B. S. U. Retreat
(Continued from Page One)
we adjourned to the main
auditorium to hear Mrs. Owen
Herring, formerly, associate
Southwide Student Secretary,
speak on “Master’s Minority
Movement”. She made us
realize how big our world is,
and just what we can do for
Christ, as students.
On Saturday morning at
7:15 we walked through the
beautiful campus to the
Forest Theatre for morning
watch. God was so near to us
out there in the open with
walls of trees around us. Two
students from E. C. T. C., and
Mars Hill, gave us personal
testimonies of what God had
meant to theii- lives.
At 9:15 we returned to the
church for more miniatures
in contrast and the election
of the new state officers. We
were all thrilled when Flor
ence Gordon, student at W.
C. U. N. C., was elected pres
ident. After this we went
into group conferences to dis
cuss problems of B. S. U. and
to receive help on how to
carry on next year.
On Saturday afternoon we
enjoyed a worship concert
where we heard some of our
greatest composers play
some of our best religious
compositions. After this, Bob
by Barns from Mars Hill told
us of the Student Evangelis
tic week on their campus;
Judith Richards from A. S. T.
C., spoke on Volunteer Sum
mer Service; Ann Johns told
of Focus Week at Wake
Forest and Evelyn Straugh-
an gave us the mission work
at Meredith. These were all
inspirational.
On Saturday night we
witnessed the installation of
the new state officers. We
knfew that God’s presence was
in that service as these young
people accepted their chal
lenges for work next year.
After a worship program led
by Rev. Richard T. Howerton,
we went back to the lower
auditorium for a social with
the theme, “Beginner’s Art
Begins”, led by Elizabeth
Shelton from Meredith. This
was lots of fun and as our
colors blended we were able
to get acquainted with many
students.
When Sunday morning
came we were glad that we
could return to G.-W. to share
with you the experiences we
had had, but were reluctant
to leave. After Sunday school,
which was in form of a panel
discussion led by Mr. Hower
ton and various students, we
heard a very inspiring mes
sage on Vitalizing a Voval'i-
zation give by Dr. Kelly Bar
nett, pastor of the Baptist
church in Chapel Hill.
Those attending the re
treat from G.-W. were Louise
Martin, Dorothy Franklin,
Mrs. W. M. Dameron, Martha
Connor, Myrtle Whitaker,
Martha Lynn, and Marjorie
White.
More About The
Summer School
(Continued from Page One)
ity can be continued through
the six weeks of the summer
school. At a small extra cost
horseback riding and riding
lessons may be arranged. Stu
dents not familiar with moun
tain hiking should plan at
least one trip into the moun
tains while here.
Although we have not yet
employed a music teacher, if
as many as eight or ten
pupils apply for work in piano
or violin, such courses will be
provided and will carry the
usual credit hours for work
done in these subjects.

W. LAWSON ALLEN
The Pilot would not have
been successful this year
without the capable manage
ment and guidance of this
well-rounded individual. His
tolerance coupled with his
wit and humor makes him an
ideal person to work with.
Mr. Allen teaches Religious
Education and is director of
Religious Activity and is also
director of Student Activities.
He has studied at the Uni
versity of Tennessee and at
V/estern Carolina Teachers
College, where he received a
B. S. degree. He has also stu
died at the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary, from
which place he came here.
We, the staff of this year,
express our heartfelt thanks
to Mr. Allen for his help and
co-operation on the publica
tions of this year, and we
think the staff of next year
is very fortunate indeed to
have such a perfect sponsor,
even though he does have a
habit of condemning some
articles with a large red
“trite”!
MISS TOOLE
INSTRUCTS B. S. U.
Miss Marjorie Toole, stu
dent secretary at Appala
chian State Teachers College,
visited Gardner-Webb cam
pus. She came to instruct the
new B. S. U. council members
for their work of next year.
She held a conference with
each new council member in-
diivdually. In this conference,
she told them what would be
expected of them in their
special task. The information
proved very helpful, for she
is a very capable and likeable
person.
Miss Toole graduated from
a senior college in Florida,
after which she entered the
seminary at Louisville, Ken
tucky, where she finished her
graduate work as a major in
Religious Education.
We feel very fortunate to
have had such a person as
Miss Toole on our campus. A
study course was also given
for the new council members.
No Pilot For
July, August
With the June issue, the
Pilot suspends, publication for
the months of July and Au
gust. If you have enjoyed this
paper, will you not continue
to support it? We are plan
ning many improvements for
next year. For one thing, we
hope to have each month
some articles of interest to
the churches in helping to
forward the work of the
Sunday school. Training
Union, W. M. U., and the gen
eral work of the Kingdom.
Suggestions will receive
careful attention by the new
staff. The help of the readers
of the Pilot will be appre
ciated in making the paper
worthwhile to all the sub
scribers and friends. The
subscription price is carried
on the second page. Parents
are intetested in the doings
of the college campufe which
is home to one of their chil
dren. We will try to keep you
informed as to the happen
ings, items of interest, and
the spicy news that comes
from time to time.
The former students of
Gardner-Webb College, Boil
ing Springs Junior College or
Boiling Springs High School
are urged to contribute arti
cles, and news at any time.
Not only do we want to hear
of you but from you. We are
interested in following your
career during the remaining
college days or into the bus
iness and professional fields
into which you go. If you are
not willing to give us infor
mation about yourself, let us
have information about some
other person that you know
who attended the school.
It is very readily seen that
we waiii to make the Pilot
one of 't‘he very best college
periodicals in all the country
—something of which to be
proud. We will be satisfied
with nothing less.
We don’t have to wait until
next year to see results of her
visit. But, we know that next
year we will look back with
thankful hearts that Miss
Toole came. We feel as if our
B. S. U. council will be a
great success; because they
will have such a good starts
She had even gone so far as
to help map out the calendar
of events for the council to
use next year.
We owe our deepest appre
ciation and thanks to Miss
Toole for giving us such a
helpful visit.
