THE PILOT
DECEMBER, 1951
Campus Big Wheels
Jim Weaver Mollie Hawkins
home to investigate a small leak
er in this publication’s vernacular,
a Big Wheel. Anyway, it was in
1931, an odd year, that Jim Weaver
was born in the bestest city in the
country.
Four years of his life were spent in
the Washington and Lee High
School in Arlington where Jim did
much work with radio his last two
years. He has worked for two sum
mers with The Washington Times
Herald as a photographer which he
considers his most interesting and
varied work behind the camera.
While in this work he has had the
privilege of interviewing such per
sonalities as Bob Hope, Marta To-
ren, Vic Damone, and Jane Powell.
His prize photographs are the ones
he did of President Truman and V.
President Barkley. Last summer Jim
had his own business which consist
ed largely of portraitures, his new
est interest in photography. In ad
dition, he has illustrated two ar
ticles for Woman’s Day magazine.
Well, Gardner-Webb’s gain was
brother George’s loss when Jim de
cided to matriculate here last Janu- I
eiry. He is doing sglendid work in
the Public Relation’s Department |
as school photographer and is add- |
ing much to the success of the 1952
Anchor and Pilot. I
His life-long ambitions have been
to learn to fly an airplane and to
invent a liquid compound that would
completely abolish the razor, but, j
practically speaking. Weaver would ■
like to go into the advertising busi- !
ness and plans to major in journa
lism at U. N. C. next fall.
Mollie (Dorothy Dix) Hawkins
ain’t ever done nothing, ain’t never
been no where—but she’s one of
the biggest wheels on the campus.
During her freshman year she was
in the Y. W. A., Choir, Glee Club,
Home Ec Club and Christian Volun
teer Band. This year she became
Music Director on the B. S. U.
Council, an active Marshal in the
Marshal Club, a member of the
House Council (West Wing Hall-
proctor), a Homecoming sponsor,
and a Superlative. Mollie says the
best way to like college is to keep
busy and get into everything you
can, even though you have to miss
being on the “A” Honor Roll by a
few points. The way she sees it is
that much experience is gained in
this way which will be of consider
able more value in the future.
Mollie loves to sing and talk and
live and learn and love. She also
loves nursing, and her work at the
clinic, playing basketball, domestic
science, and religious education in
particular.
She doesn’t know exactly what
the future holds, but she will do
it all with the best of her ability.
Maybe she’ll go to Carson-Newman,
and then again she might not. At
any rate, we West Winger’s know
from experience that her work for ■
Christ in the future will be done
triumphantly.

Last week the sophomore class
had its first meeting of the year

sided at the meeting.
The following class officers were
elected: Bobby Pettyjohn, Summer

Gastonia, Vice-president; and Jo-
nelle Teague, Hickory, Secretary-
Treasurer.
Then came the election of six boys
and six girls to serve as sophomore

Lynchbm-g, Va.; Faith Johnson,
Magnoila; Doris Adair, Gastonia;

Bell-Hop-Bates says his girlfriend
las a hotel heart—
“Always room for one more.”
Mary Lynn Methfessel — A thin
ner Porthole
Shirley Dedmon — More school
Charles Hicks — A track team
Coach Bradburn — Hire a few
good looking unmarried female tea
chers around here and give me my
Joanne Kincaid — “Rudy ”
Faith Johnson — More and better
phones
Dot Robertson — Guess!
Ernie Diaz — Rebuild the new
school
Eloise Bumgarner — More co-ope-
from Decker Hall on Friday
and Saturday nights
Phil Elliott, Jr. — In view of the
position I’m in, I think the place is
fine
Jonelle Teague — Boys should not
be privileged to have more than one
week-end off campus per month
Carolyn Harless — Boys should
not have any week-ends off cam-

Could it be that this is the real
thing, Charles and Jo Lena? Looks
that way to us. Martha Coffey
seems to have taken a sudden in
terest in basketball, Don Elliott
wouldn’t have anything to do with
that, would he, Martha? We won
der how many girls have heard these
words from Bill Wallace, “If it
weren’t for Sue, I could go for you.”
Fitzpatrick really goes for blond
hair, especially when it is on a girl
named Rebecca. Frances Rhyne was
fissing from the campus last week
end and she didn’t go home, either.
How’s everything in Winston-Salem,
Jonelle really goes for a Queen in
other ways besides a part in the
play. Billie Sue Richardson seems
to be getting regular telephone calls ;
as well as letters from Davidson.'
Speaking of regular letters, how j
many does Frances Phillips get a'
day? We’ve heard as high as three '
or four. Martha Hawkins, could those
sparkles in your eyes be transform- ■
ed to your finger by Santa Claus?
We’ve heard rumors to that ef- I
feet. Anothei victory for West Wing.
Joan Rhinehardt seems to have cap- I
tured “Little Deac’s” heart, for the [
moment at least.
Cathy Prince must get a new pic
ture every new moon. At least we
notice something new has been ad
ded to her desk. Hey. C. D., how
about coming to breakfast a little
earlier, Nell begins to have a look
of disgust on her face at about five
minutes to eight. Sleigh bells aren’t
the only kind of bells that will be
ringing for Faye Evans at Christ-
Wonder why Bob Myers and Tom
my Beard are so bashful—come on,
boys, give the girls a break. Too bad
the bus drivers on our trip to High
Point were married, they were cute,
weren’t they, girls?
Margaret Swann, what do you
mean when you say you have to
write that letter? Speaking of get
ting mail, Doris Workman and Pol
ly Williams were awfully excited at
mail call the other day. Peggy Love
e get-
girls were glad
to have Gerldie and Billie Sue from
Brunswick, Georgia, to go to High
Point with us. Some girls were real
ly “tearing up Jack” the other night
in the Shop — better watch it,
Meacham.
Well, kids, the Editor is yelling for
copy so w-a-t-c-h it, you might see
your name here next time.
Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year
The Three Muskateers.
P.S. Harvey, the great Romeo of
G-W, must have gotten his dates
mixed up the other night ’cause he
sure did have a wild goose chase—
and it ended up with no goose.
Diaz and Brady seemed to be hav
ing a heap big time on the back of
the truck last week. Wonder why
they wanted two girls each?
Does Gamble still get letters from
Carsi
i-Newr
Janice Pigford — A revival in the
hearts of the students
Henry Smith — We need jnore
brunettes — gentlemen prefer bru-
you want some money.”
Daughter: “Well isn’t that o
enough?”
Carolyn Harless the old photograph
er’s eye. I wonder why Patricia
Smith gets a gleam in her eyes when
A1 Cobb steps into the scene. It
seems that at least one freshman
girl has succeeded in getting a stea
dy boy friend, huh, Mildred Laney?
Martha Stone, don’t take it to heart
what Mrs. Pierce said to you about
getting a date, where there is life,
there is hope. Small world we live
in, can’t see why Wilkie Melton
didn’t discover Pat Withers in Gas
tonia, or could it be that he had
other interests? Since football sea
son, Nancy Lincoln certainly has
taken an interest in the library.
Molly, let’s please try to be ready so
Jim won’t have to sit in the parlor
Mary we add our congratulations
to those already offered to Jim Huff-
stettler. Seems as if Mars Hill and
Gardner-Webb are competitors in
more ways than one, huh. Bob Mul-
key? Bobby Heffner, are you try
ing to wrangle an invitation for a
Christmas in Florida? Oh, well, there
are more ways to skin a rabbit than
one. How do the girls on Second
Floor do it? Steady boy friends on
three or four campuses at one time!
Say, Joyce Hines, why were you so
anxious to go home last weekend?
Could you have had some “motiva
tion”? Wonder why Annette Har
ry’s mind is in the air—could be a
certain guy in the Air Corps, maybe.
Anne Pack sure made a fuss about
' taking her Carson-Newamn emblem
off her sweater, she must have an
1 interest there.

A retail dealer in stoves wrote to
the factory, ordering a carload of
stoves. The firm wired him: “Can
not ship stoves until you pay for
your last consignment.”
“Unable to wait that long,” wired
back the dealer. “Cancel order.'
