Homecoming Largest Ever

Library Opens,
Named McKee

At special convocation ceremonies,
Sept. 19, SMC officially named and
opened its new library. Congressman
William E. Brock, III, was the guest
speaker for the occasion.

At a separate plaque ceremony fol-
lowing, the new $700,000 building
was named McKee Library in honor of
the family that operates McKee Baking
Company in Collegedale. The family
was a major contributor to the building.

Following a response by O. D. Mc-
Kee, the SMC Senior Class of 1970
presented $1300 worth of books in
memory of three members of SMC's
family who died this year — Dr. Everett
Watrous, former professor of history;
and Linda Lee Reile and Terri Jean
McAIexander, SMC nursing students
killed last March in an automobile ac-
cident near Collegedale.

To complete the ceremonies, Mrs.
Gertrude Battle, a retired Bible instruc-
tor presented a large family Bible to
the new library. She had personally
indexed it according to Bible topics.

By Norma Young Carlson
"This is the most tremendous thing we've ever been to" ... "I wouldn't
have missed it for the world" . . . "fabulous — just fabulous" . . . "Have you
ever seen such an array of talent in all your life?"

Sounds like the talk after a hit Broadway musical? Not really — just typical
reactions of the 900-plus alumni who descended on the SMC campus for the
"largest, the most colorful, and the most nostalgic" Alumni Homecoming Week-

end in SMC's history. (Oct. 16 and

A Tribute
To Miss Wood

By Charles Fleming, Jr.

Earlier this evening special recogni-
tion was given to the graduates of 10
years ago (1960) and 25 years ago
(1945). Tonight we have one more
class to which we wish to pay special
tribute. Fifty years ago in a newly-
constructed barn, not many feet west of
where we are now sitting, was held the
first college graduation at Collegedale.
There were two graduates that day to
be honored. One, Elder Clarence
Field, passed away in Mesa, Arizona,
three weeks ago today. The other 50
percent of that class is here.

It is my privilege tonight to pay
honor to the one who has done the
most to make this weekend possible —
the SMC Alumni Secretary, Miss Mabel
Wood. Her selfless service has been
an inspiration to me. Remuneration is
of little concern to her. She is sup-

One woman said, "WTiat I liked
about it so much was that I saw so
many people I hadn't seen in 15 years."
Olive Braley exclaimed, "I don't know
tvhen I've had so much fun!" Some-
one else said, "We ought to do this
every year." About the most common
expression was, "Isn't this a most fabu-
lous weekend!" Alumnus Samuel
Longley, a Florida dentist, said, "The
Homecoming Weekend was for me the
most joyous renewal of old friendships
and fellowship together that many of
us will experience as mortal men."

The Collegedale Chapter of the
SMC Alumni Association, host for the
occasion, was expecting a bigger crowd
than in past years, but the realization
was greater than the expectation as
between 750-1,000 alumni showed up.
A crowd of approximately 5,000 at-
tended the two Sabbath church services
— the largest number ever at SMC on
one day!

HOMECOMING

(Continued from page 1)

The highlight of the weekend was
the Saturday night program entitled,
"SMC Through The Years," with
emcee Charles Fleming, Jr. Halfway
through the evening a very surprised
and reluctant alumna — Miss Mabel
Wood was called . . . and called to the
platform. As she told me later, "I
thought I had escaped it. I thought
the fact that I was a 50-year alumna
had been completely overlooked — and
I wanted to keep it that way. After
nothing was said at the buffet dinner
earlier that evening, I said to myself,
'Oh, goody! They've forgotten it.
Now I can settle back and relax the
rest of the evening,' My shoes were
off and I was quite comfortable."

But Emcee Fleming was determined.
And so with a little urging. Miss Wood
finally appeared on stage. She was met
with a dozen long-stemmed roses and
a set of "poppy trail" ceramic china —
gifts of appreciation from the Alumni
Association.

As her colleagues on the weekend's
planning committee can testify, a dou-
ble share and a half of the innumerable
work and details were borne by Miss
Wood (The complete text of Fleming's
tribute is in the boxed insert). She
was a member of the first graduating
class at Southern Jun'or College in
1920. She taught at SMC from 1949
until 1967, when she "retired." How-
ever, this "retired" professor still puts
in 40 hours a week — plus — as Alumni
Secretary. And she doesn't get over-
time pay either.

In a letter of appreciation for the
homecoming. Alumnus Longley said,
"Your herculean task in the production
of the weekend will long be a cherished
memory of many, many wonderful
years as a son of the little Collegedale
Valley."

"SMC Through the Years" began at
8:30 p.m. and lasted until 11:30 — not
that it was planned to last that long,
but the audience kept clapping for en-
cores, until finally Emcee Fleming had
to plead with them to restrain them-
selves, or "We'll never get through!"
The program was a nostalgic chrono-
logical memory trip of some of the
most musically-talented folk at SMC in
past years. "Way Way Back" had
those from the late 40's and early 50's;
"Way Back" had the 60's; "Here and

posedly retired on sustentation, but she
is busily engaged each day in her
chosen work as Alumni Secretary.

When I think of Mabel, I think of
one who paints a beautiful picture and
when finished, purposefully neglects
to place her name in the lower right
hand corner.

But most of all, I think of a state-
ment written by Elder H. E. Douglas

In Alumn! Office.

in a recent Review and Herald editorial.
He stated, "The task of the Seventh-
day Adventist Church is to present a
quality of life before the world that
Jesus can one day call a reasonable re-
production of His own. For this, all
heaven waits."

Mabel Wood, we want you to come
up now and be honored, for you have
shown us that quality of life. You are
an inspiration to those of us who work
with you, and tonight it is our greatest
joy to honor you.

SMC Board
Plans Progress

At SMC's Board of Trustees semi-
annual session recently, Dr. Knittel,
SMC's academic dean, announced plans
for consolidating the two-year and
four-year nursing programs by 1971.

Under the united system, students
would all begin in the same program,
but some could terminate their study at
the two-year or associate degree level,
while others could continue on for the
four-year or baccalaureate degree.

Dr. Futcher, dean of admissions and
records gave the final enrollment at the
Board session. As of Sept. 21, three
weeks after school started, the total was
1334. This is 25 above last year.

General manager Charles Fleming,
Jr., reported a successful operating
year. The College is in a very sound
position financially. It has paid all
bills promptly (and discounted those
eligible for discounts) for the past 15
years. Although the educational pro-
gram— with subsidies — fails to break
even, the subsidiary corporations show
sufficient profit annually to result in a
net surplus.

The Board voted priorities for its
continuing expansion plan. First on
the list is a warehouse. Construction
is to begin immediately on the new
home economics building which is to
occupy the site of the old Collegedale
Academy building.
