As you pause in life's busy whirl to reminisce, we hope you will turn through these pages and re-live for awhile the hours spent at "dear old Belmont." In the 1959 TOWER we have sought to capture something of the feeling to which we refer so fondly as that "Belmont Spirit." We have tried to present as our theme one hour from our lifespan which will be labeled BELMONT in the years to come. Our hearts have quickened with excitement and ached with sadness as the year 1958-59 slipped from our fingers and splashed these pages with memories. The hour passed quickly, too quickly, but could it have been better spent? You will agree with us, we are sure, that: "One hour of life, crowded to the full with glorious action, and filled with noble risks. is worth whole years of those mean observances of paltry decorum, in which men steal through existence, like sluggish waters through a marsh, without either honor or observation." Sir Walter Scott When the sand has completely run through and the hour is past, may your heart fill with gladness as you review this year's TOWER.

. . . Look to this day! For it is life, the very life of life. In its brief course lie all the varieties and realities of your existence . .. the realities of 8:00 o'clock classes, the varieties of chapel experiences, of a last-minute glance at a textbook before that test ... Look well, therefore, to this day!

To think of the trickling sand which rushes through at the noon hour ... to think of a time. for classwork, a time for a quick lunch in the cafeteria, or a time for a snack, or to think of an hour when all must be done ... to think of noontime at Belmont.

flies, suns rise and shadows fall. Let time go by. Love is forever over all." We found that it was hard to watch the sands spell out the coming night. even while we knew the last grain settling into its appointed place meant the end of the year for us; big things ahead, a lifetime before us.

Perhaps we have learned to see the great. the eternal, and the infinite in everything-in the moments of fun and fellowship, the sweetness of romance, the quietness of a prayer room. If so, then we shall be glad of life, of this one hour of life which gave us the chance to work, to love, to play, and to look up at the stars.

DEDICA

ION

What is our goal, our future, planned to be? Will it not depend. in part, on what we see In those our guides across the quaking lands Of prying intellect on which youth stands? Appreciation is an intangible quality. It can be expressed only through some outward token of word or deed. Therefore, as a concrete expression of our sin cere appreciation, we dedicate this volume of THE TOWER to Mrs. Olivia H. Shanks-an able scholar and a wise friend.

"It is only through the morning gate of the beautiful that you can penetrate into the realm of knowledge. That which we feel here as beauty we

shall one day know as truth.'-Schiller

R. KELLY WHITE President B.A., M.A., D.D. Wake Forest College; Th.M., Th.D. Southern Baptist Theological Seminary;

D.D., Stetson University.

The president of Belmont College must be a Christian leader as well as a wise administrator. It is his responsibility to direct the lives of the students during their college years. Dr. White has well fulfilled these requirements during his administration at Belmont. Just as the hours at Belmont are drawing to a close for many of us, so the hours Dr. White will spe.nd at Belmont are drawing to a close. As we leave Belmont we express our thanks to Dr. White for the time he has given us and for his help and encouragement.

WORDS FROM THE HEART To this our book of treasures we wish to add words of appreciation to those whom we shall never forget. We present these thoughts in a spirit of Christian love and genuine admiration. To the Administration and the Faculty of Belmont College: The words below seem to describe the objectives which you have sought to attain for the students of Belmont: "If we work upon marble, it will perish; if on brass, time will efface it; if we rear temples, they will crumble into dust; but if we work upon immortal minds, and imbue them with principles, with the just fear of God and love of our fellow men, we engrave on those tablets something that will brighten to all eternity.

The Life Service Band is a group of Christian young people on Belmont campus who have dedicated their lives to the service of the Lord. All of its members are not going to be preachers or missionaries; some have chosen business and professional careers. All, however, have dedicated themselves to serve the Lord in whatever way they can, in whatever field they choose. The purpose of the Band is to witness for Christ. both on the campus as individuals and in the churches in Nashville and nearby towns. The Band has the privilege and the responsibility of leading the worship services of the churches it visits.

To bring out hidden talents in an individual through the creative form of drama and to offer to the students of Belmont an experimental kind of art almost as old as timethis is the purpose of the Studio Players. This purpose was successfully accomplished in the Fall production of Glass Menagerie and the many oneact, student-directed plays that were presented, thus giving the student not only a chance to act but to produce and direct.

Because of the historic brick tower situated behind Blanton Hall, the official yearbook of Belmont College has been named THE TOWER. Just as the brick tower

Serving on the staff is an honor bestowed upon a limited group of students. The editor is elected by the student body from candidates chosen by a committee of faculty members. Only those students who have shown the necessary qualities of leadership, scholarship, and ability to stand firm under stress are considered for the editorship. The editor may choose his or her staff provided the selections meet with the approval of the Publicity Committee which is composed of five faculty members. Herman and Marjorie sort through pictures of sports events.

The 1959 staff of THE TOWER has worked together as a team, accomplishing at times the almost impossible task of meeting deadlines and compiling material. With the help of Mrs. McKnight and the other members of the Publicity Committee, as well as the splendid cooperation of the administration, the faculty, and the student body, the staff was able to present the

lIr I I I

The Rebels of 1959 are looking forward to a successful season under the leadership of new head coach and former player-captain Bobby Bradley. This year's baseball team is a hustling! high-spirited club. Carl Bailey, returning letterman, has been elected captain and Jesse Cabler, veteran shortstop, is cocaptain. Carl will be handling the catching chores while Jesse will be holding down his infield position. Pitchers on the squad are Ray Hogan, Jerry Vradenburg, John Fitzgerald, and Don Farrar. Infielders are Boots Kirby, veteran letterman at third, Bergen White and Herman Knox, battling for a berth at second base, Jim Cunningham and Jim Crowe, competing for a job at first base, and Lee Putman is playing behind Cabler at shortstop. Outfielders who are putting all they have into gaining a starting role are Jimmy Ringstaff, Paul Walker, Jack Wheeler. Noel Loper, Federico Odreman, and Earl Organ. Organ will also see limited service assisting Bailey with the catching details. l is believed that the Rebels have the combination skill and to go all the way this year.
