We, in an analysis of the basis of life.
Realize that there is always a beginning.
Each day is, in itself, a new start, and
each day is filled with new horizons.
Just as the wind refresh the land, new
challenges provide the refreshing part of
life. Doors perpetually in motion open to
the onrushing masses, presenting us with yet
another starting gate. Vast seas of fog cloud
the entrance to tomorrow, and we begin to find
ourselves adrift.

"TfiSSs1 ^ place to go

where we won't care
With love so rich
and hate so rare

iC-ii. -.

Closing gaps like

no one else,
We gather a rainbow

of unsung wealth.

A place to sit and
greet the sun

A tower to which
we both can Run,

Caring not what
people say
Loving each other
day by day.

Our goal seems

almost halfway met
We look for little

more than that

r

And gathering the
dust of childhood
days
We cast it upon
the waters of
fate

The sky never

turning gray
As the winds

of Eden
blow our way.

20

Our hearts and minds
are young and true

Open door,

WE look for you

Our journey
just begun.

AFTER DARK, SCC!

Mr. Carlos Surratt does a fine job as head of our
Evening Division.

Students who could not come during the day find it
easy to come and take the courses offered For night stu-
dents. The courses range from College Parallel to the
technical and vocational courses.

One can always find time to take a course at S.C.C.

66

Takes on A New FACE!

There is truly no "generation gap" in SCC's night division.
There is, however, the same spirit of learning which has
made SCC the college that it is today.

Above: Nightstudents en-
gage in honest discussion.

Left: The night is not all
studying and learning.

SCC Wins State Crown

The 1972 version of SCC's Knight basketball team after a slow start, opened
the new gymnasium by winning a state NCCCAA championship. After dropping the
first three games, the team's freshmen began to show their style as Surry won their
next eight against tough opposition before losing to Gaston and Southeastern for the
second time. The Knights began the "second season" in the state playoffs at Kinston
against Gaston College taking a 61-60 decision. On the following night SCC rolled
over Southeastern Community College to win the state crown. The Knights advanced
to the Region X NJCAA playoffs at Ferrum (Va.) Junior College. The Knight's
season ended with a loss in a close game against Anderson (S.C.) Jr. College, as
the Anderson squad won 83-70.

Recognition

97

Yes,

We have only just begun.

But there are those among us who know the road we travel .

We follow in their footsteps.

As they go before us.

Their sacrifices have given us the knowledge to make our

Beginning.

The road behind them may have been rough —

We cannot judge;

We only know it has given them the qualities it takes to be

Outstanding in the eyes of their followers.

Such outstanding people deserve a little more

Praise than they have yet received.

Therefore,

To these people

We dedicate the following pages.

9S

"A perfect woman, nobly planned,
To warm, to comfort, and command;
And yet a spirit sti 1 1 and light
With something of angelic light."

What more can we say?

Mrs. Leona Cooke

99

Mr. George Jones

He is a man to whom the world is but a saw, a block of wood,

and a skillful hand.
He Is a man to whom we give no credit.
But, in reality, his reward is in the good he does.
He builds the builders to make our world efficient.
Yet we never see him.
See him as he is.

100

Recognition comes but in the dark-
ness of a moment. For six years
he has given. His moment is now,
a moment of inconsequence, per-
haps, but this IS his moment. Our
sincerity is matched but only in
the deep example he has set.
A friend should be one in whose
understanding and virtue we can
confide, and whose opinion we can
value at once for its justness and
sincerity.

Mr. Richard C. Seltzer

101

Miss Ruth Thompson

Though times may look bleak and bare

Though minds and hearts are in despair

There is a flower which blooms each day

To guide a student along the way

A new ray of hope rest in her smile

For it is in her the answer lies

To many a question and many a dream

102

Mr. James Wallace

He helps you
He makes you understand
He makes you happy
He is knowledgeable
He gives the extra effort
He sacrifices
He is firm but fair
He is unmistakably
Mr. Wallace

In putting the 1972 Lancer together, we found, besides the
many problems, that there were people without whose help, there
would have been nothing. To our photographers, Larry Gordon,
Dick Hill, and especially to Jerry Reid, who was responsible for
developing over 500 pictures used In this annual; To Mr. Arden
Lackey, without whose help and advice, as well as the individual
pictures, The Lancer would not have been possible; to Mr. Richard
Seltzer who helped where no other could; and to the countless people
whose cooperation and work, both in selling pictures and in advising,
helped us to bring this 1972 Lancer to you, the students of SCC.

So My Fantasy Becomes Reality

And I Must Be What I Must Be

And Face Tomorrow

So I'll continue to continue

to pretend my life will never end

And flowers never bend

With the rainfall.
