O. K., Freshmen, how did you sneak in line first?

THE FALL Belmont this fall was decorated with an exciting and popular fall hat. The influx of dear freshmen found that a lovely blue and grey felt beanie would give that extra something to help them feel a part of the school's

life. The upper class men were pleased to find th at the hats were worn with pride and sportsmanship and that the freshmen soon caught on to the "Belmont spirit." Their smiles and eager hearts were witnessed in every phase of campus activity. We are proud that they belong to Belmont and to the student body that gives it Ii fe.

Home for the holidays

Watch closely, we're pros!

WINTER Christmas fun and holidays make winter a welcomed guest at Belmont. When couples begin to gather round the fireplace, and games and fellowship take the place of math and science, and when a spirit unmistakably wonderful points our thoughts to a Star, Christmas can't be far away. The Christmas banquet and campus displays seem to call the students away from the everyday and to invite them to a wonderland that comes but once a year. Soon holidays are over and everyone comes hack Lo work and to study-back to drudge in the den and to fight in the fields.


Come on, Carlton, cooperate!

IN THE The charm, talent, and school spirit of Belmont students seem to blossom in the spring of the year. While one's fancy turns to thoughts of love, it also turns to the activities that only spring can bring. The leading lady and leading man on campus are presented at the Mr. and Miss Belmont Banquet. This lovely court ushers in the first ray of spring.

THE SPRING The days dwindle down to a precious few, and activities dwindle down Lo final exams. The students who once blossomed with the charm, talent, and spirit of spring reach low tide. The weight of the world seems to be on their shoulders as they toil neath the burden of midnight oil and noon day tests. Although low tide is reached they are still swimming because they realize this is just one of those things experienced through the year at Belmont.

DEDICATED TO Sarah Dean To you, Miss Dean, in loving appreciation, we dedicate this annual. Your understanding spirit, your constant guidance, and your complete dedication have won for you a place deep in our hearts. 16

ADMINISTRATION


DR. HERBERT C. GABHART B.S., Carson-Newman College; Th.M., Th.D., Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

PRESIDENT Through the years at Belmont, we have had outstanding Christian leaders. Our President, Dr. Gabhart, is such a leader, as well as a wise administrator. It is his responsibility to direct the lives of the students during their college years. He is well fulfilling these requirements, and for this we are grateful. Dr. Gabhart is a builder and a planner for Belmont. His spirits are always high, and his attitude toward the students is one of genuine concern and personal interest. Under his unfaltering leadership, we shall continue to grow throughout the years at Belmont.

CHI ALPHA NU

The Chi Alpha Nu Society has as its object to develop friendship among the women on the campus, to practice truth, to present a spirit of graciousness, to exercise self-control, to create a wholesome Christian social life for each member of the society, and to uphold the high spiritual ideals of Belmont College. "Spirit" is the secret of the Chi Alpha Nu Society, and certainly this spirit has been shown this year as it has overflowed the campus to bring us a good year. The influences of this society are deep-rooted and far-reaching.

KAPPA DELTA

SIGMA

The Greek letters Kappa Delta Sigma form an acrostic meaning: Fellowship, Service, and Knowledge. Those three words make up a Kappa and express what she and her society stand for. She portrays these qualities by following her purpose: To live according to the ideals of Christian citizenship. To strive for distinction in scholarship.

To appreciate all forms of beauty. To know the satisfaction of cooperative fellowship. To grow in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man. This is what it means to be a Kappa.

But Betty, it's just Joy.

THE 1962 TOWER 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

stands as a reminder of the past, so does THE TOWER recall the days gone by. Serving on the staff of THE TOWER 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.

Janice Jones, Editor. MIDDLE: Clint Morgan, Assistant Editor. RIGHT: Mrs. Elizabeth McKnight, Faculty Advisor.

LEFT:

The 1962 staff of THE TowER has worked together as a team, accomplishing at times the almost impossible task of compiling material and meeting deadlines. With the help of Mrs. McKnight and the other members of the Publications Committee, as well as the splendid cooperation of the administration, the faculty, and the student body, the staff is able to present the 1962 TOWER.

I would like to express sincere gratitude to the Annual Staff which has made this yearbook possible. Its preparation was not a task that one alone could tackle; rather, it took the combined efforts of all the members.

I give credit to a staff which slaved, sacrificed, and served so well. In view- of their tireless toilings, these willing workers have truly labored for the laurels they deserve to wear. Nor wou]d I, in giving, fail to extend

a special thanks to Mrs. Elizabeth McKnight, our faculty advisor. Her devotion and dedication to the publcation of the TowER are not easily expressed by mere words.

It has been a privilege for me to have a part in the publication of a yearbook which we all hope will bring you a host of happy hours. Janice Jones, Editor-In-Chief

Ronnie Sharer, All VSAC for the second year, Woody Odom, Louis Robeson and Bob Lunn supporting Sharer gave the Rebs the ability to sink the shots when they counted. Doug McMahan, Eddie Fox, and Leo Fox completed the starting players in guard positions and gave Belmont its precision of plays. The second team made Belmont one of the finest and most potentially powerful teams in the confere nee. Wayne Porter, a two-year all-conference forward from Ventura Junior College in California; Wayne Mullen, a freshman center from Russellville, Kentucky; and Edward Kelly, freshman forward from Antioch made the forward three which was completed with Ronnie Bargatze and Bobby Strickland from Nashville.

BASKETBALL The Rebels opened their 1961-62 basketball season against conference member Bethel, and won with a score of 94.74. Returning from Christmas vacation, the Rebels came back to play David Lipscomb at East High. Ronnie Sharer, with 35 points, paved the way for the victory 68-64 beating the Bisons the first of two times in the season. Two days later Belmont entered the APSC Memorial Gymnasium with the VSAC Western Division hanging in the balance, and lost the game 7271. UTMB caught the Rebels again 84-64, giving the Rebs a 2-2 conference record; and marring it to 2-3 with another defeat 68-57. For the second time the Rebels met and defeated the Lipscomb Bisons 58-45 on their home court. Belmont raised the conference record to 5-3 by beating Union twice 88-77 and 80-70. The Governors of Austin Peay came to Nashville and went home with a 104-87 victory. The season ended with a happy 6-4 conference record, giving Belmont third place in the Western Division when they beat Bethel for the second time, 75-66.

The Belmont College baseball team of 1962 is one of the youngest ever at Belmont and has the awesome task of retaining the Volunteer State Athletic Conference Western Division Championship. Bobby Bradley is the head coach for the fourth year and is out to better his already impressive record of 32 wins, 18 losses and one tie, including the 1961 Western Division crown. While only Woody Odom, Jim Crowe, Jimmy Ferguson, and James Dale returned from last year's championship squad, the team is one of the largest 'in recent years and is comprised mainly of freshmen and sophomores. Helping Odom on the mound are 1960 returnee Don "Poopsie" Farrar, "Southpaw" James Tillman, Vandy transfer, John King, Jim Nollner and Eddie Colley.

CHEERLEADERS Pictured here are seven reasons for the outstanding enthusiasm and spirit of Belmont Co1lege. These girls gave willingly of their time to spend long hours in practice before the games, working up cheers to arouse the fans and give the team that extra spark of inspiration. Win or lose, they never quit cheering, which is characteristic of the Belmont spirit. They followed the team from town to town throughout Tennessee, so that at home or away, they were always there, yelling for the Rebs. The new uniforms donned by the squad this year were especially neat and goodlooking, and were designed by the Cheerleaders themselves. Our president has commented on their dignity; students all agree they are the best ever, and our Rebel learn looks for their pep and encouragement from the sidelines. Cheerleaders *61-62, we salute you for a job well <lone.

The Women's Intramural Board provides an intramural program for all Belmont women. The two purposes of this Board are: 1. To create better sportsmanship among the participants. 2. To promote participation in sports.


Listen, I said, 'JUMP"!

The Women's Intramural program is set-up on a point system. Each team or individual participating receives points, and the winning team receives additional points. In the spring the girl and club with the highest number of points win the trophies for the year. Sports included in the intramural program are tennis, table tennis, swimming, volleyball, horseshoes, field hockey, bowling, basketball, archery, badminton, and softball.

Believing that participation in athletics is essential toward a well-rounded education, this board endeavors to encourage such participation of all non-varsity men on our campus. The Men's Intramural Board, in cooperation with its faculty advisor and the Athletic Department, is charged with the administrative duties of legislation, coordination, and discipline of the men's intramural sports program.
