Not one of us have cause to doubt the biological value of an ear. Those little protrusions on each side of the head are things which none of us would willingly do without. We pity him who cannot hear. The ability to hear the rustle of the wind in the trees, the song of a bird, the patter of rain on the roof, the kind words of a friend, or the mellow tones of a violin are prized by all of us. But how many of us know the value of an ear which is willing to hear? There is the problem of parents and teachers. Certainly a time comes in life when we learn that we must hear and heed the advice of our own and of other’s better judgment. This wisdom often comes after many years spent using the costly trial and error method of learning. The old adage says this in a terse statement, “Experi ence is a dear school and fools learn in no other.’’ How for tunate is the youth who has been taught to hear and heed the advice of his elders and superiors! What a price is paid by the possessor of an unwilling ear in lost opportunities, wasted lives, and saddened hearts! How tragic it is that there are those who have eyes and see not, and ears and hear not! Insane asylums, penitentiaries, county homes and j streets are full of people who would not hear the call of the best within them, nor heed the advice of those who sought to help them. The boy or girl who is willing to hear avoids much that is troublesome in life. The converted drunkard may make a wonderful preacher and wield a powerful influence for good, but he is always haunted by the sins committed upon himself, and upon those within his sphere of influence, be fore his conversion. He heard, but too late! How much better it is early in life to see the goal far ahead and steadily build our lives toward that goal, growing in grace day by day! This does not call for a life of drudgery, but rather a happy life devoted to useful things, whose latter days are not spent in bewailing lost opportunities and aton ing for past mistakes.

PUBLIC (Continued from Page One) conversation. All visitors, appar ently, knew some one at Gardner- Webb and were Interested in the college. Questions Hew thick and fast, and the students eagerly re sponded as fully as possible. Ex pressions of approval and favor able comments were welcomed by the students. Senator Hoey was one of those who complimented the booth. POP QUIZ One man inquired as to the pos sibility of his entering the school, uhereby giving one of the hostesses a chance to expatiate on the school. After she had given her “pep talk,” he revealed the fact [hat he was an alumnus of the college and had served on the Board of Trustees. The Pair furnished Gardner- Webb with an excellent opportun ity of serving the public with its much-needed lounge. Thanks go [0 Maxwell, Morris, and Kennedy ior providing the furniture for the college. The booth was made pos sible through the courtesy of Dr. J. S. Dorton, O. Max Gardner, Jr., and Leonard Allen, College Busi ness Manager. Fifty-two students have been se lected for membership in the 1947- 48 choir of Gardner-Webb Junior oollege, Stephen Morrisette, direc tor, announced today. Final selection was revealed aft er two days of try-outs and Direc tor Morrisett states that talent thus far exhibited points to an other year as successful as 1946 when the chorus drew the praise of concert audiences throughout Western North Carolina. The new organization, com posed of freshmen and sopho mores, will be on call within a month and several concerts are already being planned on the campus at Boiling Springs. A new pipe organ, recently in stalled, will accompany the choir in its appearances at home. The new choir was chosen from a student body of 378, registered for the Baptist institution’s fall Leim. ihs following students are now engaged in practice sessions for Che fall tours: i^lara Pae Andrews, West Polo Road, Winston-Salem; Kenneth Archer, Cornelius; Elsie Bellsieper, Tampa, Florida; Sue Black, Waco; Robert Blanton and Elizabeth Blanton, Lattimore; Dorothy Bos tic, Gaffney, S.

(All towns are in North Caro lina unless otherwise indicated), Guidance Program Is Underway Here WHY A JUNIOR COLLEGE? Picture in your mind a young high school graduate, sixteen years old. She is undecided about the future. What can the junior college do for her? In the junior college there isn’t a soul on the campus from the cook to the president that you don’t know person ally. There is direct contact with faculty members and students; this is quite valuable. A sympathetic attitude toward students is always pre valent in the junior college. The administration cares whether or not the student is passing. College officials establish a personal contact with the public and are anxious to advise him concerning his problems as long as he re mains in school. For many students the span between high school and university is too great. As a result many have “flunked.” The junior college is anxious to help students bridge the wide span between high school and university. It offers valuable training for students interested in the two year terminal course and for the students inter ested in entering senior colleges and universities as well. Today the junior college continues to move forward with a noble purpose and continuous progress. —Mary Grace Queen—1945. SCHOOL (Continued from Page One) should be reaay ror occupancy late Lius year. The trustees are wrest ling with the problems of new ouildings. Those nearest the prob lems feel that more buildings, either temporary or permanent, must be had, or the school will be lOrced to retrench. The endowment campaign is lag ging. To meet our obligation to the convention $250,000 must be in hand by November, 1948. The committee appointed by the trustees has designated October 27 as Founders’ Day since it was on [hat day in 1905 that the trustees of the Kings Mountain and Sandy Run Association held their first joint meeting at Boiling Springs. The day will be fittingly celebrated this year. The Clyde R. Hoey speech con test among the high schools of Cleveland county has been invited to hold its sessions at Gardner- Webb. A basketball tournament is a possibility. Dorm Wings To Be Finished In Winter Mr. R. H. Seagers, Construction engineer of The Robert H. Pinnix Construction Co. of Gastonia, N. C., announced today that the con struction of the two wings to what is now the Veterans’ Dormitory would be completed on or about February 1, 1948. Each wing will be a one story building, with twelve rooms, a lounge, and a kitchenette for re freshments. Each wing will be 116 feet long and 37 feet, 2 1-2 inches wide. The rooms will be 14 feet square. Materials for completion of the building are being secured as need ed, so there will be no shortage of materials. The cost is estimated at $80,000. PHYSICS COURSE ADDED A course in Physics has been added to the curriculum at Gard ner-Webb this year. Mr. Noel Carr of Chattanooga, Tennessee is the teacher. The material for the course has had to be secured from the very beginning. Much equipment has been ordered and quite a bit has been secured from various other sources. The classes and laboratories are met in the basement of the Huggins-Curtis Hall. The addition of this course is a great improvement, since it j will take care of some of the! needs of pre-engineer students.

CHURCH (Continued from Page One) phen Morrisett, sang “Old Black Joe.” All the group met in the cen ter of the room and sang three songs, “Swing Low, Sweet Char iot,” “My Old Kentucky Home,” and “Dixie.” Refreshments were served and the group was dismiss ed by singing “Blest be the Tie that Binds.” That discipline is guidance is a basic principle upon which Gard- nsr-Weob operates. In keeping with this conception our college launches forth with a definite pro gram of guidance under the capa- ole leadership of Dr. Robert Allen Dyer. 'Ihe main objective of the pro gram is to provide individual guid ance for every student enrolled in Che college. This is being effec tively handled by placing each student in close contact with at ieast one member of the faculty. Each student, therefore, has been assigned to a counsellor with whom he will meet once each month in a general group meeting at a scheduled time and at least once each month for a personal con ference. In this role the coun sellor is more than a teacher. He is also the student’s con fidant and friend. It is the plan for the student to share his problems in every realm of life with his counsellor in a confidential way so that a solu tion may be reached for the highest possible good of the student. The Department of Guidance be gan is program by giving each student a series of tests which appraise his general intellectual ability, his personality adjustment, and his vocational preferences. The results of the tests are valuable to the counsellors as they lead the students in making wholesome ad justments to college life and plan ning their vocational courses. The success and effectiveness of this method is not hearsay but has been tried and proven in many of the larger colleges and univer sities throughout the nation. An office with student personnel files is maintained by the Depart ment of Guidance for the benefit of both counsellors and students. According to Dr. Dyer, director of the program, both students and faculty are cooperating with the program and even now its progress is gratifying. Dr. Wayne Oates, authority on guidance, who is connected with the Baptist Hospital in Winston- Salem, will spend Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week on our campus, where he will di rect a Guidance Clinic. LYCEUM PLANNED The first lyceum of Gardner- Webb’s 1947-48 season will be giv en on Octboer 20, 1947, by Carola Bell Williams, dramatic mono- loguist.
