Clive M. Beck Center is dedicated to the memory of a natural sportsman

Beck Athletic and Recreation Center on May 1 for the dedication ceremony. Rhona and her husband, Graham, right, a member of the board, gave the lead gift for construction of the building, which is named in honor of the couple’s late son.

The campaign was chaired by Rosenthal, with support from Young and others. “We could have built a basic gymnasium for a third of the price of the Beck Cen- ter, but it would never have had the impact that this building is going to have on future generations of students,” said Rosenthal. “The classroom facilities just fit like a glove with the athletic amenities.” Young said that a first-class, comprehensive facility was always the goal. “This is a facility that can truly be used by all students at Transy, not just the varsity teams,” he said. “I would not let any- one cut a corner on this building. It was built exactly as the architects, who were eminently qualified, wanted it. I think the Becks are very happy with this facility. It is in honor of their son, and to have something that wasn’t the best would not be a fitting memorial.” Representing the many students who are making use of the Beck Center were seniors Cassie Robinson and Kris Winders. Robinson, an exercise science major and biology minor, explained the dramatic impact the building has had on the physical education and exercise science program. The cutting edge technology and the proximity of classrooms, the fitness center, and the upper level gymnasium have created an ideal learning situation. “It is great to have a facility that equals the caliber of instructors we have in our program,” said Robinson. “The technology in combination with a growing faculty and staff helps provide Transy students with an education unequaled by any school in the country.” Winders, a biology major and exercise science minor, spoke of the Beck Center from the perspective of a varsity basketball player. “Watching this building grow and blos- som will be one of my fondest memories at Transy,” he said. “Stepping into the building for the first time was awe-inspir- ing. Playing here and being able to call it home has truly been a pleasure and an experience that I will never forget. The Beck Center has set the new standard for athletic facilities in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference.” Summarizing the thoughts of the day, ■ Top, shown touring the fitness center are, from left, Raymond Eskapa (brother-in- Shearer said, “The Clive M.

Lifelong friends to begin teaching careers at same school Amanda Armstrong, left, and Julie Wise met their first day of kindergarten. They were inseparable throughout elementary school, middle school, and high school, then came to Transylvania and completed their degrees with the class of 2002—both in elementary education. Next month, they will be together again when they go back home to Anderson County, Ky., as teachers at Turner Elementary School. “From middle school on we’ve been known as ‘Julie-and-Amanda’ because wherever one of us was, the other was usually there too,” said Wise. “Having Amanda there when we start teaching is going to make the transition so much easier because I’ll always be able to talk to somebody who’s going through the same thing—and it will be somebody I know so well.” “There’s a real bond,” Armstrong agrees. “We have some reputations to live up to because we’ll be teaching with teachers who taught us. It will be interesting to see what happens. “Plus,” she jokes, “we’ll always have someone we can share supplies with.”
