TO THE CLASSES YOU ATTEND

OF LEARNING 'I will study and get ready, and perhaps my chance will come.' -Lincoln

This Spirit of Learning prevails at Belmont in each class of study. It is a spirit of wanting to know and of 'willingness to find the answers.' Each class becomes an occasion for intelligent discussion on many varied subjects. Whether it is in Literature or Philosophy, Calculus or Chemistry, Psychology or Biology; this Spirit of Learning envelopes each student in the class. Why do you study? Is it to prepare yourselves for future endeavors so that you may use your knowledge to the best advantage? As Pope once said: 'Learning is like mercury! one of the most powerful and excellent things in the world in skillful hands; in the unskillful, the most mischievous." 11

TO THE PEOPLE YOU

Blessed are they who have the gift of making friends for it is one of God's best gifts.'

-Thomas Hughes

This Spirit of Friendliness is, indeed, one of God's greatest gifts to Belmont. It is a spirit of interest in the people you meet, a spirit of companionship with those around you, a spirit of cheerfulness and of laughter with others, a spirit of concern for those you meet day after day. Whether you are in class, at a ball game, at a club meeting, or in the dorm; you will always feel this Spirit of Friendliness at Belmont. It involves many things, but above all, the power of going out of one's self, and appreciating whatever is noble in another. This spirit will always remain at Belmont if you will simply remember this beautiful hintSaid Mrs. Browning! the poet, to Charles Kingsley, the novelist, 'What is the secret of your life? Tel I me, that I may make mine beautiful also.' Thinking a moment, the beloved old author replied, "I had a friend."

ATTEND

OF REVERENCE

'God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. -John 4:24 11

This Spirit of Reverence is a part of each student at Belmont. The different churches you attend throughout the city can feel this spirit; and also, the college campus, the chapel programs, and the classes give evidence of such a spirit. It is hard to define; yet you know it is there because you feel it inside, and you see it experienced by others. Love, faith, and adoration enter into this feeling which is manifested in the entire student body. Those who visit the campus along with those who are a part of Belmont have said many times when expressing their opinions about the school that it was the ''Christian atmosphere' which impressed them most. 'Creation and revelation, art and science, song and story, learning and genius, and all earthly rulers reach their noblest heights when they bend in lowliest reverence at the feet of Jesus Christ.' -McArthur

WORK

TOGETHER

WITH

Edward Bok has given a recipe for success in ife. 'First-What does success mean? It is the doing well of whatever you do in whatever position you are. Second-What is the price of success? It is hard work, patience, and a few sacrifices." This Spirit of Success and Accomplishment involves everyone at Belmont for it is a cooperative goal. You, the students, must work together to arrive at your goal. which should be a satisfying success. Yes, hard work is essential in your task because you must 'work first and then rest' as John Ruskin has said. Aspiration, also, is involved because you must set your aims high before you will be satisfied with success in your endeavors. Success is possible in all areas of life, but you must always remember to Aim High for 'Success lies, not in achieving what you aim at, but in aiming at what you ought to achieve, and pressing forward. sure of achieveM#nent here, or if not here, hereafter.' -R. F. Horton

OF SUCCESS AND ACCOMPLISHMENT

TO LIVE

TOGETHER WITH

We may call it by this name, or call it by that-''teamwork' or 'cooperation'; together we stand, by ourselves we fall flat. Whatever we do, or whatever we plan-we can't stand alone, even the best of us. A Spirit of Harmony rings out at Belmont whether it involves the ball team as they play their best, the glee club as they sing for their school, or a committee as they plan for Homecoming. Wherever two or more people are gathered, there you can see the harmony of individual minds and hearts at work. Belmont knows that discord can only bring unhappiness, while cooperation and teamwork yield rich dividends. Never one thing and seldom one person can make for a success. It takes a number of them merging into one perfect whole.

DR. HERBERT C. GABHART A man we have grown to admire in the two years he has been at Belmont, Dr. Gabhart has led this college to great achievement. The following excerpt from the address delivered by Dr. Gabhart on the day of his inauguration as the second president of Belmont College expresses both the purpose and the ideal of this Christian gentleman. "Ours is the task to foster growth and development along spiritual and intellectual lines ... to train young life to think with hearts in which the love of mankind dwells as naturally and as powerfully as the love of God inhabits the world.' To his character and dedication. in which we find the embodiment of these ideals and purposes, we pay tribute.

Our Beloved "First Family": Dr. and Mrs. Gabhart, Diana, Jo Ellen, and Betty Faye.

Hundreds of man hours have gone to make this, The 1961 TOWER, possible. These hours were given unselfishly by the members of this year's staff. Each has worked untiringly and without complaint to make this yearbook yours. This was not a

job that one

individual could do alone-it took the efforts of each of these people doing a part at the right time, willing to give up studies and pleasure to make this volume complete. There were times when we said it could not be done, but then worked a little harder and the seemingly impossible became a reality. I cannot hope to repay this staff; I cannot even thank them appropriately for the dedication and the work they have done, nor could I begin to thank our faculty

advisor,

Mrs.

Elizabeth

McKnight,

for

her

tireless effort and unending devotion. I can only say 'Thank you' to everyone. It has been a privilege for me to have been a small part of your 1961 TOWER.

Returning home the tables turned and the home fans saw their team fight to a 70-68 win over Milligan. In his opening game at home Fred Frye, in his first season I

Bethel fought hard to hold the Rebel attack, but went down in defeat December 8. This 79-76 victory increased Belmont's winning streak to four. A new addition to the Rebel's roster of opponents, Millsaps, became the fifth straight victim on the home court as Belmont snowed them 95-63. Co-Captain Male Hoss' Julian led his team with a high 29 points and was followed closely by Louie Robeson with 25.

Sharer made a valiant effort with his 18 points, aided by the always dependable' Odum sticking in there with 12 points, but all was in vain. The determined Rebs came to the Homecoming game, and this time Sharer's efforts were rewarded as he led the winning team with 2I points followed by Kirby with I2 and Robeson, Odum, and Julian with II points each. U.T.M.B bowed to a 74-64 defeat. With spirits again riding high the Rebs took Lambuth 82-75, but went down in defeat before Un ion 85-77, then came back to beat Birmingham Southern 92-66. The road trip ended on a sour note as Florence State, out for revenge! gained it with a tough 09-72 victory over Belmont. In another important game the Governors of Austin Peay once again defeated the Rebs-this time 69-60. Two days later on February 8, U.T.M.B. rallied to edge the home team in the last game of the season, 87-86.

Belmont placed five men in the double figures for this game with Sharer and Kirby leading the way with 18 points each. They were followed by Robeson with I6, Julian with I4, and Fox with IO. The Rebels entered the YSAC Tournament with much enthusiasm and took Tennessee Wesleyan 68-62 in the opener. Odum continued pacing the team and led the way with I8 points, followed closely by Julian with I7. Championship hopes died as the Rebels lost in an afternoon game to Carson-Newman 74-58. As the season closed Malcolm ranked first in scoring with 304 total points. That is an average of 13.8 points per game. The Rebels totaled 1689 points during the season for an average of 76.8 points per game. The Rebels' opponents scored 165I points. Rebel fans will be savoring memories of this season for a long time. It was not simply the excitement of the wins, but the way the team played all the gamesrefusing to quit when the odds grew long.

The Belmont Rebels are snowballing along on one of their hottest seasons in the school's baseball history. As this goes to press they are in a good position to gain the V.S.A.C. title this year. In the opening games the Rebs gained the atte nton and respect of al! with their victories over Central Michigan (9-I], Western Kentucky (13-0), Austin Peay ( 10-2), and U.T.M.B. (15-0).

Pitchers Irvin T ussy and Woody Odum have done a tremendous job with Jim Crowe working in relief. First baseman Allen Henson and center fielder Jimmy Ferguson are leading the Rebs at the plate, while Carl Bailey is making his mark in the RBI column. Jimmy Dale pushes into the column of recognition with his extra base hit average. Bergen White, Tommy Frensley, Paul McCarter and Terrance Cooksey have also come through in magnificent style.

INTRAMURALS

One bounce and you're all wet!

The main objective of the intramural program is to create better sportsmanship between the participating teams, and to promote participation on the part of each student. The Women's Intramural program is set-up on a point basis. Each team or individual participating receives points, and the winning team receives additional points. The Men's Intramural program is in the process of being revised and placed on somewhat the same basis as that of the Women's program. The main teams participating in the intramural program are: the four social clubs, B.S.U., Ministerial Conference White team, and Independents. 1
