Puckett, who has recently begun his editorship of the “Biblical Recorder” began his speech addressing the families of the summer school graduates. “The families of the graduates will not receive degrees here today,” he said, but “in a real sense, this is a moment of honor and achievement for them.” Indeed it was a special moment for all those at tending the 10 a.m. ceremony at Boiling Springs Baptist Church. “To those graduating, it is the end of a iong and demanding journey of one era of life, and the first step in the beginning of another,” Puckett said. This was Puckett’s first speech as editor of the “Recorder.” His address emphasized to students the importance of living life to the fullest. President Craven E. Williams and Dr. John R. Drayer, vice president for academic affairs, par ticipated in the conferring of degrees. There were 44 students receiving .bachelor of science degrees; 9 receiving bachelor of arts degrees and 12 students receiving their master of arts degrees. The Detail Man Cleaning house for 500 guests between breakfast and lunch, arranging tables and chairs for a wedding party that af ternoon, then doing the same for another wedding after supper — all in a day’s work for J.D. Huggins. The house is Boiling Springs First Baptist Church, where Huggins, 74, has worked since his retirement in 1973 as an educator. Last Saturday his behind-the-scenes housekeeping kept people moving smoothly through the church, where two weddings followed the 500- plus crowd for Gardner- Webb College’s graduation ceremonies. “He’s the most con scientious person I’ve ever known,” says First Baptist pastor Rev. T. Max Lin- nens. Huggins, together with James McSwain, is responsible for arranging tables, chairs, and other equipment for special events on the church’s calender. “I suppose, like Martha in the Bible, I’s concerned with details,” Huggins laughs. In the Bible, Martha was “cumbered about with much serving.” Huggins’ position in other denominations is called a sexton, whose original task was bell ringing at Catholic and Episcopal churches. Asked last week to name his job at First Baptist Church, Huggings smiled and said, “I think you would spell it c-u-s-t-o-d-i-a-n.” Sexton or custodian, Huggins “does an excellent job of keeping the church in Shop, physics, English, geometry — Huggins taught “everything that needed to be taught” ac cording to Mrs. Cothenia Jolley, guidance couselor at Crest High. By Mrs. Jolley’s count, Huggins taught at least 12 subjects during his career. Prior to teaching at Crest, Huggins was principal at the old Polkville School. “I suppose I’m like Mar tha in the Bi ble. ” Huggins career followed his father’s, the late James Dwyre Huggins, the first principal of Boiling Springs High School and the first dean of Boiling Springs Junior College.“Many students could hardly conceive of the college without Professor Huggins,” wrote a later historian of Gardner-Webb. J. D. Huggins tip-top condition,” Linnens said. “He does a lot of the repair work himself, using the knowledge he taught Crest High School students as a shop teacher for years.” The younger J.D. Huggins at 74 is a small, quick man. He can rapidly recall a casual acquain tance he met a year ago, a conversation nearly fifty years back with local author W.J. Cash, or an upcoming event on next week’s church calender. “Efficiency is at the top of his list,” agrees Rev. Linnens. Town Topics Town council voted Tues day night to take informal bids for resurfacing four Boiling Springs streets and heard complaints from a local couple on the quality of the town’s drinking water. Ken and Margie Hamilton brought a clogg ed water pipe on the coun cil table. The couple said the pipe, taken from their refrigerator, was blocked with sediment in the town’s waterline to their house. Hamilton and another resident, Ed Abdow, also complained of a bad smell and taste to the town’s water. “Shelby draws their water from the old, muddy Broad,” Hamilton said, “and it tastes a lot better than our water.” Town engineer Marion Packard said the poor taste and smell came from old, galvanized water pipes. “We really can’t do anything about it,” he said, “unless we replace the two- inch galvanized lines at ter rific expense.” Packard and the council recommended that the cou ple buy a water filter for their line. The four streets council voted open for bids are: Pinecrest, Cove, Hamrick, and North Hillcrest, for a total of 4355 feet. Council then went into an hour’s closed session “to discuss personnel mat ters.” No action was taken. “IHeard It At The Crossroads” Don’t forget that birth day or anniversary — just remember to list the im portant date on the Lion’s Club calender.
