In a college founded in 1845, it is not surprising that many historical myths exist. One of the most frequently repeated stories involves the soon-to-be-renovated Winnie Davis Hall of History. Supposedly, a Limestone student during the War Between the States was engaged to a young man serving in the Confederate army. One day, a messenger arrived on the campus with the sad news that the young women's fiancee had been killed in battle. The Limestone student was so devastated by the tragic message hat she climbed to the top of the Winnie Davis tower and plunged to her death ninety fee below. Supposedly, even today, her ghost haunts the building and the entire limestone campus. It is a beautiful tale, but it could not have happened bee use the Winnie Davis Hall of History was not completed until 1904, nearly forty years after the War Between the States ended. Another popular story involves the quarry adjacent to the Limestone campus. Supposedly, a series of tunnels emanate from the bottom of the quarry and extend underneath the campus, with the possibility that one day they will all collapse and bring death and destru tion as a result. Some even believe these tunnels extend under Oakland Cemetery, adjacent to the campus, and perhaps even to the Gaffney- Dusiness district. There 's an element of ruth to this myth - there are tunnels emanating from the quarry, but th y ex end no farther than t e gravel road surrounding he quarry and provide no reat t o buildings. There are many fascinating tales about limestone College, some of which are true and some of which are not.

The fun started on Thursday October 4, wit h Scholars, Dollars & Chocolates, which was an opportunity for Limestone College alum ni and friends to help raise funds to support Limestone grants (picture 1). Saturday morning kicked off with the Parent Association Breakfast hosted in Stephenson Dining Hall, g iving the opportunity for parents to become more involved with their sons and/or daughters during their tenure as Limestone students. The same morning Limestone Col lege alumn i who played soccer during college participated in the alumni game. At lunch time, two graduates and two coaches were inducted into the Hall of Fame Luncheon: Ralph Pim (Ath letic Director 19931998), Joe Monmonier '94 (Men's Lacrosse 1991-1994), Kris Ruckelshaus '92 (Men's soccer 1989-1992) and Michael Scerbo (Women's Lacrosse Coach 1997-2001), (picture 2).

Any Tim·e You What is the joy of life without helping someone in need?During the year students help the community in different ways. Habitat for Humanity is an organization where students were involved building homes. Reverend Ron Singleton, with the Director of Habitat for Humanity Christa Smith , provided a way for Limestone students to be of help. The goal was to finish the construction of four houses before Christmas (lower left photo). All sports teams worked hard to help build homes by holding plywood and hammering nails. LC cheerleaders also gave a helping hand by leading the Alzheimer's Association "Memory Walk" in October (lower center photo). Donating blood to help save someone's life was also one of the most valuable gifts that Limestone students offered to the community in 2007. (lower right photo).

Being a student and working at the same time IS much more complicated than it looks. S ome students balance several jobs along with school: classes in the morning, work in the afternoon, homework at night. Many students need to work full or part-time and attend school in order to accomplish their educational goals. A job gives the opportunity to develop skills and help gain experience. Kristen Alice Bolton, a junior majoring in Accounting, and Erin aggie Bolton, a junior majoring in Elementary Education, work at Applebee's hen they're not busy studying (picture 3).

"I'I'

On a typical day at Limestone, students walk the halls of campus buildings, pass the same faces, hear the same melodic noises of the birds, and take in the smell of freshly cut grass as the campus slowly begins to wake up. The Bam bell rings as the day begins from the Physical Education Center to the Montgomery Building. Among all of the faces- some old, some new, some smiling, some indifferent- there is a continuous sense of uniqueness. Many students face the same situation: once settled in a classroom, their books out, their pens ready to go to work, the overhead projector is raised to reveal the words "Pop Quiz" in red dry erase marker. Seemingly tired faces immediately wake up with a look of fear and confusion. On the way out the door, thoughts are taking turns between the quiz and the rest of the day to come, as each student navigates through a crowded sea of people. As each day passes by, the faces that each person sits next to, works with, or just sees on a daily basis start to become more familiar and make the college experience as smooth as possible.

ok i ng to 10 V e ... Dearest Limestone When preparing \fits, I thought of all the opportunities that these words could have not only for those reading in !008, but those for aenerations to come. I asked)nysetf what I could say that would be some of the most beneficial words you might ever read, and also inspire you. I began word that could inspire, mothinking of a tivate and possi y mesmerize you for just a few moments, or foMnany years to come . What inspired f1lI! ts just four letters long, often forgotten and hidden within the Bible. This word, which is IDeated most prominently in the Book of John, j Ound tn 749 different passages in the K· James Bible. This mere word is something, tha no matter where you are, what you do, or who-wou are you as a person can do and should treasure. l1ris one word should be the basis of all do and the meaning to all our existence, because without tt we would not be human. This advice I give you is Just a mere word -. love. a.ove those around you, cherish those you love, love those no one else will, and make sure to love those who desire not to love. My advice herr today is just that ... love; nothina more and notbing less. Friends, through love all things are ~blel Thanks to all those at limestone who have supported every one of us .nd have helped us all in so man9 ways.

It seems as though each year, when students are busy enjoying warm weather, still in a summer break mindset, and don't have much patience for school, it's time for the semester to begin. It's time to head back to Limestone. Returning students are not eager to get back into t he swing of things: paperwork, homework, pop quizzes, and assigned readings. They know that drop/add week is filled with too many questions and that they'll have to experience deja vu in order to help direct new students. Incoming freshmen struggle with meeting new people, finding classrooms, and memorizing names and numbers. Despite each student's differences, however, everyone becomes familiar with Limestone. Days, weeks, and months of good and bad grades, rarely cancelled classes, an occasional snow day, pop quizzes, midterms, finals and various activities become a part of everyone's school year. And despite rocky moments in the beginning, it doesn't matter whether you're a new or old student, you are all the same: a Limestone student with a brand new year ahead. 38

Monday thro gh Friday, there are classes. Some say they are overrated, some enjoy them, and some are just plain indifferent. Professors struggle against the Internet, video games, iPods, and many other distractions during their c s periods just to keep their students pay"ng attention. Some avoid those possibly distraction-orien ed classes by doing something different. Sister Mary Mauldin takes her students to the benches by the tennis courts, surrounded by freshly cut grass and tall trees providing shade. On nice days, Dr. Carrie Ameling often takes her classes in front of Hamrick to present their speeches for her public speaking classes. Dr. Suzanne Lindley forces her students to be creative and think outside of the textbook by assigning interesting projects for her biology classes. Limestone teachers deserve tremendous credit for the great efforts they undertake to keep their studen ts interested.

Without activities nd Breaks, the school year would seem too long for all of Limestone's students. Krista Patella and Hilary Turner organized something di ferent for their socials as Resident Assistants: they set up a water balloon fight and a mud pit fight on the quad on a warm day in Apr 'l. Instead of the usual turnout of the residents on Krista's and Hilary's halls, many other people showed up. Students in short and t-shirts competed against each other in volleyball a d basketball on their separate courts, as others ran from people lh water balloons. It was an afternoon fi lled with laughter, w ter balloons, and, of course, mud.

After chasing each other, Logan Raabe and Molly Reichwald took a moment to pose covered with mud, The were both unbeatable in the mud wrestling pool.

While everyone as outside enjoying the warm weather, Limestone's Theatre group was busy preparing successfu shows last year: Musical "Spitfire Grill" (directed by Dr. Carrie meling and Dr. David Thompson) and Hamlet directed y Dr. Tim BaxterFerguson). These students d dicated th O r time to late night rehearsals, memorizi n lines, working last minute homework assignments, an tudying for tests with giant cups of coffee. While the s may seem dramatic, the real drama is unfolding behind the curtain: jokes, excitement, panic, and fear. Despite the cast's last minute jitters behind stage, the audience is presented with a great show. Some of the Theatre members sign up for the fun, some do it for the friends, and some do it to fulfill class requirements, but they all manage to agree on one thing: they all love Theatre.

erson to know...

She is one of the people who is considered to be behind the scenes, who helps people without it even being noticed. Jonna Turner is a communication key in Limestone College. She was born in Charlotte, NC, but has been a resident of Gaffney most of her life. She graduated from USC Spartanburg in 2002 with a BA in Communications. She gained experience by working at SCETV, WAGIFM / WEAC-AM Radio, WSPA Channel 7 News Station, and she earned a diploma from School for Film and Televin in New York City for her era acting skills. e College ated her family She

Pro gram, and aft e r a couple of years was pro moted to the Academic Information Director and Web Administrator. Soon after, Jonna received her Master's in Communications Management from Webster University.

But one of the most important positions she has is being in charge of the yearbook as Calciid advisor. "Each year my staff gets better and better, as we as the book," Jonna said when ask d about orking . h the yearbook stud nts. With a lot of pa' nce and dedication she guide students to create each y , a iid like no other. New perspectives are p resented in each book, where she makes sure everyone on campus can be included. Having her as the support for the yearbook staff is definitely one of the best experiences a group can have. We dedicate this year's Calciid to Jonna Turner because she encouraged and pushed us to go a Ie el b e yond an ything t hat was create d before us. We t han k her for all she is, and means to us.

Taurean Dover draws based on a model during the Figure Drawing Class of Spring 2008. Each student does their best when drawing correct proportions and learning concepts of drawing figures.

Although Limestone College is not among one of the bigger universities, the active participation in organizations and the academic involvement are outstanding. These have greatly increased through the years, and each year a number of clubs or organizations are added. Each organization reaches out to others around them in various ways such as The Christian Education and Leadership Program through mission work and the Limestone College and Community Chorus through involving members within the community. This year, members of the Biology Club discovered a new plant species, which will be named after these students. During the Wind Ensemble's "Impressions" Concert, the audience watched the music come to life in local artist Noah Lindemann's painting. Every organization within Limestone College deserves recognition for the dedication and care they put into the community.

Alr \W1E'V1E ID 0 N lE The Limestone Activities Board is a group of students who get together and plan entertaining events for Limestone College students. At the start of the 2007-2008 year, the Activities Board began by helping Student Government plan a Spring Fling. In addition, the Activities Board brought professional singers , magicians, famous poets , motivational speakers, and comedians to campus . In March , they went to the annual Association for the Promotion of Campus Activities conference, in which presenters showcased all different types of acts that the Activities Board may bring to the college for the upcoming year.

JF AJ l~ ILl!M~lES lr 0 NlE The Limestone College Student A lumni Leadership Council is a group of students who represent the college at high visibility functions. The Student Alumni Leadership Council members serve as ambassadors for Limestone and represent the college to its constituencies. A Student Alumni Leadership Council member is very positive, responsi ble, enthusiastic, and enjoys meeting new people. These members would also like to expand their professional and personal network. Another advantage of being a member of the Student A lumni Leadership Council is that one has the opportunity to network with influential alumni and participate in many on and off campus events as well as participate in community service. Members have the opportunity to hone their leadership and communication skills while making social and professional connections. The Student Alumni Leadership Council builds relation ships, generates pride in the college, and promotes student awareness of the Limestone College Alumni Association.

The Show Choir from Limestone College is not only about singing , but about dancing and having a good time as well . This popular group performs at the bru nch on graduation day each semester. Throughout the year, the Show Choi r performed at various places, including a trip to Wash ington, DC with the Community C horus. These students never let nerves interfere with their concerts making each performance an entertaining and successfu l one. The talent of this group seems to expand year after year, making the Show Choir more exciting to watch.

s Point of View The Limestone College SI FE p rogram mission statement is to provide Limestone College students from all majors the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of Limestone students as we ll as others in the surrounding community. This is done by developing leadership, teamwork, organizational, and communication skills though learning, practicing, and teaching the principles of free enterprise in all SIFE criteria. The SIFE program captured everyone's heart last year by winning the regional competition, and went to Dallas, Texas to present at the national competition level. Even though the outcome did not go their way, the students said it wouldn't be their last time making it to the national competition level. This year, they went straight to work, hoping for another chance to compete on the national stage; that dream would come true when they won the regional competition again and headed to Chicago, Illinois to compete for the national title. The SIFE team was also honored and privileged to have Dr. Andrew Cook become the new SIFE advisor and new Sam Walton Fellow.

The Alpha Chi National Honor Society inducted twelve students into the organization this year. The purpose of the group is to promote acade mic excellence and exemplary character among college students, and to honor those who achieve such distinction. The society admits students from all academic disciplines who rank in the top ten percent of the school's junior and senior classes. Membership in Alpha Chi recognizes previous accomplishments and provides opportunity for continued growth and service.

N 1D G1LANC1E The Limestone College Theatre Department puts on wonderful plays throughout the academic school year. The department showcased two unforgettable plays, one during the fall semester and one during the spring. In the fall of 2007, they gave the Limestone College students and the community the chance to experience their magic in their production of Spitfire Grill. The play was well-produced, with humor and beautiful music. Not a second went by where the viewers were not captivated by each scene in the play. In the Spring of 2008, the department revised its own version of the play Hamlet; it was an exciting production. The talent seen from the Theatre Department this year was incredible and admirers look forward to next year.

The Fellowship of Christian Athletes defines a group of enthusiastic people, whether involved in sports or not, who have a desire to reach out to the community through Christ. The Director of FCA, Pierre Salmon, encourages the students constantly and loves watching them grow in their faith . Some of the students in the group spoke throughout the year and helped Pierre a great deal. This year, some students from FCA went to Myrtle Beach as Huddle Leaders at the Middle School and High School FCA Retreat. This, and many other events, including exciting contests and various Dodgeball Tournaments were opportunities to witness and grow in their spiritual walks, and to fellowship with one another. The students in FCA love worshipping Christ not only through music, but through their spiritual walks as well. The Light of God shines through many of the students involved in FCA.

The Limestone College Social Work Club Organization consists of students from various majors. Their main goal is to uphold social work values, including giving the full commitment of work regardless of race, gender, creed, or ethnic background. This club meets on a monthly basis to discuss important topics such as organizational policies, community service projects, and the distribution of information.

The Christian Education and Leadership Program at Limestone College involves students who read and reflect on daily devotions, show their faith in C hrist to others, and participate in a mission trip to Curitiba, Brazil either in March or June. This has been occurring for the past two years, and the tradition will continue next year. The students with in the CELP each have compassion for the children and adults they have met in Brazil, and their hearts go out to the people in the Village Pantanal. The Christian Education and Leadership Program shares the gospel of Christ to those who may never have had the chance to hear it before. The group also participates in mission work within the community at various non-profit organizations such as Meals on Wh eels, the Boys and Girls Club, and Habitat for Humanity.

IP1EltzS1P1E ell]! V 1E The Athletic Training Education Program provides students with knowledge by participating in various hands-on activities. This helps prepare the AT students for future work in their career field, and a great deal of practice time is required for graduation. Before applying for the ATEP, the students must go through a 75-hour observation process in the fall semester of their freshman year. Even after applying, the process is very strict and competitive; the program only accepts and keeps the students who show t heir willingness and desire to be athletic trainers. Another vital aspect of the ATEP is the Clinical Education Program. T his is the basis of academic courses and participation hours in the AT room that the students must complete in order to be a part of the program. Many hours are spent in preparation for this competitive field, but the work pays off once the students have the satisfaction of knowing they can be athletic trainers and help with the clinical needs of others.

The Psychology Club at Limestone College studies various human and animal behaviors through events they attend during the year. One event consisted of visiting Broughton Mental Hospital in Missouri in order to interview patients about their stay at the institute. In the fall of 2007, the club also traveled to Washington, D.C. to the Association of Psychology and Science Convention where they listened to speakers. The Psychology Club invited the Criminal Justice Club on their trip to the Cherokee County Detention Center, where the students toured. They also talked with the prisoners about why they ended up in prison and what they will do after they are released. At the end of the school year, the Psychology Clu b headed to Chicago for another Association of Psychology and Science Convention. Each event the students attended helped increase their understanding of human and animal behavior, and their interest in the psychology field.

Do you remember why you play? Do you play because you 've worked so hard to get where you are or is it because you love to be part of a team? Is it because you love the anxiety before the game? Is it because you don't want to let anyone down or because you don't want to let yourself down? It might be because behind the athlete you've become, there are hours of practice, there are the coaches who pushed you, there are the teammates who believe in you, and the fans who cheer for you nonstop. With all the milestones we reached over the school year, it is tough to remember them all. The year went so fast, and when it was over, we were left asking ourselves what just happened. There were many changes, changes inside the field; new faces on the field and new coaches in charge of those players on the field. The accomplishments this year were some of the best in many years. One of the best accomplishments was having 36 Limestone College StudentAthletes earn Academic All-Conference status in the Conference Carolinas. Their goal was to show their best academically and in their own sport. When you think back, it's then you realize that you were actually there, making history.

We couldn't see the entire process without recognizing and thanking all the advertising clients for their support. The Calciid would not be what it is today if it weren't for those who support it year after year. And to those people, we thank you. Thank you for believing In the staff and for supporting the hard work that is put into each book. Looking back on the year, there are fond memories of bowling in Halloween costumes, eating dinner at the President's home, lighting the entire campus with thousands of luminaries, to running across campus for Dr. Woods' criminal justice class before he locked the door, or getting up at five in the morning to run or lift weights. Some memories are fond while others are forgettable, but one thing is for sure; the Limestone experience will always be remembered. As you flip through the pages of this year's Ca/ciid, no matter how you look at it, you will know you wereapartofhistory, Limestone's history.
