Calciid 2004-2005 Beneath the surface? Isn't everything just as it appears to be? As we s hould all know by now, things aren't always as they seem, which is why we have chosen "Beneath the Surface" as our theme for the 2004-2005 academic year. Looking at the quarry, we simply see what's o n the surface: a seemingly calm and banal lake. However, for those of you who may not be aware, the qu arry descends hundreds of feet, and its floor and walls are comprised of complicated and intertwined caverns and passageways, creating dangerous currents and undertows that can endanger even the strongest of swimmers. Like the quarry, there are students, facu lty, and staff that, to the unknown, seem to be involved in nothing but their various disciplines. However, that's merely at the surface. For those of you who have never been to his office, Dr. Paul LeFrancois is a biking enthusiast. He has participated in numerous cycling events across the U.S. and Canada. He has attended the Boston-Montreal-Boston event several times; Dr. Tom Thomson, a history professor and director of the Honors Program, is an avid collector of stamps, with a collection of more than 50,000 stamps; Charles Dawkins, a campus security officer, is also a pool shark; Sean Pfeiffer, a freshman wrestler, also lifeguards back home in Pennsylvania during the summer. Looking at them, you could never guess their involvements in other activities, other than the ones you know and see for yourselves. To conclude, the aforementioned people are simply a handful ofthose around campus that have a bit more going on than you may think or see. Therefore, the next time you're a round campus and see someone walking to class, or walking to their office, don't take what you see at face value because, chances are, there's a lot more going on "Beneath the Surface."

Wherever the party was, this was sure to be a night Limestone students would remember! Greg Davis and Dominque Ashford dress up for FCA's Halloween Night.

Christmas, that magic blanket that wraps itself around us, that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a day offeasting, or prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance. A day in which we will think of everything we ever loved. Limestone College campus looks so beautiful during the Christmas season . Each year luminaries line the streets and people gather to watch the lighting of the tree. Luminaries are bags weighted with sand and lit by a single candle. With the help of staff and athletes there are thousands of them made and placed around the school and local community. People of all ages come together to sing carols and you know that December 25th is just around the corner. Anticipation fills the air as students and faculty decorate their rooms and offices with holiday spirit. The warmth of the season can be seen in everyone.
Luminaries are always a b ig event at Limestone. Here, the beauty of the season.

2005 faculty and staff
•

If anyone ever asked a student what was so great about Limestone College, more often than not, they would reply that it was LC's faculty and staff. From the professors to the coaches to the ladies in the registrar's office, Limestone's employees have always been the cream of the crop. In the classroom, the professors are top notch. More than 75% of Limestone's teaching staff has terminal degrees in their various disciplines, and on top of that, they are very personable, friendly, and talented. They make time for students in and out of the classroom, and even after they have graduated. Many of Limestone's former students stay in touch with their professors and/or advisors. On the fields, on the courts, or in the pool, Limestone's coaching staff is also superior. This year alone brought many accolades to the athletic department. In Basketball, LC's men's team reached the semi-finals in the CVAC tournament for the first time in the program's history; in Baseball, the Saints finished in the top spot in the regular season; in Tennis, the men's team finished in the top half of the CVAC, with an overall record above .500; in Lacrosse, both the men's and women's teams finished their regular seasons in 1sl place. These are just a few of the athletic department's accomplishments, and indeed, they are things Limestone College can be proud of. In the offices where LC's "behind-the-scenes" people work, there are a lot of hidden treasures. Many students don't venture into the Block and Virtual Campus areas of the Curtis Administration building, and that's a shame. In these offices, there are many wonderful and helpful people, who, if given the chance, would gladly befriend many students. This also holds good for the ladies in the registrar's office, the ladies in the business office, the ladies in the bookstore, and Ms. Joyce Phillips working the switchboard. Not to be left out, try having a conversation with Limestone's maintenance and housekeeping staff, or even the staff down in the Stephenson Dining Hall. I'm sure many of you would be surprised at just how friendly and polite a lot of them are, provided you treat them with respect. Harold, the maintenance man in Timken, if given the chance would tell you stories about the places he was stationed when he served in the army. The ladies in the cafeteria would greet you with a friendly smile just for being mannerly, and this is true for all the rest of Limestone's employees. To conclude, Limestone's faculty and staff are really wonderful people, and like the students, they too make Limestone the fond and memorable place it is. Many of them are unique in their own way, but one thing is for certain: they are the people who keep students coming back year after year, as well as the people who bring students there in the first place.

Students In Free Enterprise "Separate but equal" Brown vs. Board of Education 1954 Students In Free Enterprise have made great accomplishments at Limestone College. For the past two years, the Limestone College SIFE Team has been named 1sT Runner Up at the SIFE USA Regional Competition . The team worked hard all year to plan and implement a total of 26 projects . SIFE currently has over 40 members, including students who are taking it for 3 credit hours, 1 credit hour, and no credit at all. There are also numerous students that are taking SIFE at the block site in Columbia, SC. Overall, SIFE had great success this acadmic year with events such as: ethics roundtable, which was a seminar that taught students how to interact ethically and professional in the work place. You can usually find SIFE students at our sporting events offering their well-known 50/50 Raffle. One of SIFE's main goals is to reach out to the community and they have done just that with their project called Interest n' Candy, in which they went to various elementary schools in the Gaffney, SC area and taught the children about interest rates by doing fun seminars with the children. Another project is one that consists of 3 parts: Etiquette Dinner, Dress 4 Success, and Mock Interviews.

We, the Calciid staff, have tried to bring everything into perspective that has taken place over the past academic year, from campus organizations and sports, to classes, faculty, and staff. Our aim has been to attend as many campus events and activities as we could in order to provide you with fond memories of the past year at Le, and for you who have never visited the campus, a sense of what Limestone is all about. This year, it was our goal to make this book the best it has ever been, and we sincerely hope that we haven't disappointed anyone.

a little respect ?
The Limestone Cheerleading team has grown in the past year to become a big part of athletics at Limestone College. This year, Limestone took a step forward in becoming a competitive squad by adding guys and high elevated stunts to the routines. This year's squad had lots of school spirit for the Saints basketball teams by attending away games and keeping the crowd alive at the Timken Center. Limestone Cheerleading shows lots of spirit not only for the basketball team, but for the whole Athletic Department. Limestone Cheerlead ing has made a lot of progress and has hopes of hosting a competition here at Limestone.

What a year it was for the Men's Basketball team . Not only did the team achieve a CVAC tourney berth , they also made it to the semifinals of the tournament for the first time in the history of the men's basketball program. Moreover, the Saints were able to accomplish another fi rst for the program since joining the CVAC: a winning record of 15-14. Although they faced some tough losses in games that could have gone either way, the Saints were still able to rally their efforts and win games they weren't expected to win Of these games it was their win over Pfeiffer University, #1 ranked team in the CVAC and the East Region, that will go down as one of Limestone's greatest victories. Shooting a net-searing 65% from the field and 56% from beyond the are, Limestone pulled out all the stops and matched Pfeiffer toe to toe. In the end , the Saints pulled off a 108-105 win over the Falcons in overtime, which sent players and fans into a frenzy.

Despite having a season that wasn't the most impressive, the Women's Basketball team still did quite well. As in past years, the Lady Saints went to the CVAC tournament, coming in as the 11,h seed , but unfortunately, were defeated by the 6th ranked Mount Olive Trojans. Even though their fina l record wasn't nearly as impressive as their male counterparts, they should still be given credit for a hard-fought season. In 8 games, the Lady Saints lost by 6 or fewer points, which, if careless mistakes weren't made, cou ld have gone their way. However, Head Coach Corey Fox believes that the 2005-2006 season shoul d be an exciting one because he has only lost three sen iors, and the returning crop is expected to be quite strong .

fit This year, the Limestone Baseball team has performed at their true potential. Winning became almost a routine for them, and despite making it look so easy, these guys were by no means complacent. They really played their hearts out. At the end of the regular season, the Saints were 17-7 in the conference, a record that allowed them to clinch the top spot In the CVAC. This is the first time the Saints have fin ished in the #1 position in the conference since Head Coach Chico Lombardo joined the athletic staff at Limestone College more than a decade ago. Congratulations, guys on a well-played season.

To say that this year's softball team was lacking college experience would be an understatement. Of the 18 players on the team approximately half were freshmen , and of the remaining players, there were only four seniors and one junior. Did that stop the team from performing? Not in the least. For the second straight year, the Lady Saints made it to the finals of the conference tournament, winning their first two games, and losing the th ird . At the tournament, two of the Lady Saints were selected to the AII-CVAC teams. They were senior Courtney Silva and junior Amy Yates. Head Coach Jimmy Martin obviously had a good recru iting year as well, and if this year's performance was a sign of better things to come, then these ladles most definitely have a bright future ahead of them .

1Niswing of things The Lady Saints Golf team ended their fall season in the high ranks of the CVAC. Therefore, it was no surprise when the Lady Saints were deservingly placed 3rd in the conference in the pre-spring polls. With a talented and hard-working team, there were great expectations that these ladies would have finished the season even higher, and once again, they didn't disappoint. The Lady Saints tied for 2 nd at the CVAC tournament held near the end of April. In the CVAC Golf Championship, Holly Tomkins wrapped up an outstanding tournament with a final round 77. In 2004, the men s golfteam put up some consistently strong scores, hanging in the middle of the pack in the conference. There were some very close losses, such as their defeat by Gardner-Webb Un iversity, being out shot by a mere 13 points, while there were some pretty impressive showings at tournaments, such as a 4th place finish in a fie ld of 14 at the St. Andrews Invitational Tournament. Limestone's men finished 10th . With a strong lineup and a crop of young, talented players, the Saints will hopefully continue to succeed in their future seasons.

Although the Limestone Men's Soccer team didn't have the most impressive record, the record really doesn't do the team justice. The program is undergoing a turnaround, and like most programs in the construction process, wins aren't automatic. However, the team did win one more match compared to last season , and quite a number of the conference games were lost by relatively small margins, with the final game of the season being lost in double overtime to St. Andrews College, 2 goals to 1. Moreover, the team was very young and lacking college soccer experience, so next season Coach Eric Alsop is certain that there will be an improvement in team cohesion and experience, which will hopefully be transformed into more wins .

Last year, survival was the only thought on the minds of the Lady Saints. Recording only 4 wins, they just wanted to make it through the season. This year, however, not only did the Lady Saints survive; they accomplished a total of seven victories and were forced to accept some very close defeats that could quite easily have gone either way. In addition, they also qualified for the CVAC tournament at Mount Olive College, and most importantly, they proved to the rest of the conference that they too are a force to be reckoned With We can expect greater things in the future for this team.

At the start of the season , Limestone had jumped out to a 3-0 start, and as the season progressed they continued to punish most of their opponents. However, they did fall victims themselves with some extremely close, heartbreaking losses. Despite these losses though , the Lady Saints still finished their regular season at the top of the CVAC rankings. In add ition , four LC players were awarded AII-CVAC 1 51 Team honors. They were Andrea Poor on attack, Brooke Nowell and Marissa Pesce in the midfield, and Kristen Black on defense. Moreover, Andrea Poor was selected as the CVAC's "Freshman of the Year."

HISTORY IN THE MAKING: This year marked a number of firsts for Limestone College. The Baseball team finished #1 in the CVAC at the end of the regular season; the Men's Basketball team reached the semi-finals of the CVAC tournament; the Men's Tennis team finished in the top half of the CVAC. To top it all off, Limestone College now has a wrestling team. That's right, a wrestling team. The team is comprised of wrestlers ranging from Jersey, all along the Eastern Seaboard to Florida, as well as the mid-southern states. Limestone's Head Wrestling Coach Ben Stehura has been quite meticulous in his recruiting in order to build a winning program . This year, there IS only one graduating senior, and that's All-American John Richard, who finished 7th overall at the NCAA Division II National Championships held at the University of Nebraska Omaha. With many returning wrestlers, Limestone can look forward to great things from the newest member of its athletic family.

lines With a new coach at the helm, the Limestone College tennis program has made a complete turnaround. Head Coach Tyler Davis recorded his first NCAA win as a coach last fa ll against Wingate University The men's team clinched a 5-4 nail-biter, defeating a team that only a few months earlier had beaten them 8-1. The spring season was no exception either because the men's team posted their best winning percentage in the past five years. In doing so, they also recorded the most number of wins in a sing le season since joining the CVAC. Moreover, unlike last year, they qualified for the CVAC tournament and took an overall record of 10-10. The Limestone College men's tennis team tied for 5th in the Conference.

strike Although the Lady Saints took a substantial blow after losing their #1 and CVAC 151 Team All-Conference player, Rachel Aaron, they have fared quite well. Alexandra Gade, a freshman from Denmark, has stepped into Rachel's shoes, and thus far, has filled them quite nicely. As a runner-u p and third place finisher at fall tournaments, Alexandra has turned some heads. With a sound line-up and support from Melanie Kragl and Jessie Griffin, the Lady Saints have also qualified for the conference tournament for the third straight year.

This year, the Limestone College Cross-Country team struggled with many obstacles to face. One of those obstacles was not having a permanent coach to keep the team on their toes. But next year, Kevin Vees, the assistant wrestling coach , will take on the challenge as head cross-country coach . He was a two time District and Region qualifier in cross country at Central Bucks West High School (PIAA 4A) in Doylestown, PA. At Johnson & Wales, where he earned his BA in Sports Management, he was a varsity starter in cross country. Despite the problems this year, powerhouse runners, Kristopher Chadwick and Susie Russell were MVPs for the men's and women's teams. With a great coach, there are only good things to come from the Limestone College Cross-Country team. Showing a little skin: Limestone College's Men's Cross-Country Team poses for a photo at one of their meets . Pictured from left to right: Jason · Philly· Keen, John Harper, Pat McCormack, CJ Kozlowski , Kris Chadwick, and Andrew Delonga.
And they're off: Cross-country runners at the start of a race.
