By Alexandrenko Seasons of Change To him whose elastic and vigorous thought keeps pace with the sun, the day is a perpetual morning. It matters not what the clocks say or the attitudes and labor of men. Morning is when . . . there is a dawn in me.

19 Dr. Stanley G. Lott Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dr. Stanley Lott, joined the LC Ad­ ministration in August of 1980. Since that time, his hard work and dedication have not only increased the high quality academic program, but also strengthened the faculty and ad­ ministration working relationship. Dr. Lott has many responsibilities in­ cluding selection of faculty, instruc­ tional budget, operation of registrars of­ fice, overseeing library staff and opera­ tions, and the computer center as it relates to administrative functions, and when needed, acting in place of Presi­ dent Lynn, to name a few. Of prime importance to Dr. Lott is the maintenance of the academic program. "A high quality academic program must be looked after constantly. If you let up or let down the standard of excellence will diminish," said Dr. Lott. Under Dr. Lott, we have seen some welcome additions with nursing and computer science programs introduced in the curriculum meeting the growing needs of students. In his first four years, Dr. Lott has maintaned an openness in communica­ tion that has enhanced trust in faculty working relationships. iur Dr. Edward L. Heath "I'm just a staff member trying to do a decent and honest job. I'm not look­ ing for credit. I believe a person can accomplish so much more if he does not care who gets the credit." These are the words of a man whose contributions to LC have helped widen the scope of student potential in personnel growth and development by en­ couraging students to participate in educational planning and student leader­ ship offices. Coming to LC in 1972 with a background of experience as Editor of Youth Curriculum Materials for the Southern Baptist Convention Sunday School Board, Research Associate for the Tennessee College Association Center for Research in Higher Education, and Assistant to the Vice President for Research and Administration at George Peabody School for Teachers in Nashville, Dr. Edward L. Heath has devoted himself to helping students achieve a better education and to the improvement of student life on campus. As Vice President of Student Development, Chairman of the College Life Committee, Co-ordinator of Institutional Planning and Co-ordinator for Affir­ mative Action, Dr. Heath is strategically positioned to accomplish these goals in the area of student development. "I just want to do what I can here at LC as long as God wants me to stay here," stated Dr. Heath in answer to what his future goals are. Dr. Heath is a devoted husband and the father of four children, one of whom is a sophomore at LC. The warmth and sincerity of this man are reflected in his gentle but firm approach to life, his family and to those around him. LC is indeed fortunate to have Dr. Heath as a member of its staff.

21 Dr. R. Alton Lacey The position of Vice President for Development is more than a job: it is a total response to God's call for Dr. Alton Lacey. Since Dr. Lacey came to Louisiana College in 1976, he has seen many changes. The environment has become more open and the overall image of the college is very positive. Dr. Lacey would like for Louisiana College to be known for the quality of all its programs in every corner of the state. He would also like to see a more diverse student body. When he is not trying to make these changes til <- reality, Dr. Lacey enjoys sports. He is also very involved with community and church activities. The best part of Louisiana College for Dr. Lacey is the relationships he has formed with faculty and students.

22 Mr. Ernest Hicks Ernie Hicks, a graduate of DeRidder High and the University of Southwestern, carries the title of Vice President for Business Affairs. It may not sound like a lot, but merged under that title, are many duties, such as being supervisor of the Physical Plant, the Bookstore, the Communications Center while at the same time being held responsible for all the security and financial aspects of the cafeteria, and the Athletic Department. Immediately after finishing college with a degree in Accounting, Mr. Hicks became a Green Core Officer overseas, where he served for two years. On completion of his term overseas, Mr. Hicks went back to Southwestern to get his Master's. He was then promptly hired by Commercial Investment & Trust Company. Here, he worked for 15 years to rise to the position of District Manager of Northeast, Louisiana. Since coming to Louisiana College 23 years ago, to serve on the faculty, Mr. Hicks has seen many changes. He was here while L.C. still had a football team, and when our basketball team joined a conference. He has watched as many of the buildings on campus were either built or remodeled such as the Fine Arts Building, Guinn Auditorium, Cavanaugh Hall, Alexandria Hall and the new library. When asked what kind of changes he would like to see in store for Loui­ siana College, Hicks replied that he would like to see more publicity for L.C. throughout the state as we can draw from all over instead of just mainly Loui­ siana. This change Hicks hopes to see is being carried out right now, due to the Louisiana Baptist Convention approving the motion for its emphasis for our campus.

23 Dr. Jack L. Bynum Jack Bynum came to Louisiana Col­ lege in 1979 as Dean of Students. Dr. Bynum received his Bachelor of Arts from Houston Baptist University. Then he went on to Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary to earn his Master's of Religious Education. Dr. Bynum resides in Pineville with his wife, Judy, and their two children. When Dr.Bynum is not busy counseling students or teaching, he can be seen jogging around campus.

The infamous "AL'S KICK." All that trouble over this? 79 1983-84 Wildcats The Louisiana College Wildcats were predicted to have a second straight winning season in 1983. 84, but that was not to be. Before the season even started, the Wildcats were dealt a blow with center Kevin Brisco being sidelined for the season due to knee surgery in late September. Brisco, a two-year starter known for his aggressive play, was sorely missed for his rebounding ability. The Wildcats seemed unable to find a suitable replacement for Brisco with junior Derek Henrich sophomore Greg Baggett, and finally Donald Kane, a 6-7 transfer from the Air Force Academy, trying to fill Brisco's big shoes. The Cats first game and first loss of the season would ironically serve as the model for most of LC's season. Against Ouachita Baptist in the season opener, the Wildcats played well only to make mistakes in the closing moments of the game and then lose. This set the typical pattern of playing well but faltering that would haunt the Cats throughout the season. It wasn't until the ninth game of the year that Louisiana College finally put a number in the win column. The Cats' first victory came against East Texas Baptist College in West Fieldhouse where LC posted a 60-48 victory and snapped an eight game losing streak. Ironically, ETBC was the team that helped the Wildcats end a record 16 game losing streak back in 1980-81. After being blown out by Nicholls State University, the Wildcats regrouped and won two games in a row. The LC men took a 54-49 decision over Tougaloo College and followed that with a 73-58 massacre of Spring Hill. However, bad health slowed the Wildcats and started another downhill slide. With Marcus Wallace, the leading scorer and rebounder for the Cats, sitting out with a viral infection, LC was unable to adjust ana lost more games. Starting guard Robert Myer was also slowed by the flu at this time, as well as several reserves. The bright spot during this time was the emergence of Bobby Hamilton as an offensive threat. Hamilton got the form and confidence that was needed in his shot and went on to lead the Wildcats in scoring for several games. Marcus Wallace was the main man for the Wildcats, however. The 6-3 senior from Ville Platte led the Wildcats in both scoring and rebounding this season and has earned numerous honors in three seasons at LC. For the week of January 23-28, Wallace was honored as both the GCAC and District 30 Player of the Week and went on to be selected to All-GCAC and All-District 30 teams, as well as being chosen team MVP for the Wildcats. Wallace wasn't the only Cat to light up the scoreboard though. Don Poe, a senior forward, also averaged in double figures for LC and often took scoring honors when opponents only respected Wallace's offensive ability. Leading the Cats in assists for the third straight season was guard Keith Breazeale. Breazeale owns the LC record of 14 assists in a single game. Top reserves for the Cats were center Greg Baggett and guard Tiny Tezeno, as well as Bobby Hamilton.

Billy Allgood joined an exclusive club in mid-season last year when he became one of only two dozen NAIA coaches in the country to achieve 300 career victories. His 307 lifetime wins after 24 seasons at LC rank second among active college coaches in Louisiana. Allgood has molded winning seasons 14 times, including six of the last nine. The Wildcats have been involved in NAIA District 30 playoffs in five of the past seven years and gained a birth in the national tournament in Kansas City in 1979. Twice Allgood has been chosen District 30 Coach of the Year. He was picked to coach the North team in the 1979 and 1980 Louisiana college all-star game. Allgood was an outstanding prep athlete in Jackson, Miss., before starring in basketball and baseball at Mississippi Southern (now the University of Southern Mississippi). His skill as an uncompromising basketball defensive specialist and ball handler earned a position in the Southern Mississippi Hall of Fame. Allgood still holds a school record for most personal fouls. Allgood returned to Jackson to coach at Meridian High School after graduating from college in 1953. He joined the LC faculty in 1959 as head basketball coach and assistant football coach. He was appointed athletic director in 1965 and added head baseball coaching responsibilities to his duties in 1969. Allgood personally built the baseball field which bears his name. The diamond is considered one of the best small-college facilities anywhere. In addition to athletic administration and coaching, Allgood is a full-time faculty member in the Department of Health and Physical Education. He received his Master's degree from Northwestern State University. If ever there was a guy who believed in the work ethic, it's Billy Allgood. Fourteen-hour work days are common for Allgood, who has the second longest tenure of any current member of the LC faculty. Allgood is highly respected by his peers and quietly involved in civic affairs. A yearly benefit basketball game organized by Allgood and the Pineville Lions Club several years ago aids the Louisiana Lions Camp for Crippled Children near Leesville. Allgood is frequently sought as a speaker for school, church, and civic groups and is an active member of First Baptist Church, Pineville. Breazy aims for the goal. Allgood, 52, is married to the former Irene Tolar. They have two children, Duke, a former two-sport athlete at LC who coaches at De Ridder High School, and Pam, who graduated from LC in 1983.

85 Coach Schneider

Whether in uniform or coat and tie, Frank Schneider has meant good things to Louisiana College basketball. The Wildcats posted four winning seasons, including the college's first 20-win campaign in 1969-70, dur­ ing Schneider's standout career as a floor general. In his four-year reign as head coach the Lady Wildcats have finished fourth in the nation and among the final eight teams in consecutive years. Schneider has played major roles in the historic successes of the men's and women's teams. Three of Schneider's four teams at LC have been involved in post-season playoffs. The 35-year-old Jonesville native has also had success on the prep level. He guided LaSalle High School to the state baseball playoffs and led Bunkie High School to the basketball playoffs a year later. Following a couple of seasons at Kaplan High School, Schneider was graduate assistant coach and recruiter on a Nicholls State University basketball team that went to the NAIA national playoffs. Schneider was an all-state guard for Block High School and played on the Class A championship team in 1966. He was an all-tournament choice in the Top 20 and played on the West team in the state all-star game. Schneider, a 1970 graduate of LC, began his collegiate head coaching career by winning 14 of the first 16 games. His first team finished with a 24-11 record, including a frenzied journey through the national playoffs and a berth among the AIAW Final Four in Dayton, Ohio. The Lady Wildcats almost qualified for the Final Four the next year in a series of pulse-pounding national playoff games but fell by three points to California Poly-Pomona in a quarter-final game. Schneider incorporates many of the same coaching philosophies as Billy Allgood. The women's team is known for its disciplined offense that often results in uncontested buckets after several screens and passes. Schneider is also director of LC's growing Adult and Continuing Education program and coach of the ten­ nis team. He stays busy in the off season with recruiting, basketball camps, reading and tennis. Schneider is married to the former Carol Ann Pettit of Bunkie. They have two young daughters, Amy Elizabeth and Ashley Ann. Frank Schneider

108 GodspeJl, the 1983 Fall Production, was a unique experience for both the audiences who attended the performances and for the students involved in the presentation. Based on the Gospel of Matthew, the musical brought the story of the scriptures to life in a modern setting with lively songs and production numbers in­ termingled with humor. Under the direction of Professor Richard Gwartney of the Louisiana College Communication Arts depart­ ment, the production represented an ambitious undertaking with an elaborate set consisting of plat­ forms which rose almost to the top of the stage in the Fine Arts Building Auditorium. Choreography was handled by Cherise Rino, and numerous students worked on set construction and promotion of the play. The result of the effort was a full house for each performance and a favorable review in the Alexan­ dria Daily Town Talk which praised the work of the student performers and their work as an ensemble. Hours and hours went into rehearsal to make the production a reality, but the students didn't seem to mind the work. The experience of working in the musical provided much more than physical exercise. "Worship is not only preaching," Matt Tullos who played the dual role of Judas and John the Baptist said. "It also includes singing, dancing, and praise. This is the first time I've felt I was worshiping with my body, my soul, and my mind." William Elderton, and Matt Tullos perform a number based upon old William Elderton, in the leading role as Christ, also Vaudeville routines. felt the play provided an important experience. "This role was very intimidating when I first picked it up, as it would be for any Christian, but it's helped me grow in intimacy with the reality of Christ." — Sidney Williams

Miss Louisiana College Pageant

The Miss Louisiana College Pageant Committee, a committee of the Student Union Governing Board, produced the 24th edition of the Miss Louisiana College Scholarship Pageant, an official Miss Louisiana — Miss America Preliminary Scholar­ ship Pageant. Each year this campus production is entirely student- produced. Greg Touchstone, ex­ ecutive director, and the pageant committee chose "On Broadway" as the production's theme. The set con­ sisted of the Manhattan sky-line plastered with bill boards from Broadway. Excerpts from Broadway musicals were performed by the LC Entertainers, a group organized and directed by Cherise Rino specifically for the pageant. John Reeve con­ ducted an excellent combo that pro­ vided music for all phases of the production. The contestants are a select group of young ladies who were initially elected by the student body and have combined cooperation, loyalty and plenty of hard work for the perfor­ mance. Miss Louisiana College serves as official campus hostess and representative. Therefore, the title of Miss Louisiana College is a coveted and exciting honor that provides scholarship funds as well as learning experiences.

205 A Final Glance

206 !

207 Well, we finally did it! We, the Pine Knot staff, have successfully completed the work for this yearbook in order to have a spring delivery (something we attempted last year but failed). Why a spring delivery, you may ask? First, graduating seniors will find it more convenient to receive their books while they are still on campus. Second, the memories preserved in the pages of this book will be hot off the presses and straight into your hands. The one big disadvantage of a spring book may be that some activities did not receive adequate recognition. But this fact will seem insignificant when 10 years from now you find yourself leafing through the pages and reminiscing about the ole college days. Another aspect that distinguishes this book from those past is the belief by the staff that this book should be more of a picture-book, thus the scarcity of copy. Now a personal note or two: I consider it a privilege to have worked on the Pine Knot staff during my four-year tenure at LC and helping to preserve the activities of the years for the student body. Now, even as graduation draws nearer, I can still remember that first day I entered the hallowed halls of this institution as a starry-eyed freshman. The time has passed quickly, but some phases of my college life will never end: the friendships that were made and have matured into an ever-lasting bond; the education received in and out of the classroom and the opportunity to apply that knowledge as a semester intern; the professors who became close friends; the total support of the Wildcat teams — win or lose; the opportunity to listen and talk to distinguished campus visitors and guest musical entertainment The [and an unforgettable evening eating pizza and going to a movie with David Meece). These and so much more were just a portion of the events which constituted my seasons at LC. As I assumed the position of editor for the spring semester I was, at first, apprehensive about continuing in the footsteps of the work previously started by Sid and the "mega" deadlines that I would have to face. But thanks to my two right hands, Sylvia and Kandee, Nina's seemingly endless hours spent in the darkroom, an occasional cry for help answered by Sld, the support and encouragement of Mr. Lollar, and, of course, the countless hours of work put in by Final the other invaluable staff members, my job was relatively easy, We hope, preserved in these pages, is a brief look at the LC community in study and play. These memories may bring a smile, tear, laugh or yell; emotions indescribable by words, but kept deep within our hearts. If we succeeded in this, then our goals for this book were achieved. Yes, these years "were seasons of growth, learning and above all, they were seasons of change." Season Vickie Welborn, Editor
