Deep  in  the  sun-soarched

Hangs  like  a  blue  thread

In  winter  say  the  snow-bound,  "She  shall 

come  with  the  sprinf^  Uiaping  upon  the  hills." 

And  in  the  summer  heat  the  reapers  say, 

"We  have  seen  her  dancing  with  the  autumn 

leaves,  and  we  saw  a  tirift  of  snow  in  her 

hair."

Born  to  Fly- 
perched  hij^h 
and  beyond— 
he  waits; 
and  with  an  alert 
eye  he  views 
the  ground: 
and  free  as 
he  is  to 
fly— he  sits, 
perfectly  still, 
without  a  sound, 
for  his  world 
is  free

If  a  man  has  a  talent  and  learns  somehow 
to  use  the  whole  of  it,  he  has  gloriously 
succeeded,  and  won  a  satisfaction  and  a 
triumph  few  men  ever  know.

Your  own  gift  you  can  present  every  moment  with  the  cumulative  force  of  a  whoh;  life's 

cultivation;  but  of  the  adopted  talent  of  another  you  have  only  an  extemporaneous  half

three  beauty  queens.

Fair"  at  the  Appalachian  Dis- 
trict Fair.  Following  her  ap-

she  was  named  to  the  state- 
wide title. 

The  1975  Miss  Johnson  City 
Pageant  ended  with  Milligan's 
own  Debbie  Walker  wearing 
the  coveted  crown.  During  her 
reign  this  year,  she  made  nu- 
merous appearances  and  sang 
with  her  newly-formed  group, 
"Holiday." 

The  night  on  which  Debbie 
was  to  relinquish  her  crown, 
Milligan  was  once  again  repre- 
sented in  the  line-up.  Cissy 
Hill  was  named  "Miss  Con-

1976  VSAC  Champions 

The  1975-76  MilHgan  College  Basketball  team  made 
history  this  year.  Traveling  to  Nashville,  Tennessee  for 
the  Volunteer  State  Athletic  Conference  Tournament, 
the  Buffs  returned  with  the  Championship  trophy. 

Having  compiled  a  24-11  season  record,  the  Buffs  pro- 
vided the  Milligan  community  with  exciting  sports  ac- 
tion on  the  court.  For  the  first  time  in  many  years,  stu- 
dents did  not  have  to  travel  off-campus  to  attend  home 
basketball  games.  This  fact  accounts  for  the  packed 
bleachers  at  all  games. 

Buffs,  thanks  for  a  great  and  memorable  season. 

O-O-O-O-YEAHHHH!!!

Milligan's  1975-76  Baseball  team  excelled 
again,  especially  in  the  Volunteer  State  Ath- 
letic Conference,  where  they  won  the  eastern 
division  championship  and  finished  second  in 
the  VSAC  playoff. 

Winding  up  second  is  not  bad  at  all  for  the 
Buffs,  who  ended  the  season  with  a  20-23 
record. 

Coach  Stout  achieved  the  honor  of  being 
named  "Coach  of  the  Year"  in  the  eastern 
division. 

Over  the  41-game  regular  season  route,  Mil- 
ligan  had  six  .300  hitters,  with  Ronnie  Doss 
out  in  front.  The  others  were  Beaver  Young, 
Lynn  Deskins,  Tony  Mitchell,  Danny  Roller, 
and  Mike  Weston. 

Mike  Cline  led  the  club  in  home  runs  with 
5.  Beaver  Young  and  Ronnie  Doss  had  fifteen 
doubles  and  batted  34  runs  respectively. 

Pitcher  Steve  Hypes  struck  out  seventy-one 
batters.

Women's  Sports  Gain  Recognition 

This  year  the  Women's  Volleyball,  Basketball, 
Tennis  aniJ  Softball  teams  had  full  schedules.  Un- 
like previous  years,  the  women  were  a  major  part  of 
the  college's  sports  program.  Under  the  coaching  of 
Miss  Patricia  Bonner,  the  female  Buffs  consistently 
met  their  opponents  with  determination  to  play 
their  best  game.  Though  still  in  the  formative  stages, 
the  Buffette  sports  program  promises  to  be  an  in- 
creasingly important  part  of  Milligan  life. 

This  year's  Basketball  team  was  very  young,  with 
only  two  Seniors  graduating.  Their  record  for  the 
season  was  6-12.  During  their  season  the  team  held  a 
Christian  College  Tournament  for  Women's  Basket- 
ball teams  and  co-hosted  the  State  Large  College 
Women's  Basketball  Tournament. 

The  Softball  team  was  asked  to  represent  East 
Tennessee  at  a  Softball  Tournament  in  Florida.

Intramurals 


Under  the  direction  of  Mike  Percifield, 
men's  intramurals  played  an  important 
part  in  Milligan's  sports  program  this 
year.  Football,  basketball,  and  softball 
teams  were  organized  and  scheduled  to 
play  twice  a  week.  After  a  hard  day  of 
classes  and  study,  intramurals  brought  a 
welcome  break  in  the  routine.

The  lines  upon  a  finger 
are  very  much  Hke  our 
souls  to  God. 
Both  the  good  and  evil 
that  one  does  is  etched 
with  an  invisible  mark 
which  will  fly  to  the 
judge's  presence  and  Give 
testimony. 

But  for  those  who  call 
upon  the  Judge's  Son, 
there  will  be  justification. 
For  upon  these  souls  the 
Son  is  willing  to  place  His 
own  mark,  so  that  the 
judge  will  pardon,  and 
give  life.

Service  Seekers 

As  a  club  whose  members 
clearly  represent  their  title, 
the  Service  Seekers  are  in- 
volved in  various  off-campus 
activities.  Under  the  lead- 
ership of  President  Debbie 
Murphy  and  Mrs.  Yamamori, 
faculty  sponsor,  the  club  pro- 
vides the  residents  of  the  Ap- 
palachian Christian  Village 
with  weekly  devotional  pro- 
grams. These  programs  are  re-

selves, as  well  as  the  Village 
folks  who  attend.

The  Missions  CJub  has  found 
an  important  place  in  the  East 
Tennessee  area.  This  year  the 
club  has  been  actively  in- 
volved with  the  East  Tennes- 
see Christian  Children's  Home 
and  Appalachian  Christian 
Village  by  visiting  with  the 
people  and  offering  their  time 
and  love. 

Some  of  the  members  of  the 
club  traveled  to  Grundy 
Mountain  Mission  and  be- 
came interested  in  the  work 
which  has  developed  there. 


With  Debbie  Piper  as  Presi- 
dent, aided  by  sponsor.  Dr. 
Taber,  the  club  hosted  the 
Faith-Promise  Rally,  raising  fi- 
nances through  pledges  for

The  Christian  Service  Club 
expressed  their  desire  to  be- 
come more  far-reaching  to 
the  specific  spiritual  needs 
of  the  campus  and  the  com- 
munity through  their  vari- 
ous v\?eekly  activities.

visitation  to  Range  Hall,  Ap- 
palachian Christian  Village 
and  Elizabethton  Children's 
Home,  culminated  in  an  all- 
night  service  of  singing, 
sharing,  and  praying.  Good

Special  guest  speakers  and  slides  of  France  provided  the  French  CJub  with 
interesting  and  informative  club  meetings.  President  Cindy  Crum  and  Mrs. 
Woolard,  sponsor,  worked  together  with  the  members  in  planning  several 
activities  which  increased  club  membership  and  involvement. 

A  Christmas  party  in  December  and  dinner  in  April  offered  delectable 
samplings  of  French  cuisine,  and  by  holding  a  bake  sale,  the  club  raised 
money  to  cover  expenses.  In  order  to  improve  their  usage  of  the  French 
language,  members  met  in  the  SUB  periodically  for  conversation  with 
other  interested  students. 


Mention  Zen  and  the  Art  of 
Motorcycle  Maintenance  to 
anyone  at  Milligan  College, 
and  they'll  know  what  you  are

Because  of  the  Philosophy 
Club's  informal  discussion  on 
this  contemporary  book,  sev- 
eral students  became  experts 
on  the  thoughts  presented 
therein.

Several  social  outings  and 
activites  were  also  provided 
which  added  to  the  total 
success  of  the  year.  Most 
memorable,  of  course,  was 
the  annual  Country  Fair,  a

Every  student  who  has 
ever  attended  a  con-

Crew.  The  lighting,  sound, 
stagework,  and  noise  that 
the  Chapel  Crew  provides 
for  Convocation,  con- 
certs, movies  and  shows

year,  the  Chapel  Crew  in-

new  shirts  from  Dr.  Dowd 
for  their  efforts.

Student  Union  Board 

By  asking  five  dollars  as  a 
student  activity  fee,  the 
Student  Union  Board  pro- 
vided students  with 
eleven  movies  and  a  con- 
cert. Movies  were  selected 
according  to  the  polled 
expressions  of  students. 
Each  person  who  had  a 
bright  green  sticker  on  his 
student  I.D.  was  admitted 
to  the  functions  free  of 
charge.  This  method  of 
raising  money  was  quite  a 
success.

Foreign  Students 

Milligan  has  been  fortunate  this  year 
in  having  as  a  part  of  the  family  a 
large  number  of  foreign  students. 
Coming  from  Japan,  Jamaica,  Puerto 
Rico,  East  Africa,  Lagos,  Ethiopia, 
Brazil,  just  to  name  a  few.  These  stu-

tending both  Milligan  and  ETSU 
have  participated  in  joint  activities.

Hart  Dorm  Council 

Hart  Hall  Dorm  Council  Has  been 
dedicated  to  providing  activities  and 
Get-Togethers  within  the  dorm.  This 
year  Hart  had  a  new^  resident,  Mrs. 
Millar.  Anna  Wiley,  President,  en- 
couraged each  dorm  counsellor  to 
plan  section  parties,  which  included 
jaunts  to  "Maxine's,"  pizza  parties 
and  pretzel  bakes  in  the  kitchen. 
Christmas  found  a  large  number  of 
girls  (and  guys)  in  the  main  lobby, 
decorating  the  tree  and  door  and  ta- 
bles and  clock  and  shrubs  (?).  The 
girls  also  provided  a  family  with  all 
the  trimmings  for  a  Christmas  feast. 

Other  activities  included  an  all-dorm 
camp-out,  dorm  devotions  and 
spring  cleaning  in  the  main  lobby.

Sutton  Dorm  Council 

Sutton  Hall's  lobby  has  a 
new  look  this  year.  Be- 
cause of  the  dorm  coun- 
cil's hard  work,  under  the 
leadership  of  the  Presi- 
dent lulie  McNett  and 
Head  Resident  Mrs.  Rob- 
inson, the  cushions  have 
been  recovered  and  the 
drapes  have  been  cleaned. 

Money  was  raised  for 
these  projects  through 
Bake  Sales  and  a  Christ- 
mas Bizarre.  The  dorm 
residents  also  partici- 
pated in  the  Toys  for  Tots 
drive  and  assisted  a  needy 
family  at  Christmas.

Milligan  Well  Represented 
By  Traveling  Singing  Groups 

In  an  earnest  effort  to  spread  the  gospel  through  music, 
four  singing  groups  from  Milligan  have  been  hard  at 
work  during  the  past  year.  During  the  summer  of  1975 
the  groups  "God's  Hands,"  "Great  Exchange,"  and 
"Sound  Idea"  traveled  throughout  the  nation,  per- 
forming nightly  concerts  in  numerous  churches.  "God's 
Hands"  and  "Sound  Idea,"  supported  financially  by  the 
school,  were  responsible  for  attracting  many  prospective 
students  through  their  appearances  at  church  camps.  Al- 
though they  received  the  financing  from  private  pledges 
and  were  not  technically  representing  the  school,  "Great 
Exchange"  was  also  instrumental  in  exemplifying  the 
high  caliber  of  people  which  make  up  the  body  of  Milli- 
gan College. 

In  the  fall  of  1975  a  group  intended  to  present  Milligan  to 
area  high  school  audiences  came  into  existence.  "Holi- 
day" performed  in  numerous  high  schools  and  also  pro- 
vided entertainment  for  the  1976  Miss  Johnson  City  Pag- 
eant. Because  of  the  group's  strong  testimony  for  Christ, 
"Holiday"  was  asked  to  perform  on  the  program  of  the 
North  American  Christian  Convention  in  Denver, 
Colorado.

Yes,  this  is  the  end  of  the  1976  Buffalo.  Yet  our  purpose  in  creating  this  book  is  that 
the  memories  which  are  stirred  by  this  collection  of  pictures  and  thoughts  will  never 
end.  This  is  our  gift  to  you. 

We  have  all  experienced  different  things  at  Milligan— some  wonderful  things,  some 
unpleasant  things.  If,  in  years  to  come,  you  flip  through  these  pages  and  are  able  to 
relive  the  pleasantries,  we  have  succeeded. 

It  is  traditional  for  the  editor  to  thank  the  staff;  yet  a  mere  "thank  you"  to  the  1975-76 
Buffalo  Staff  would  be  inadequate.  Without  their  assistance,  this  book  would  be  160 
blank  pages.  They  taught  me  all  I  know. 

Thank  you, 


Ed  Charlton,  for  your  patience  with  me,  expertise  with  the  camera,  your  long  hard 
hours  in  the  dark  room  and  your  listening  ability. 

Shumpei  Kato,  for  your  stick-to-itiveness  in  taking  faculty  pictures,  your  cooperation 

in  taking  pictures  at  Godspell  and  your  beautiful  pictures  in  the  introduction. 
Tim  Brady,  for  your  dedication  to  the  Senior  Section,  unique  ideas  and  photographic 

assistance. 
Jan  Jones,  for  being  an  understanding  and  sympathetic  roommate,  for  helping  out  at 

deadline  time,  for  your  ideas  and  beautiful  smile. 
Nancy  Lauyer,  for  your  initiative  and  unwavering  dependability  as  the  Business 

Manager. 
Eric  Duggins,  for  your  smiling  face  and  beautiful  artistic  expressions. 
Trisha  Scott,  for  your  devotion  to  the  Senior  Section  and  willingness  to  work. 
Kitty  Becker,  for  your  courage  to  stay  in  the  Staff  room  overnight  and  for  having  the 

stamina  to  plow  through  twenty  years  of  Student  Council  minutes. 
Linda  Gindlesperger,  for  your  creative  talents  with  layout  sheets,  hearts  and  balloon 

men. 
Karen  Huber,  for  your  hard  work  on  Clubs  and  Organizations. 
Linda  Horn,  for  your  knowledge  of  the  baseball  team  and  work  as  Sports  Editor. 
Nancy  Morgan,  for  your  sweet  words  of  encouragement  and  typewriter. 
Val  Cook,  for  your  ideas,  knowledge  of  yearbook  methodology  and  Student  Life 

section. 
B(;cky  Coleman,  for  your  loyalty,  patience  and  flying  fingers  on  the  typewriter. 
Mark  Reidel,  for  your  assistance  on  ads  and  Student  Life. 
Linda  Cooper,  for  your  successfulness  as  an  Ad  salesman  and  friendship. 
Barb  Elliott,  for  your  great  cartoons. 
Mr.  Wright,  for  listening  to  my  gripes  and  problems. 
Mr.  Moore,  for  clearing  up  all  the  misunderstandings  and  foul-ups. 
Especially  Ron  Wempe,  for  the  chocolate  bars.  Super  Dummy  T-shirt,  your  patience 

and  willingness  to  let  me  drive  your  jaguar. 

Even  though  these  two  individuals  were  not  directly  connected  with  the  yearbook,  I 
offer  my  special  thanks  to  Mrs.  Fontaine,  who  has  encouraged  me  in  all  my  efforts, 
and  Dr.  Read,  a  beautiful  person. 


May  Milligan  College  always  remember  the  great  class  of  1976.
