FOREWORD 


A  wise  philosophical  historian  has  justly  writ- 
ten that  "A  people  which  takes  no  pride  in  the 
noble  achievements  of  a  remote  Ancestry,  will 
never  achieve  anything  worthy  to  be  remember- 
ed by  remote  descendents."  It  is  with  this  idea 
in  mind  that  the  members  of  the  Fledgling  staff 
have  undertaken  to  renew  the  venerable  distinc- 
tions of  Colonial  days  in  Wilmington  and  to  en- 
twine these  age  old  branches  firmly  around  our 
new  and  progressing  Wilmington  College.  Wil- 
mington has  never  placed  its  claim  to  distinction 
in  a  large  and  rapid  growth  of  population,  but 


to  its  historic  past,  as  well  as  to  those  natural 
advantages  which  large  numbers  of  people  can 
never  supply,  but  which  form  an  asset  of  value 
which  cannot  be  calculated.  Therefore  the  1962 
Fledgling  is  offered  to  the  students  of  Wilming- 
ton College  and  others  of  the  area  in  the  hope 
that  they  will  see  that  the  history  of  the  city, 
which  is  characterized  in  our  first  buildings, 
should  be  appreciated  and  considered  as  a  thing 
of  value  purchased  by  a  community  rightfully 
owning  it  as  a  part  of  its  heritage.

The  1960-61  Wilmington  College  Baseball  Team  ended 
their  17-2  season  record  with  a  trip  to  the  National  Jun- 
ior College  Championship  Tournament  in  Grand  Junction, 
Colorado.  This  long  trip  proved  to  be  successful  as  the 
team  defeated  Mesa  Junior  College  in  the  final  game  of 
the  tournament,  thus  winning  the  title  of  National  Cham- 
pions. 

The  members  of  the  1960-61  team  are,  seated,  Ronnie 
Smith,  Louis  Howard,  Perry  Burchette,  Wayne  Taylor, 
Phil  Stephenson,  Hiram  Lee,  Lawrence  Keith,  and  Larry 
Edens;  standing,  Coach  Bill  Brooks,  David  Miller,  and  Bill 
Haywood. 

Ronnie  Durham,  pitcher  of  the  champion  team,  was  se- 
lected as  Most  Valuable  Player  in  the  tournament.  Durham, 
David  Miller,  and  Wayne  Taylor  were  named  to  the  All- 
Star  team. 

Bill  Haywood  ended  the  season  with  a  7-1  record.  Ronnie 
Durham  tallied  7-0;  and  Louis  Howard,  4-1.

Wilmington  College  has  played  an  important 
role  in  the  lives  of  many  people  through  the  years 
it  has  been  in  existence.  The  college  has  been  an 
important  asset  for  the  Wilmington  area,  but 
now  it  takes  on  additional  duties  as  its  growth 
comes  into  full  view. 

The  new  campus  is  a  symbol  of  the  historic 
events  which  have  led  to  the  present  status  of 
Wilmington.  The  city  is  an  old  one,  filled  with 
many  relics  and  memories  of  past  days.

PROGRESS 

Even  as  the  college  now  becomes  an  impor- 
tant part  of  the  society,  it  becomes  a  mark  of 
distinction  for  that  which  we  now  call  past 
traits  or  old  hobbies.  College  is  a  place  for  con- 
version of  varied  forms ;  it  is  a  place  for  ma- 
turity. Thus,  Wilmington  College  serves  its  dual 
purpose. 

The  college  is  a  place  for  growth  while  it  is 
a  place  for  correction.  It  is  one  of  the  institutes 
of  Wilmington  that,  while  looking  ahead,  bears 
the  traits  of  that  which  has  gone  before  and 
cannot  be  changed. 

The  college  life  among  the  students  is  ever 
aware  of  these  factors.  The  activities  are  varied 
and   promote  spirit  and  ideas.

SCHOOL  SPIRIT  .  .  . 


The  winners  of  the  contest  at  the  Masquerade  Ball  were 
very  unusual  indeed. 


Campus  life  is  complex  in  all  schools,  but 
its  beginning  can  be  the  more  complex.  Wil- 
mington College  faced  many  trials  during 
its  first  quarters  of  operation  on  the  new 
campus. 

The  organization  of  clubs  and  teams  prove 
to  be  challenges  to  students  and  faculty. 
Many  of  these  groups  began  very  slowly, 
but  like  Wilmington  College  and  its  fellow 
institutions  of  Wilmington,  growth  and 
progress  seem  to  be  a  definite  goal.

AN  ACTIVE  CAMPUS 


School   spirit  finally   got   underway   in    the   tournament. 


College  is  very  difficult. 


Dr.  Randall  works  diligently  for  the  betterment  of  Wilmington  College.  His  office 
includes  the  responsibility  of  seeing  that  the  needs  of  the  students  and  faculty  are 
answered. 

PRESIDENT  OF  THE  COLLEGE  .  .  . 

Dr.  William   M.  Randall 

President  of  Wilmington  College 


Serving  Wilmington  College  for  the  eleventh 
consecutive  year,  Dr.  William  M.  Randall  is  the 
first  president  of  Wilmington  College  on  its  new 
site.  The  president  worked  responsibly  and  con- 
scientiously in  the  Isaac  Bear  Building  with 
many  other  people  toward  the  present  campus 
and  classes ;  he  now  works  toward  its  improve- 
ment, a  four-year  schedule,  and  widespread  pres- 
tige. 

Dr.  Randall  received  his  AB  degree  from  the 
University  of  Michigan  in  1921  and  his  AM  de- 
gree in  1924.  He  received  his  PhD  from  Hartford 
Theological  Seminary  in  1929  where  he  gradu- 
ated Summa  Cum  Laude.  Dr.  Randall  has  been 
on  the  General  Education  Board,  has  served  as 
associate  professor  and  later  professor  of  library 
sciences  at  the  University  of  Chicago,  and  he  has 
been  the  Academic  Dean  of  the  U.  S.  Merchant 
Marine  Academy.

THE  DIRECTORS 


Due  to  the  small  student  body,  the  faculty  of 
Wilmington  ColleRe  is  able  to  work  closely  with 
the  students  in  their  curricular  and  extracurricu- 
lar activities.  The  administration  is  always  ready 
to  help  the  student  in  his  difficulties  and  to  give 
support  and  guidance  to  his  organizations.  The 
faculty  gives  the  students  a  strong  foundation 
on  which  to  build  his  future  life. 

Faculty  duties  do  not  cease  at  the  end  of  each 
fifty-five  minute  class  period,  but  the  instructors 
spend  many  hours  in  their  offices  confering  with 
"lost"  students. 


As  Dean  of  Students,  J.  Marshall  Crews  is  always  willing 
to  help  students  in  adjusting  to  college  life  and  planning 
for    their    future    achievements.

WE  LEAHN 


The  past  method  of  educating  the  young  ladies 
of  the  time  portrayed  has  changed  much,  even 
though  the  watchful  eye  of  the  governess  was  a 
more  rigid  guarantee  of  finishing  the  books  than 
those  of  today.  This  practice  shows  the  want  of 
the  people  for  higher  learning. 

Education  has  been  a  necessity  in  the  founding 
and  development  of  many  nations,  just  as  it  pro- 
foundly influences  the  character  and  success  of 
individuals.  Through  education  is  found  paths  to 
achievement  and  happiness. 

The  methods  of  education  change  from  time  to 
time,  but  the  value  of  it  remains  the  same.  The 
classes  of  Wilmington  College  are  symbols  of  this 
value. 


About  the  year  1730  a  little  settlement  was  begun  on  the  east 
of  the  Cape  Fear  River  opposite  the  junction  of  its  two  main 
branches,  which  was  dignified  by  the  name  of  New  Liverpool. 
In  1732  the  name  was  changed  to  Newton.  At  the  session  of 
the  Assembly  held  at  New  Bern  February  25,  1739,  among  the 
acts  passed  was  one  entitled  "An  Act  for  erecting  the  village 
called  Newton,  in  New  Hanover  County,  into  a  township  by  the 
name  of  Wilmington,  and  regulating  and  ascertaining  the  bounds 
thereof"  —  the  new 'name  having  been  suggested  by  the  Gov- 
ernor in  honor  of  the  Earl  of  Wilmington. 

In  1760  Wilmington  was  erected  into  a  borough,  and  the  munic- 
ipal government  was  entitled  "The  Mayor  Recorder,  and  Alder- 
man of  the  Borough  of  Wilmington."  In  1766  the  name  of  the 
municipality  was  changed  to  "The  Commissioners  of  the  Town 
of  Wilmington."  The  first  meeting  of  a  public  kind  of  which 
there  is  any  record  was  held  April  5,  1743,  at  which  landowners 
met  to  elect  commissioners  for  the  ensuing  year.  Taxes  were  not 
levied  by  the  commissioners  of  the  town,  but  apparently  by  a 
vote  of  the  inhabitants. 

The  first  newspaper  was  established  in  Wilmington  in  1764. 
It  was  not  very  successful  and  was  discontinued  in  1767. 

With  these  earlier  advancements  the  foundations  for  what  we 
know  as  Wilmington,  North  Carolina,  have  been  carved.

SOPHOMORE  CLASS  OFFICERS 

The  officers  of  the  Sophomore  Class  are  Ed  Mauney,  president;  John  Galloway, 
vice-president;  Barbara  Brodnax,  secretary;  and  Stacy  Covil,  representative.  The 
second    representative   is   Rita    Sapp. 

A  gazebo,  found  on  Chestnut  Street,  proves  to  be  an 
item    of    admiration    for    two    sophomores. 


The  1961-62  Sophomore  Class  of  Wilming- 
ton College  takes  many  fond  memories  with 
it  as  it  becomes  the  first  graduating  class  of 
the  new  campus:  the  never-finished  buildings, 
the  air  conditioning  that  arrived  in  time  for 
winter,  the  first  socials  in  the  Student  Lounge, 
the  beginning  of  student  broadcast  of  WILC, 
and  the  overtime  ball  game  that  was  lost  by 
only  two  points.  The  students  will  especially 
look  back  on  the  trials  which  they  had  to  make 
for  the  future  of  the  college. 

In  a  few  years  these  days  will  be  a  part  of 
the  history  of  Wilmington  College.  As  one  now 
looks  back  on  the  history  of  Wilmington,  fu- 
ture generations  will  be  looking  back  on  the 
1962  class.  This  class  will  recall  many  pleasant 
memories  that  helped  Wilmington  College  to 
become  a  part  of  the  history  of  Wilmington.

OF  THE  COLLEGE  HISTORY

The  importance  of  a  year's  work  is  always 
noted  at  the  end  of  the  year.  The  qualities  of 
the  classes  can  be  looked  back  upon  just  as 
the  students  look  back  over  the  memories  and 
wonder  how  they  managed  to  do  all  that  they 
did  and  still  graduate.  The  May  Dance,  the 
Azalea  Festival,  and  the  National  Junior  Col- 
lege Baseball  Championship — events  that  will 
never  be  forgotten  by  the  class  of  1960-61. 


Tommy  Cromartie  crowns  Miss  Carol  Hewett  as 
Wilmington  College  May  Queen  for  1961.  Tommy 
was  Vice-president  of  the  student  body  of  1960-61. 
As  May  Queen,  Miss  Hewett  participated  in  the 
Azalea    Festival    as   a    Southern   belle. 


FOND  MEMORIES 


David  Miller  was  one  of  the  outstand- 
ing freshmen  in  1961,  David  was  named 
to  the  All-Tournament  team  in  baseball 
and    AU-American    shortstop. 


Wayne  Taylor  was  named  to  the  All- 
Tournament  team  for  his  superior  skill 
in  the  position  as  catcher. 


The  Most  Valuable  Player  award  went 
to  Wilmington  College's  Ronnie  Durham. 
Ronnie  led  the  Seahawks  to  victory  with 
his    pitching. 


The  male  students  of  Wilmington  College  also  participated  in  the  Azalea  Festival 
as  confederate  soldiers.  The  men  were  escorts  for  the  college  queens  and  appeared 
in  the  services  held  at  Fort  Fisher  as  shown  here. 


The  past  generations  are  reflected  in  the 
costumes  of  IVIiss  Susan  Hale  and  Oliver 
Vestal   for   use   in   "Family    Affair." 


THE  BUSY  LIFE  .  .  . 


Frank  Walker's  contribution  to  the  Homecoming-  Parade  could  be  termed  as  a 
petite  one.  (The  rope  was  used  for  hitching  a  ride  when  the  cart  broke  down  in  the 
middle  of  the  parade.) 


Misses  Rita  Sapp,  Martha  Jay  Staton,  Barbara  Brodnax,  and   Mary  Henderson  serve 
as  hostesses  for  the  dedication  services  in  the  fall. 


OF  A  COLLEGE 


STUDENT 


The    WILC     Sweetheart,     Linda     Hancock,     poses 
before  the   beginning  of   the   parade. 


College  work  is  so  hard! 


The  officers  of  the  Freshman  Class  of  1961-62  are  Charlotte  Taylor,  repre- 
sentative; Barbara  Singletary,  secretary;  second  row,  Nancy  Bradshaw, 
representative;   Nat   Bost,  vice-president;   and   Terry   Horton,  president. 


THE  FRESHMAN  CLASS  .  .  . 


The  Student  Council  officers  for  1962-63  are  Nat 
Bost,  president;  Kay  Wells,  secretary;  and  Millie 
Stone,  vice-president. 


The  Freshman  Class  of  1961-62  entered  Wilming- 
ton College  amid  an  air  of  confusion  and  antici- 
pation. Not  only  was  this  their  first  days  of  college 
life,  but  this  was  the  first  freshman  class  of  the 
new  campus  of  Wilmington  College. 

The  students  became  acquainted  with  the  new- 
ness of  college  just  as  the  campus  became  ac- 
quainted with  them.  Organization  became  a  watch- 
word among  the  students,  for  their  progress  be- 
came parallel  with  the  progress  of  the  school  and 
campus.  Formation  of  clubs  and  various  activities 
fell  upon  these  students  in  the  same  manner  as  the 
beginning  years  of  the  college  in  Wilmington. 

This  first  "wearing  in"  of  the  campus  can  never 
be  redone,  but  it  must  remain  in  the  history  of 
the  school.  This  history  now  becomes  a  part  of 
the  history  of  Wilmington.

Rehearsals  for  the  plays  at  Wilmington  Col- 
lege may  become  hectic,  but  the  lines  are 
learned. 


The   Top   Twelve   perform   for   the   assembly   program   in 
the   Student   Lounge. 


The  officers  of  the   Freshmen   Nurses   are,   front   row,   Mary   Richardson   and   Mary 
Elizabeth    Merritt;    back    row,    Martha    Kaye    Brown    and   Janice    Henderson. 

FRESHMAN  NURSES  .  .  . 


The  chemistry   lab   period   begins  with   instruction   on 
use  of  chemicals  and  results  to  work  toward. 


The  Freshman  Student  Nurses  of  James  Walk- 
er Memorial  Hospital  are  also  students  at  Wil- 
mington College  during  the  autumn  and  winter 
quarters.  They  come  several  mornings  each  week 
to  take  anatomy,  physiology,  chemistry,  and  mic- 
robiology. At  the  hospital  the  nurses  are  taught 
by  various  doctors  and  nursing  instructors.  Dur- 
ing their  junior  and  senior  years,  they  are  taught 
again  by  Wilmington  College  professors.  This 
time  they  study  such  subjects  as  sociology  and 
psychology. 

Student  nurses  have  hard,  busy  schedules,  but 
the  ones  at  James  Walker  still  find  time  to  have 
run.  Their  recreation  includes  wiener  roasts,  tal- 
ent shows,  and  even  an  occasional  ballgame  on 
the  beach.  The  freshmen  are  also  allowed  to  have 
every  weekend  off. 

One  of  the  highlights  of  their  senior  year  is 
the  three  months'  training  that  all  of  the  nurses 
receive  at  the  State  Hospital  in  Raleigh.

The  activities  of  a  period  in  time  indeed  tell  the 
story  of  the  people  living  then.  The  Sunday  after- 
noon picnic  was  a  popular  activity  among  young 
people  such  as  these.  A  picnic  was  an  event  for 
celebration  or  for  mere  hobby.  The  basket,  filled 
with  homecooked  delights,  was  usually  raided  after 
a  butterfly  chase  or  a  game  of  croquet. 

The  young  people  of  Wilmington  had  similar 
activities,  but  they  enjoyed  many  different  hobbies 
due  to  the  varied  climate.  Of  course,  there  was 
an  old  swimming  hole  for  the  daring  even  though 
the  Atlantic  Ocean  beckoned  to  many  in  the  warmer 
season.  Carriage  races,  horse  shows,  and  stage 
shows  have  played  important  parts  in  the  growth 
of  the  port  city. 

Activities  are  a  necessity  in  the  organization  of 
any  project.  The  beginning  classes  of  the  school 
were  composed  of  a  limited  number  of  members, 
but  with  the  maturity  of  the  college  with  the 
enlargement  of  the  classes,  a  need  was  created  for 
varied  activities. 

Thus,  the  many  clubs  and  organizations  of 
Wilmington  College  are  important  factors  in  the 
expansion  of  the  school,  its  prestige,  and  its  chang- 
ing members.  This  section  includes  the  student 
organizations. 


While  the  facts  in  regard  to  the  educational  interests  of  the 
people  of  the  Province  of  North  Carolina  were  lamentable,  there 
was  not  such  an  absolute  destitution  of  educational  facilities 
as  has  sometimes  been  represented.  There  was,  however,  no 
legislation  in  favor  of  schools  until  1745  and  nothing  came  of 
that.  The  first  school  actually  put  in  operation  by  law  was  the 
school  at  New  Bern.  The  master  of  the  school  was  required  to 
be  a  communicant  of  the  Church  of  England,  and  the  school  itself 
to  be  subject  to  the  control  of  that  church,  as  was  also  the  school 
later  established  at  Edenton,  in  1770.  On  the  Cape  Fear  some 
of  the  earlier  ministers  taught  schools.  Such  was  the  case  in 
the  classical  private  school  opened  by  Rev.  James  Tate  in  1760  in 
Wilmington.  The  first  free  school  of  which  there  is  any  record, 
and  which  was  the  first  one  founded  by  private  benevolence,  was 
the  Innes  Academy  in  Wilmington,  named  in  honor  of  Col.  James 
Innes  who  left  nearly  all  of  his  estate  in  1759  to  found  it,  and 
which  was  incorporated  under  that  name. 

But  these  schools,  public  and  private,  by  no  means  represented 
all  the  educational  facilities  of  the  people,  for  there  were  private 
tutors  in  the  families  of  the  planters  and  wealthier  citizens,  and 
the  sons  of  these  families,  when  sufficiently  advanced,  were  sent 
to  Harvard  or  Princeton  or  to  England  for  the  completion  of 
their  education. 


These  cornerstones,  once  laid,  paved  the  way  for  our  present 
educational  system  which  consists  of  22  modern  accredited  schools, 
including  2  high  schools  and  a  junior  college.

STUDENT  COUNCIL  .  .  . 


The  members  of  the  Student  Council  of  Wilmington 
College  are  Stacy  Covil,  Sophomore  Representative;  John 
Galloway,  Vice-president  of  the  Sophomore  Class;  Al 
Shew,  President  of  the  Cotillion  Club;  James  Cotton, 
Chairman    of    Elections;    Frances    Best,    Secretary;    Jim 


Hudgens,  President;  John  Pistolis,  Vice-president;  Ed 
Mauney,  Sophomore  President;  Gennell  Sugg,  Freshman 
Class  Representative;  Rita  Sapp,  Sophomore  Representa- 
tive; Barbara  Singletary,  Freshman  Secretary;  and  Terry 
Horton,    President   of   the    Freshman    Class. 


Mr.  Walter  C.  Biggs  serves  as  advisor  of  the  Student 
Council. 


The  Student  Council  sponsors  assembly  programs  such 
as  this  Christmas  program  of  music  by  the  Wilmington 
College  Chorus  under  the  direction  of  Mr.  Loyd  Hudson. 


ELECTED  TO  LEAD 


The  members  of  the  1961-62  Student  Council 
of  Wilmington  College  were  chosen  to  lead  the 
student  life  and  to  coordinate  the  activities.  The 
new  campus  is  the  pride  of  many,  but  it  presents 
the  task  of  organization. 

The  parking  situation  became  the  first  of  the 
problems  overcome  by  the  Student  Council.  The 
grass  must  be  protected ;  therefore,  members 
issue  parking  tickets  for  illegal  parking. 

Obtaining  ash  trays,  door  mats,  checker  and 
chess  sets,  cards,  and  book  racks  for  the  Stu- 
dent Lounge  became  a  project  of  the  Campus 
Committee. 

Informal  dances  have  proven  to  be  popular 
among  the  students.  The  WILC  Broadcasting 
Service  became  a  separate  committee  due  to 
its  growth. 

Conducting  student  body  elections  is  another 
important  task  of  the  Student  Council. 

Each  year,  the  Student  Council  sponsors 
Homecoming  Week-end.  This  consists  of  parade, 
bonfire,  game,  and  dances. 

The  Suggestion  Box  and  Poll  Committee  com- 
bine to  inform  the  Student  Council  of  the  needs 
of  the  student  body. 


The  WILC  Student  Broadcasting  Service  began  as  a 
project  of  the  Campus  Committee  of  Student  Council  for 
providing  a  method  of  announcing  important  bulletins  and 
the  music  that  students  like  to  hear.  A  separate  committee 
now,  it  is  headed  by  Ed  Mauney,  head  announcer;  Oliver 
Vestal,  chief  engineer;  Frank  Rogers,  station  manager;  and 
Mary   Gillilan,  secretary. 


The  President  of  the  Cotillion  Club  relaxes  at  one  of  the 
dances  with  Anne  West  and  Charlotte  Taylor  while  Char- 
lotte's  date   takes   pictures. 


The  Cottillion  Club  began  its  operation  late  in 
the  school  year  of  1961-62.  The  dances  of  the 
college  were  organized  by  a  committee  of  the 
Student  Council,  headed  by  the  Chairman  of 
Social  Affairs  who  was  appointed  by  the  presi- 
dent. The  chairman  who  was  appointed  in  1961 
was  Al  Shew,  a  second  year  student  of  Wilming- 
ton College. 

The  committee,  under  Al  Shew,  began  to  grow 
and  create  interest  in  socials  among  the  students 
on  campus.  The  need  for  building  school  spirit 
became  satisfied  by  uniting  the  school  through 
social  functions.  This  factor  combined  with  the 
necessity  of  handling  trivial  matters  of  concern 
to  dances  outside  of  Student  Council  meetings 
to  instigate  the  question  of  a  charter  for  a  dance 
club. 

The  Cotillion  Club  is  made  up  of  the  members 
of  the  Student  Council  and  three  representatives 
from  each  class.  The  meetings  are  for  the  pur- 
pose of  planning  the  dances  for  a  report  to  the 
Student  Council. 


ORGANIZATION  OF  DANCES 


The  President  of  the  Cotillion  Club,  Al  Shew,  confers 
with  some  of  the  members  of  the  club  on  the  choice  of 
records  for  the  dances.  These  members  are  Terry  Hoi'ton, 


Gennell     Sugg,     Hilda     Rooks.    Al,     Barbara     Singletary, 
Ed  Mauney,  Jim  Hudgens,  and  Tommy  Landen.

SERVICE  CLUB 


Miss    Judy    Hayes,    club    sweetheart,    proves    that 
engineering   can    be    very    interesting. 


The  Engineers  Club  was  formed  to  promote 
interest  among  the  students  in  all  aspects  of 
engineering.  Under  the  advice  of  Mr.  Calvin 
Doss,  Mr.  Fred  Toney,  and  Mr.  Rolla  C.  Nelson, 
the  members  participate  in  both  scholastic  and 
civic  activities. 

The  Engineers  Club  organized  the  parade  for 
the  Homecoming  Week-end  of  Wilmington  Col- 
lege. The  members  also  spent  many  afternoons 
collecting  wood  for  the  bonfire. 

The  club  holds  monthly  meetings  at  which 
time  guest  speakers  keep  the  club  informed  on 
the  latest  engineering  practices  and  develop- 
ments. The  group  also  conducts  tours  to  interest- 
ing places  such  as  Fort  Fisher  Air  Force  Base 
in  order  to  see  engineering  principles  in  practical 
application. 

Dinner  meetings  and  socials  also  fill  the 
agenda.  The  sale  of  Wilmington  College  pins 
is  an  important  project  of  these  students. 

Promoting  interest  and  providing  help  to  the 
school  makes  this  club  the  service  club  of  the 
college. 


Mr.    Larry    Ingle,    Assistant    Professor    of    Social 
Sciences,  is  the  advisor  of  the  society. 


The  Panmathan  Society  is  the  first  of  its  kind 
at  Wilmington  College,  being  organized  in  the  fall 
of  1961.  Its  organization  was  brought  about  to  help 
fulfill  the  need  of  the  new  campus  for  a  variety 
of  interest  to  the  students. 

The  meetings  of  the  Panmathan  Society  provide 
the  students  and  faculty  with  a  place  for  discussion 
and  debate.  These  meetings  are  begun  with  a 
speaker  or  speakers,  and  it  usually  ends  with  a 
conversion  of  one  point  of  view  or  with  an  equal 
number  of  supporters  for  each  side. 

Subjects  discussed  at  these  meetings  range  from 
religion  to  politics.  "Operation  Abolition"  was 
shown  to  the  members  and  visitors  at  one  of  the 
more  interesting  meetings.  A  newly  converted  Re- 
publican also  created  an  evening  of  intense  interest.

WILMINGTON  COLLEGE 
CHESS  CLUB 


The  Wilmington  College  Chess  Club  was  formed 
in  the  winter  of  1961  for  the  purpose  of  providing 
students  with  a  place  for  learning  and  improving 
the  popular  game.  This  club  is  one  of  the  new 
clubs  in  the  history  of  Wilmington  College,  created 
to  help  interest  the  students  in  their  school  and 
its  activities. 

The  meetings  of  the  Chess  Club  are  held  weekly, 
and  the  entire  evening  is  devoted  to  playing  among 
the  members.  Advice  is  given  to  them  from  the 
club  officers  and  advisors. 

A  chess  team  is  sent  to  other  schools  such  as 
North  Carolina  State  College  for  competition.  The 
chess  champion  of  North  Carolina  also  makes  the 
meetings  interesting  with  his  advice.

A  practice  session  of  the  band  demands  that  the  members  give 
up   lunch   hours   in   order  to   perfect  their  musical   talents. 


The  Wilmington  College  band,  under  the 
direction  of  Mr.  William  Adcock,  is  attempt- 
ing its  first  year  as  a  concert  band.  Around 
twenty  members  give  up  their  lunch  hour 
to  engage  in  their  favorite  pastime  while 
adding  to  the  number  of  activities  of  the 
college. 

In  addition  to  lining  up  concerts,  the  band 
plays  dixieland  music  for  the  Homecoming 
bonfire.  The  members  march  in  the  Home- 
coming parade  also,  adding  the  most  neces- 
sary factor  of  a  parade. 

With  this  beginning  of  the  Wilmington

to  parallel  the  growth  of  Wilmington 
College.

The  Pen  Pushers  Club  tries  to  create  interest 
among  students  in  developing  their  writing 
abilities  and,  by  expressing  opinions  on  other 
authors,  learn  more  about  the  styles  of  creative 
writing.  The  members  bring  in  their  work 
for  discussion  and  criticism. 

Many  of  the  meetings  are  centered  around 
guest  speakers  who  explain  different  methods 
for  improving  their  works.  Some  of  these 
speakers  are  members  of  the  faculty,  but  many 
of  them  come  from  publications  in  Wilmington 
who  have  worked  with  the  practical  applica- 
tion of  creative  writing. 

Miss  M.  Shannon  Morton,  the  faculty  ad- 
visor, ably  assists  the  students  in  their  writing 
and  helps  explain  the  many  intricacies  of 
writing.  In  the  spring,  the  club  publishes  the 
With  Pen  In  Hand,  a  literary  magazine  of 
the  work  of  the  students  of  Wilmington 
College.

MERCHANDISING 


CLUB 


The  Wilmington  College  Merchandising  received 
its  charter  from  the  Student  Council  in  the  fall  of 
1961.  This  group  has  begun  with  a  few  members 
under  the  advice  of  Mr.  W.  K.  Dorsey.

among  the  students  in  the  art  and  skill  of  retailing. 
The  club  members  take  part  in  work  in  downtown 
Wilmington.  Their  part-time  work  adds  interest  in 
Wilmington  College  students  and  aids  its  prestige. 

Club  meetings  are  held  in  the  classes  of  retailing 
and  outside.  Club  projects  are  for  the  betterment 
of  Wilmington  College  and  Wilmington. 


Officers  of  the  club  are   Bill   Cunniff,   secretary,   Norman    Phipps,   president,  James 
Strickland,  treasurer,  and  John   Pistolis,  vice  president.

THE  SEAHAWK 


Business  manager  Betty  Ward  posts  announcements 
concerning    the    Seahawk. 


As  editor  of  the  college  newspaper  Judy  Ely  spends 
much  of  her  time  "chasing  news"  and  "grabbing 
pictures." 


Mr.  Thomas  R.  Lupton  serves  as  faculty  advisor  of 
the  Seahatrk.  His  job  includes  supervision  of  ad- 
vertisement sales  and  the  type  of  news  that  goes  in- 
to the  paper. 


The  newspaper  of  Wilmington  College  serves 
many  purposes.  Through  this  means  of  informing 
the  students,  it  creates  school  spirit  in  activities 
while  it  strives  to  improve  conditions  which  may 
not  be  easily  recognized. 

The  Seahawk  also  makes  announcements  such 
as  the  returns  of  the  May  Court  election.  Bulle- 
tins of  information  from  other  colleges  are  con- 
veyed through  the  newspaper. 

The  members  of  the  Seahawk  staff  often  can 
be  seen  seeking  information  from  club  officers 
and  faculty  members.  After  each  layout  is  com- 
pleted and  the  stories  written,  the  paper  is  print- 
ed while  the  reporters  begin  work  on  the  next 
edition. 


Mary  Gillilan  and  Sarah  Hunnicutt,  Sea- 
hawk typists,  look  over  material  for  the  next 
issue.

WE  EXCEL 


The  bouffant  dress  of  the  southern  belle  easily 
portrays  the  beautiful  styles  of  the  period  of  plan- 
tation life.  These  styles  reveal  the  elegant  taste  of 
the  people  and  their  interest  in  the  excellence  of 
the  day.  The  southern  belles  may  not  wear  this 
style  of  dress  in  the  fashions  of  modern  times,  but 
the  beauty  of  a  young  lady  is  the  symbol  of  the 
socials  of  the  year. 

The  academic  life  has  its  limit  in  every  college, 
for  the  students  must  have  varied  activities  to 
satisfy  their  active  minds.  During  the  year  differ- 
ent social  are  sponsored  to  create  interest  among 
the  students  in  their  school  and  its  importance. 
These  activities  range  from  Faculty-Student  socials 
to  the  formal  May  Dance  and  informal  post-game 
dances.  The  election  of  the  Sophomore  Superlatives 
is  a  highlight  for  the  second  year  students.  The 
Fledgling  Beauties  reveal  the  belles  of  the  college. 

Thus,  the  students  display  their  excellence  in  the 
midst  of  the  busy  class  schedules  and  deadlines. 
This  section  features  the  students  of  Wilmington 
College  who  have  excelled  in  the  socials  of  the  year. 


Wilmington  offers  a  record  replete  with  historical  interest  and 
full  of  promise  of  a  fine  and  progressive  future,  built  upon  a 
treasured  past  history  and  incalculable  natural  advantages.  It 
has  made  large  contributions  to  the  formation  of  the  American 
nation,  and  deserves  much  recognition  by  the  State  of  North 
Carolina  as  a  city  of  first  historic  importance  that  has  supplied 
an  active  association  with  the  world  of  commerce  and  the  growth 
of  free  governments. 

By  1890  Wilmington  was  a  thriving  city  with  electric  lights, 
street  cars,  and  railroads,  and  a  population  of  17,000.  The  first 
World  War  brought  a  boom  in  the  shipyards  and  increased  the 
population,  as  did  World  War  II.  However,  a  natural  decline  in 
population  followed. 

The  city  in  1952  had  a  population  of  55,000.  Both  the  city  and 
county  continue  to  grow  rapidly  in  industry,  port  development, 
and  modern  conveniences. 

The  imagination  and  interest  of  tourists  and  vacationists  are 
captured  by  the  Wilmington  area's  natural  beauty,  famous  gar- 
dens, historic  points  and  landmarks,  excellent  fishing  grounds 
and  nearby  ocean  beaches  with  miles  of  beach  strand.  Many 
visitors  and  sports-minded  tourists  are  attracted  by  fine  golf 
courses,  tennis  courts,  and  zoos. 

Wilmington  and  New  Hanover  county  are  easily  accessible  by 
air,  land,  water,  and  rail.  It  is  served  by  two  railroads,  two  air- 
lines, the  inland  waterway,  and  bus  lines.

WE  PLAY 


A  popular  sport  in  this  past  generation  was 
"wheeling"  a  two-seater  as  couples  passed  many 
happy  hours  pedaling  over  the  countryside.  This 
was  a  method  of  visiting,  sightseeing,  and  exercis- 
ing as  well  as  sharing  a  mutual  pleasure.  This 
domestic  sport  has  had  many  varied  forms  in  the 
years  that  it  has  spent  as  a  favorite  pastime 
through  team  jaunts,  races,  and  therapy. 

Sports  play  important  parts  in  the  developing  of 
an  organization  as  much  so  as  the  vital  purposes. 
Through  this  unity,  a  group  can  set  its  goals  high 
and  confidently  hope  to  attain  them.  The  sports 
activities  of  Wilmington  College  have  been  more 
than  an  asset.  The  recognition  that  the  teams  have 
received  in  a  far  reaching  area  has  been  invaluable 
for  the  prestige  of  the  school.  The  variety  of 
sports,  as  limited  by  the  climate,  provides  a  game 
for  all  interested  students. 

The  influence  of  sports  on  student  life  of  a  col- 
lege cannot  be  over  emphasized.  Just  as  the  past 
generation  used  sports  to  develop  well-rounded 
students,  the  present  day  student  uses  them  to 
create  interest  in  all  phases  of  college  life.  This 
section  is  the  sports  of  Wilmington  College.

The  life  of  sports  is  the  natural  learning  activity  of  people 
everywhere.  Through  it  is  digested  some  of  the  deepest  and  most 
poignant  experiences  of  many  lives.  Through  it  is  fit  the  incom- 
prehensible segments  of  the  world  into  an  understandable  whole. 
From  the  dramatization  of  human  relationships,  occupations, 
current  events,  stories  from  life,  from  books,  from  radio,  and 
from  movies,  one  can  acquire  this  comprehension. 

As  industrialization  grew  in  the  Wilmington  area,  space  for 
sports  almost  disappeared,  and  the  content  of  sports  activities 
itself  thinned  out.  Realizing  this,  the  elders  of  the  town  develop- 
ed a  worthwhile  Play  Area  Development  Program  based  upon 
the  natural  sporting  interest  of  each  age  level.  As  the  experiences 
of  Wilmingtonians  enlarged,  the  interest  in  the  immediate  en- 
vironment was  extended  to  include  new  activities. 

With  the  passage  of  time  there  developed  a  community  abund- 
ance of  facilities  for  almost  every  sport  enthusiast.  Nearby  ocean 
beach  resorts  offer  recreational  facilities  to  tourists,  vacation- 
ists, and  sportsmen.  Excellent  swimming  facilities  are  available 
in  clean,  clear  water,  warmed  by  the  Gulf  Stream.  The  sounds 
are  ideal  for  sailing,  boating,  skiing,  and  fishing.  Angling  in 
Wilmington  and  the  surrounding  area  is  enhanced  by  the  activi- 
ties of  the  New  Hanover  Fishing  Club,  the  largest  of  its  type  in 
America,  and  the  Yacht  Club. 

Golf  is  played  on  Wilmington's  fine  municiple  course,  or  on  one 
of  the  country  club  courses.  The  PGA  Azalea  Open  Golf  Tourn- 
ament is  held  annually  in  the  spring.  A  number  of  tennis  courts 
are  also  open  to  the  many  tennis  enthusiasts. 

New  Hanover  and  the  adjoining  counties  provide  opportuni- 
ties for  hunting  of  all  kinds  of  game.  Wilmington  has  many 
parks  plus  a  number  of  city  playgrounds  and  athletic  fields. 
Greenfield  Park  is  one  of  the  beauty  spots  of  the  South.

GREENFIELD  PARK 


COACH  WILLIAM  J.  BROOKS 


» 


The  familiar  tall  figure  of  the  coach  of  Wil- 
mington College  has  for  several  years  been  the 
symbol  of  the  growing  prestige  of  the  sports  of 
the  college.  Mr.  William  Jasper  Brooks  has  led 
the  baseball  team  to  the  national  championship 
in  1961  and  the  basketball  team  to  the  finals  of 
the   championship   in    1962. 

Mr.  Brooks,  Associate  Professor  of  Biological 
Science,  received  his  AB  from  Atlantic  Christian 
College  in  1948  and  his  MA  from  East  Carolina 
College  in  1959.  As  a  member  of  the  facultv  at 


Wilmington  College,  he  has  tought  health  and 
physical  education  courses.  The  coach  spends 
much  of  his  time  searching  for  candidates  for 
the  teams  of  the  college. 

The  new  campus  of  Wilmington  College  will 
soon  include  a  baseball  field  due  to  the  efforts 
of  this  man.  Because  of  his  work  on  the  field  it- 
self and  his  work  for  the  improvement  of  the 
.school,  the  Board  of  Trustees  has  named  the  field 
"Brooks  Field".

Eugene  Bogash  clashes  with  a  North  Carolina  State  play- 
er as  he  jumps  for  the  ball.  Team  mates  Jim  McCurdy 
and  Mike  Hebron  prepare  to  catch  the  ball  with  the 
opposition    players. 


TEAM  ACTION 

The  Seahawks  of  Wilmington  College  began  the 
1961-62  season  with  a  non-conference  win  over  the 
North  Carolina  State  Freshmen  by  a  score  of  79-63. 
Returning  from  Raleigh,  the  team  defeated  Atlantic 
Christian  College,  86-46. 

Collecting  the  first  loss  of  the  season,  the  Seahawks 
played  the  Citadel  Freshmen  in  a  73-79  game,  but  this 
was  to  be  revenged  in  the  return  battle  on  home 
ground  with  a  94-84  score.  In  this  victory,  Eugene 
Bogash  broke  his  previous  score  record  with  33  points. 

Jim  McCurdy,  Al  Thiry,  and  Larry  Edens  tied  for 
high  scorers  in  the  Wilmington-State  Freshmen  game 
with  22  points  each.  This  victory  was  the  second  over 
the  State  team  with  a  102-79  score. 

The  next  two  non-conference  games  were  losses 
with  final  scores  of  68-70  and  71-94  to  the  University 
of  North  Carolina  Freshmen  and  the  University  of 
South  Carolina  Freshmen  respectively.  Edens  led  the 
first  game  with  16  points;  Eugene  Bogash,  the  second 
with  32  points. 

The  Wilmington  group  met  St.  Andrews  in  Laurin- 
burg  for  a  98-82  victory.  Bogash  again  led  the  Sea- 
hawks with  23  points,  high  score  for  both  teams. 

Bogash  and  Thiry  were  high  scorers  for  the  76-42 
win  over  Charlotte  College.  With  a  limited  team  the 
Seahawks  still  had  no  trouble  defeating  this  rival. 


Larry  Edens  and  the  Louisburg  team  player  seem 
to  suspend  from  a  mutual  point  as  the  ball  flies 
away  near  the  Seahawk  hung  for  the  Home- 
coming   Game.

WELL-BALANCED  TEAM 


Continuing  without  the  prep  students,  the  home  team  walked 
over  Chowan  College  in  Progden  Hall  for  a  90-72  score.  Larry 
Edens  made  25  points,  having  7  successful  free  throws.  Harry 
Buzzell  and  Gene  Bogash  each  received  16  points. 

The  return  of  the  prep  students  to  the  non-conference  game 
with  Duke  Freshmen  was  not  enough  strength  to  beat  this  team. 
The  Hawks  bowed  with  an  87-91  final  score.  "Bo"  again  led 
both  teams  in  scoring  with  a  32-point  tally. 

Coach  Brooks  used  only  6  of  his  squad  to  defeat  the  Louis-

of  South  Carolina  Freshmen  as  Brooks'  boys  won 
over  the  team  by  12  points.  McCurdy  and  Edens 
led  the  home  scoring. 

On  the  road  for  the  next  two  challenges  and 
victories,  the  Seahawks  played  66-50  and  76-66 
games  over  Atlantic  Christian  and  Chowan.  In 
the  first  game  McCurdy  totaled  14  points,  and 
Bogash  and  Edens  tied  with  13  which  was  to 
follow  in  the  latter  game  with  24  points. 

Home   for   another   non-conference,   the   team 


continued  their  winning  streak  with  a  victory 
over  St.  Andrews  College.  Although  the  Hawks 
tried  hard  for  a  100-point  score,  time  ran  out 
with  one  point  lacking  against  76  of  the  oppos- 
ing team. 

The  Homecoming  Game  of  Wilmington  College 
was  played  with  Louisburg  as  the  foe.  The  79-66 
victory  was  not  an  easy  one  as  the  starting  five, 
Thiry,  Haywood,  Bogash,  Edens,  and  Stephenson, 
played  the  majority  of  the  game,  hitting  69% 
from  the  free  throw  line.  "Big  Al"  set  his  high 
for  games  played  to  date  with  28  points.

THE  GOLF  TEAM  .  . 

Even  though  the  golf  team  of  Wilmington  Col- 
lege is  in  an  immature  stage,  it  hopes  to  become 
an  integral  part  of  Wilmington  College's  sports 
activities.  The  formation  of  any  organization  is 
always  its  hardest  step,  but  the  golf  team  has  had 
little  trouble  in  finding  interested  students. 

In  their  spare  time,  the  members  can  be  seen 
on  the  greens  trying  to  improve  their  techniques 
with  tips  from  Mr.  Frank  Allen,  faculty  advisor. 

The  golf  team  challenges  nearby  college  teams 
to  matches,  thereby  expanding  the  sports  publici- 
ty of  Wilmington  College.  Other  members  of  the 
faculty  also  help  teach  the  students  in  their  spare 
time. 

Membership  in  the  golf  team  does  not  require 
a  certain  capability  in  the  sport.  The  members 
are  students  who  merely  enjoy  the  game,  like  to 
share  it,  and  look  forward  to  competition.

one  of  the  new  groups  of  the  school.  This 
game  provides  interested  students  in  a  pop- 
ular hobby  while  they  are  subjected  to 
friendly  competition  and  games  with  other 
schools. 

The  tennis  team  members  practice  in  the 
afternoons  during  the  spring  quarter.  Wal- 
ter Biggs  serves  as  advisor  of  the  team,  and 
he  helps  them  to  improve  their  skills  while 
building  an  efficient  team.  The  team  makes 
road  trips  with  the  baseball  team  and  play

The  Seahawks  began  their  1961  baseball  season  with  a 
week  of  training  in  Tallahassee.  The  headquarters  for  the 
drilling  was  a  baseball  camp  operated  by  Florida  State 
University.  Danny  Litweiler,  former  major  league  out- 
fielder, lined  up  practice  games  for  the  team. 

The  Wilmington  College  team  lost  the  first  game  of  the 
season  but  were  to  revenge  that  start  by  ending  with  a 
15-2  season  record.  The  first  victory  of  the  season  was  a 
2-0  game  over  the  University  of  North  Carolina  freshmen. 
Righthander  Bill  Haywood  pitched  a  4-hit  shutout.  Out- 
fielder Larry  Edens  batted  in  Blair  Walker  for  the  first 
run  and  then  scored  himself  on  an  error  by  the  shortstop. 

The  record  climbed  to  2-1  as  Ronnie  Durham  pitched  a 
2-hitter  in  the  13-0  victory  over  Chowan  College.  Durham 
allowed  only  2  singles  and  struck  out  11  men.  The  Hawks 
chalked  up  14  hits  off  of  the  three  pitchers  of  Chowan. 
Larry  Edens  made  3  hits,  and  Louis  Howard  and  Wayne 
Taylor  each  made  a  triple. 

Gaining  possession  of  first  place  in  the  Virginia-Caro- 
linas  Junior  College  Conference,  the  Wilmington  College 
players  blanked  Louisburg  College  5-0.  Lawrence  Keith 
began  the  game  with  a  base  on  balls,  advanced  to  second, 
then  to  third  on  David  Miller's  infield  hit,  and  scored  on 
a  double-steal  play  with  Miller  going  to  second.  Keith  tallied 
again  with  a  single  and  double.  Haywood  gave  up  4  hits 
while  the  Hawks  made  5  hits  in  the  game,  using  walks  to 
help  make  the  score. 


Coach  William  J.  Brooks,  looking 
over  the  team  roster,  is  responsible 
for  the  superb  training  of  the  Wilm- 
ington  College   baseball   team.

named  on  the  aU-tournament  team. 
Durham  won  the  first  three  games 
for  tlie  Seahawks,  two  in  relief, 
and  batted  .600  for  the  four  games,

AFTER  1  6-2  RECORD 

The  seventh  straight  win  of  the  season  came  with  the  7-2  victory  over 
Fredericlt  College.  Ronnie  Durham  gained  his  second  win  with  no  losses 
as  he  allowed  the  visitors  5  hits,  walked  3  men,  and  fanned  six.  A  wild 
pitch  in  the  fifth  gave  the  Hawks  the  first  point  of  the  game.  Frederick 
scored  two  in  the  top  of  the  sixth,  but  Ronnie  Smith  answered  this  with 
a  340-foot  home  run  over  the  leftfield  wall.  Durham  walked  in  the  sev- 
enth, and  Lawrence  Keith  hit  a  long  drive  to  put  two  men  on  base.  Dur- 
ham was  put  out  as  he  tried  for  a  steal  to  third.  Taylor  and  Edens  walked 
to  load  the  bases.  Miller  hit  a  double  to  leftcenter  to  score  Keith  and 
Taylor,  bringing  the  game  score  to  4-2  with  an  easy  victory  ahead. 

Coach  Bill  Brooks'  squad  advanced  to  a  12-2  overall  record  and  an  8-2 
loop  with  the  16-5  win  over  Edwards  Military  Institute.  The  combined 
efforts  of  Bill  Haywood,  Lou  Howard,  and  Bobby  Tate  held  the  foe  to 
eight  hits.  Haywood  was  put  out  of  commission  for  the  night  in  the 
top  of  the  third  inning  as  he  was  struck  on  the  forehead  with  a  line  drive. 
He  was  taken  to  the  hospital,  but  he  recovered  shortly.  Howard  took 
over  for  five  frames  to  strike  out  eight  men.  Tate  allowed  only  one  hit 
in  the  last  two  frames.  Tommy  Hines  doubled  with  the  bases  loaded  to 
score  three  runs. 

Haywood  proved  his  recovery  in  the  next  game  by  striking  out  13 
batters  and  allowing  five  singles,  making  his  record  5-1.  The  Hawks 
managed  only  four  singles,  but  had  eight  bases  on  balls  and  four  errors 
from  the  opposition  to  win  by  a  score  of  5-1.  The  team  played  this  game 
against  Campbell  College  with  no  errors  and  one  doubleplay.

freshmen.  Durham  pitched  a  one-hit  shutout  and  hit  a  380-foot  home  run 
in  addition  to  a  triple  and  two  singles.  The  hit  was  a  triple,  and  the  home 
run  came  in  the  third  inning  over  the  centerfield  fence.  This  win  gave 
the  big  righthander  of  Asheboro  a  record  of  4-0.  The  Hawks

THANKS  . . . 

The  development  of  Wilmington  College  will  involve  many 
persons  from  varied  fields  of  society  as  it  steadily  reaches 
its  goal  as  a  successful,  established  college  of  popular  prestige. 
Indeed  the  development  began  some  time  ago  in  historical 
Wilmington  and  has  already  compiled  an  exceedingly  long 
list  of  efforts  by  people  toward  its  status  of  today,  but  growth 
never  stands  still  and  the  list  will  ever  grow  longer  as  each 
year   at   Wilmington    College    odds   something    to    its   standing. 

The  Fledgling  Staff  has  been  subject  to  the  efforts  of 
people  in  combining  strength  to  attain  their  desired  goal 
as  we  have  ventured  into  the  past  of  Wilmington  to  present 
Wilmington  College  in  the  background  of  Wilmington.  Thus 
we  hove  recognized  the  work  of  the  many  factors  which  have 
contributed  to  the  making  of  a  college  and  its  organization. 
The  most  important  organization  is  that  of  the  adjustment 
of  the  students.  We  now  want  to  thonk  the  many  people  who 
have  helped  make  this  yearbook  the  first  yearbook  of  the 
new   campus   of   Wilmington   College: 

the   merchants  of  Wilmington   for   supporting   us 

the    people   of   Wilmington    for   trusting    us 

the  students  of  Wilmington  College  for  their  contributions 

the  faculty  of  Wilmington  College  for  their  help  ond 
guidance 

and  George,  Annie,  Mr.  Davis,  Mr.  hiigh,  Ed,  Coach, 
Dean  Crews,  Dr.  Randall,  the  Board  of  Trustees,  Janice, 
Bonnie,  Nancy,  Rita,  and  Gerald. 

Miss   Frances   Best 
Editor,   The   Fledgling
