The Freshman class met in
the E. B. Hamrick Auditor
ium following chapel January
5, 1945. President Marjorie
White presided and recogniz
ed Willard Jenkins. He asked
for suggestions for the con
tents of the Freshman page
in the Anchor. It was decided
that a letter of commendation
of the sophomores be used in
the annual. The business of
electing a class sponsor was
carried out, and Miss Frances

TO GET PENNANTS
At the December meeting
of the Athenean Ehamsaeur
Literary Society the members
planned to get pennants bear
ing the name of their society.
The A. R.’s will now be
spotted by the pennants on
the backs of their books and
notebooks. The words Athe
nean Rhamsaeur Society are
in blue printed on a white
background with a blue
border around the entire edge
of the pennant.
There is a story of an old
Scottish weaver who always
made this prayer: “0 God,
help me to hold a high opinion
of myself.”
Professor Stacy: “Why
don’t you answer me ?”
Student: “I did, professor.
I shook my head.”
Professor Stacy: “But you
don’t expect me to hear it
rattle way up here, do you?”
Friday nignt, January 5,
began anotner sports event of
tne scnool year lor tne W. A.
A. UasKecbaii, me sport of
sports, got underway on our
campus with a game between
tne ireshman and sopnomore
gins. I'ne vivid cneer-ieaders
in our scnool colors, blacK and
red, on tne sidelines boosted
tne teams into a very spirit
ed game.
Irony Costner was star
player for tne sopnomores
leading as hign scorer witn 8
points. Speedy Nancy Trout
qid ner bit lor tne iresnmen
and also was hign scorer for
tne game.
Beiore the game the teams
organized tnemselves, elect
ing captain and manager. 1^'or
tne sopnomores Poliy Camp
was cnosen captain and Mar
garet Roberts manager. The
Ireshmen elected tneir cap
tain Katherine Crawford and
iViarjorie White, manager.
Tne remainder of tne sea
son should be as exciting as
the first with such sports
manship and cooperation that
was shown. The teams were
both so nearly equal that
everyone was in doubt as to
the outcome would be. The
score at the half was 11 to 7,
sophomores.
The Sophomore class took
victory .over the first game
with a 19-18 score.

We need the peace of God
in our heart just as really for
the doing well of the little
things in our secular life as
for the doing of the greatest
duties of Christ’s kingdom.
Our face ought to shine, and
our spirit ought to be tran
quil, and our eyes ought to be
clear, and our nerves ought
to be steady, as we press
through the tasks of our com
monest day. Then we shall do
them as well, slurring noth
ing, marring nothing. We
want heart peace before we
begin any day’s duties, and
we should wait at Christ’s
feet ere we go forth.—Dr. J.
R. Miller.
TRUE!
“Refuse to open your purse
and soon you cannot open your
sympathy. Refuse to give,
and soon you will cease to en
joy that which you have. Re
fuse to love, and you lose the
power to love and be loved.
Withhold your affections and
you become a moral paralytic.
But the moment you open
wider the door of , your life,
and like the rose, send out
without stint your fragrance
and beauty, you let the sun
shine of your life into your
own soul.”—Selected.
In order to have some ex
citement and to test their
strength and ability as bas
ketball players, the sopho
more boys and the freshman
boys clashed in a o"ne-sided,
but well-played game Friday
night, January 5. Although
the sophomores exceeded the
freshmen in height and skill,
their victory was not an ex-
' eptionally easy one.
The sophomores were fast
in taking the lead at the be
ginning of the game, and at
half-time they still seemed to
possess the ball, with thfe
freshmen trailing 20 to 5. But
the freshmen buckled down in
the last half of the game and
scored only 3 points less than
the sophomores with the
final tally reading 33 to 15.
Shining for the sopho
mores was J. T. Jones, Jr.,
leading his team with a high
score of 14 points. No indivi
dual starred on the freshman
team, although Blanton,
J. Hoyle and C. Jolley led with
4 points each. Each team
worked together nicely, with
each man performing his
duties well.
Small but fast Carl Jolley
and Eugene Hoyle, freshman
and sopnomore guards res
pectively, played very nicely
irom tne time of the starting
whistle until the end of
the game. Both seemed very
calm and steady during
pressing moments. If tney

BASKETBALL
PLANS MADE
BY NEW LEADERS
The Gardner-Webb boys
decided that in order to have
a good basketball team they
must have some good leaders.
They met and elected Sam
Greene, Jr., and J. T. Jones,
Jr. as co-captains and Bob
Beason and Billy Pegram as
co-managers. Also the boy’s
Athletic Association was or
ganized and some rules made
concerning basketball activi
ties.
After going through
some strenuous workouts
lately the team is almost
in shape for a game. With
a few more stiff practices
they will be ready for a
full schedule. So far they
look very good, and with
the grand performances
of our co-captains, stars
from last year’s team, we
are sure we will have a
great season filled with
victories for the G.-W.
Bulldogs.
With so many good new
comers out to play, it is very
difficult to decide who will be
on the first team. Each play
er will probably play on the
first team at one time or oth
er throughout the season.
All the boys are happy to
have B. E. “Pop” Simmons as
their coach, and under his
splendid leadership it seems
likely the Bulldogs will have
a team not surpassed by any.

BSU CARRIES ON Cathedrals And
EXTENSION WORK Christianity
On December 17, the mis
sionary students of Gardner-
Webb once again journeyed to
Shelby to do some extension
work for our B. S. U. But this
time they did not stop in
Shelby.
Mr. Mode met them at the
bus station and carried them
over to the colored prison
camp. Some of them had never
been to a prison camp before,
and it was very exciting for
them. But, most of all, they
realized that they were there
for something more than ex
citement. They gave their
personal testimonies and sang
some songs. The colored boys
seemed to receive a great
blessings. When they saw
those men come in with
chains and stripes on, to
hear more about Christ,
somehow it gave them a
greater determination to do
more extension work under
the B. S. U.’s leadership.
Those taking part in this trip
were: Dorothy Franklin,
Ovella Benefield, Polly
Schook, Mary Kate Bostic,
Marjorie White, Beatrice Wil
son, Myrtle Whitaker, and
Emma Sue Milard. They
came back to our campus with
more love and a new strength
to work!
Another phase of extension
work through the B. S. U. is
the observation of Student
Night at Christmas. It wasn’t
possible for all members to
observe it, but Ruby Connor,
our first vice president, did
observe it at her church. It
turned out very successful.
They feel that the church
knows more about the B. S.
U. and its purpose since their
program.
The B. S. U. is still trying
to hold its distinction of hav
ing first Magnitude. We hope
to continue to hold this dis
tinction throughout the year.
The world in the past has
made the mistake of think
ing that Christianity could
be embalmed in the frozen
splendor of architecture. But
cathedrals do -not mean the
preservation of Christianity.
We can have cathedrals and
lose Christianity. Our Baptist
people should keep in mind
the fact that a great church
building does not always
mean a great church when
measured from the Christian
point of view. A press dis
patch states that the Cathe
dral of St. John the Divine
in New York City has open
ed one section of that great
building to the public. Nine
teen million dollars have been
spent so far in its construc
tion and it will take ten mil
lion more to complete it.
When finished it will be one
of the world’s greatest cathe
drals, second only in size to
St. Peter’s in Rome. But what
about New York City? Does
that cathedral mean less
crime and more righteous
ness in tnat great center of
population ?

“Great characters have al
ways had this lofty self-es
teem.”
The president of an ocean
liner was taking a journey
across the water, and when
the ship entered a very dan
gerous channel he engaged
in a conversation with the
pilot, who, by the way, was a
whiskered old man of sixty-
eight, with all the appear
ance of having spent most of
his days on tne water. The
magnate remarked: “Suppose
you know all the dangerous
places in this channel?” The
pilot, looking straight out into
the night, gruffly replied:
“Nope”. “You don’t!” said
the magnate, very much sur
prised. “Then, why on earth
are you in charge of that
wheel? What do you know?”
“I know where the bad places
ain’t,” coolly replied the old
pilot, much to the satisfac
tion of the magnate.
