls from all over the world, and the girls got to know their teachers and learned how to suivive in mature academic situations. Academically speaking, college life was very exciting. It took young teenie-boppers and developed in them a more mature outlook on life.

New bachelor's offered Centenary introduced a fouryear bachelor of arts program in early childhood education and elementary education this fall. "The new bachelor's program is a logical extension of the two-year program in early childhood education in existence since 1933," Dr. Edward W. Seay, president of the college, said.

Centenary now offers two teacher training programs-the twoyear associate in arts to prepare group teachers in nursery school and the four-year bachelor of arts

to prepare lead teachers in

nursery schools and elementary teachers in kindergarten through grade eight. Having two education programs provides flexibility to meet increasing demands for group and lead teachers in nursery schools. 47

The faculty voted the program for

The new program is designed to solve the problem of the holder of a Centenary associate in arts degree who finds that for various reasons she cannot complete requirements for a bachelor's degree on a single campus. In cooperation with an adviser at Centenary she may participate in the general

studies program and take her courses on one or more campuses near her home. 52

College returnees

revitali zed Part-time student population continued to grow at the college from a beginning of 4 three years ago to a group of gS this year. Some of the part timers give their reasons for returning to college. "Now that the kids are almost grown, I don't want to sit at home like a vegetable. Being back in school gives me a new vitality." Betty Jane Cartabona, of Califon, married part-time student, hit the essence of the situation. College develops the person no matter what lifestyle she follows. For the young freshman it may be the first time away from home, or at least a new type of learning experience. Married parttime students are women who already have the responsibility of a home, husband and children to care for. They're budgeting the time they have to devote to a college career around an already demanding job of running a household.

These *ot

i"r, must

have

great drive. One might assume that

when the children have finally grown up, mother would be overjoyed at the chance to relax and do nothing for a while. But, no, for years they've stretched time to its utmost among children, chores and husbands and now they feel the need to be constantly on their toes. 56

Imagine, after classes, going home, dusting furniture, cooking dinner, shopping for food, washing clothes, etc. and still having time for homework! Rhoda Weintraub of Morris Plains, who has two small children aged s and 7 and is back in school after nine years, commented, "My home comes first. My husband is a doctor and can't always babysit when I have homework to do. I find it difficult to find time for it but it makes life interesting." Josephine Dodt of Sparta, whose children are almost completely grown, said, "l have a busy schedule, there's dust under the beds and on top of the bookcase, but I manage." Does school life carry over into home life?

Betty Jane talks about her day in school every night at the dinner table. "I find that I can really relate with my sons about sociology and other subjects we take in school, although I'm sure my poor husband must be bored stiff ." Josephine finds that her kids are more open about their grades since she's in the same predicament.

Search committee to find a replacement for Dr. Edward W. Seay, retiring president of the college, has been appointed by Robert W. Vey of Sparta, president of the board of trustees. Mr. Vey said that President Seay would be a hard act to follow. "For 28 years his name has been synonymous with the college. Dr. Seay is Mr. Centenary," he said. "His tenure has been the third longest of any other president of an institution of higher learning in the United States." The search committee consisted of alumni, administration, faculty, students and trustees.

Sports produce a special

kind of unity Girls unified by team spirit and long hours of practice went on to compete in intercollegiate sports. Tenuous ties, made among strangers, the first few days in the gym or stable, grew to the mutual respect and knowledge of teammates by the time serious competitions began. Learning techniques and then practicing strategies became a serious business but brought the girls to a better understanding of their sport and each other. Team spirit was developed among young women, who were no longer high school girls, and a sense of fair play and good sportsmanship. Hours of practice and sore muscles had their just reward in the anticipation and satisfaction of competitive games. The girls participated in interdorm competitions for the fun of it a,nd dorm spirit. However interdorm tournaments were good practice for competitions with Lafayette, Lehigh, Princeton, Drew and other colleges. The excitement and hypersensitivity of the teams were brightened not only by the advent of new opponents but by the recognition and support offered by those on the sidelines. Cheering, screaming and shouting added to the air of active tension, participation and excitement felt by everyone. It was a memorable time space that no one would ever forget.
