Music Is Greatest Interest Of Bible Professor By KEN ARCHER Less than five years ago a was sung on the banks of the Yad kin that flows from the hills of Tar Keelia to the surfs of the Atlantic. She loved music; he loved music; together they could sing and work and grow toward the goal of his dedication, and now her dedication —the work of the Creator—some where, somehow, some day. That somewhere is Gardner-Webb; that somehow is the able Bible teaching of the junior member of the Gardner-Webb Department of Religion; that some day is today. Professor Thomas L. Reece, member of the college faculty, is teaching and preaching and singing into a day-by-day realization of the dedication he made, the career he planned, the duet he formed with Mary Prances Apperson on the banks of the Yadkin less than five years ago. Mr. Reece came to Gardner-Webb in September, 1947, from Jones- ville N. C., the son of a Baptist minister. After graduating from Jonesville High School, he attended Mars Hill College. While at Mars Hill, he par ticipated in many extra-curricular activities, such as being a member of Philomathian Literary Society, a leading member of the Ministerial conference and the Volunteer Band and the Honor Club of the campus. “And the air was filled with mu sic—’’. This theme has run through the life of Professor Reece from an early age. While he was in school, music' played an important part in his campus life. Singing tenor in the College Glee Club was perhaps his most enjoyable extra-curricular activity. His love for music did not stop with college. One of his fa vorite pastimes in singing and listening to sacred and classical mu- Upon graduating from Mars Hill, Professor Reece became an out standing student at Wake Forest. While there, he was one of the charter members of the Wake Forest chapter of the Eta Sigma Phi Na tional Honorary Society for students of Classical Language. He major ed in English and minored in Latin. During his senior year at Wake Forest, Professor Reece was an as sistant in the Department of Re in 1944, Mr, Reece married Mary Frances Apperson, of Winston-Salem and Jonesville, and f6r six months was assistant pastor of the First Groans Again Issue From Girls “History repeats itself,” so it has been said and so is the occasion in girls physical education. At the be ginning of the school year, many of the girls struggled along with sore, weary bones as a result of the “con ditioning program” employed by Miss Morgan, and after a few weeks of bad weather, illness, and Christmas holidays, the girls had become rest ed from the usual drill of exercise received in physical education. With the New Year, came “Wham” physi cal education again plus sore joints plus much complaining from the poor victims of this course, which all must “endure.” It is said that the co-eds will be thankful for a little more bad weather if it will detain class in the gym so they’ll have a chance to recuperate. Maybe they should suggest having class more regularly so they could stay “in PROFESSOR THOMAS REESE Baptist Church of Elkin. At that time Professor Morrisett of the Bible department of Gardner-Webb was pastor of the church. Professor Reece went to the Louis ville Seminary in Louisville, Ken tucky, for his theological training. While there, he served as pastor of rural church for two years. Since coming to Gardner-Webb, [r. Reece has done much for the school and for the great cause to which he has dedicated himself. He lot limited his services to the oom alone. Last winter Profes-, sor Reece served as supply pastor ' East Side Baptist Church in Shel- and this past summer supplied Grover Church while the pastor was in Europe.

This rule permits the general election of officers once a semes- The new officers are: President: Marvin Willis Vice-president: Colleen Ostwalt Secretary-Treasurer: Jo Bradshaw Publicity Chairman: Cecil Thomp- uhoirster: Edgar Lineberger j Pianist: Evelyn Krause Committees will be appointed at EARLY RISERS The morning watch services held on the campus each morning at 7 o clock seem to have turned into a “lovers of nature” club. The early morning risers have viewed morn ings of exceptional beauty during Sunrises have turned the arch and campus buildings into perfect black silhouettes against a flaming red sky, with thick white fogs closing in the campus making it a world of its own. Probably very few have seen a moon- set such as the one revealed from Gardner-Webb campus—a pale full moon against the morning sky of blue and the fading stars. A true pic ture of “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork.” New Instructor For Biology Dept. Miss Marietta Hamrick, formerly laboratory assistant at the Univer sity of North Carolina, has joined the Gardner-Webb faculty to take the place of S. O. Trentham, who Jias joined the biology staff at Har- din-Simmon University in Abilene, Texas. Eoillng S _ dent here. She is a graduate of the University of North Carolina and has also done graduate work there. Before accepting her present posi tion at our college, she was a labora tory assistant at UNC. Significant facts were noted in the talk of the students in that some of them seemed to suddenly realize what a well-prepared and capable man we had as our biology profes sor. The simple fact that Mr. Trent ham was called to his present po sition at a school of the reputation of Hardin-Simmons is proof of his ability. Proof that Miss Hamrick is well qualified is also to be noted in that she holds an academic degree and has done extensive graduate work at UNC. She has a brilliant record as a laboratory assistant at the Univer sity of North Carolina. For the spring semester. Professor Paul Stacy will conduct the lecture periods and Miss Hamrick will sup ervise the laboratory work of the bi ology department. ENDING EACH DAY WITH VESPERS Quietness, reverence, and a feel ing of worship are to be found in the chapel each evening at 6:30. Ves pers is a time set aside when stu dents gather to worship and medi tate. If one would pause for a mom ent upon entering and realize that “God is in His Holy Temple,” the to the individual but to the campus as a whole. For all those who attend the vesper services regularly, it means all this and more too, be cause meditation refreshes the soul as water lends new life to the body.

The feeling of many of us is described in the poem by that poet of the com mon man, John Charles McNeill: “The School Boy” I wish I was a teacher So I could hold the book, f I din’ know how to spell a word I’d drop my eyes and look, f I din’ know how to work a sum The answer I could see md make the whole thing figger out Jis like it otter be. i, teacher has a easy time; Don’t have to hoe or cook, tn’ when she hears your lessons It’s her ’at holds the book.
