PAGE SIX THE P I L OT OCTOBER, 1950 Campus Big Wheels unfortunates in other ways. The total membership of the church is 655 and )the enrollment of the Sunday school numbers 416 with an average attendance of 224. Various organizations, among them the Bap tist Training Union, the Baptist Brotherhood, and the Missionary Union with 115 members meet on Sunday night or through the week. The activities of the church are divided among 25 committees. Also, the church sponsors gatherings on soil conservation, 4-H Clubs, Grange, and home demonstration clubs which meet at the community horse. Olive Chapel provides not only the spiritual needs of its mem bers, but also teaches them new and better farming and homemak- ing practices. The new department will offer two college courses, and a special night course. The two college courses will be Church Administra tion and Community Development. The night course is called “A Church at Work in its Community” and church leaders form more ef fective paths of work and endeavor in their churches. There will also be a discussion course in which ex- j periences, successes, and failures will be aired among the group. New aid for the course will be made available at the library. These will include such things as books on rural and industrial community life and church work, a loose leaf encyclopedia of ideas on rural and industrial life, visual aids, special surveys and research materials, building plans for churches and par sonages, and an up to date bulle- ^in service. A rural and industrial life encyclopedia is being compil ed by Hendricks from letters and papers he has collected during the past decade. The encyclopedia will include personal comments from some of the finest men in the na tion in the field of rural church Rev. Hendricks has been appoint ed by Gov. Scott and invited by president Truman to attend the^ mid-century White House Coi^ ference on Children and Young People, for bettering the welfare of tl>e nations children Deo. 3 through 7. Perhaps the best theme for the new Department Church-Commun ity Development comes from Ar thur Morgan’s The Small Commun ity with which Hendricks conclud ed a study he made in 1948: “In modern times the small community has played the part of an orphan in an unfriendly world. It has been despised, neglected, exploited, rob bed. The cities have skimmed off the cream of its young population. Yet the small community has sup plied the lifeblood of civilization, and neglect of it has been one of the primary reasons for the slow ness and the interrupted course of human progress. It is high time that the fundamental significance of the small community be recognized.” Frank Wilson Sincerity and humility are two of Prank Wilson’s most marked qualities, and they color everything he says or does. He belongs to that devout few who practice what they preach. Don’t get the idea, how ever, that he is solemn to the ex tent of being a kill-joy. His sparkl ing sense of humor and unbounded iasm make him popular both boys and girls. A quiet, .ner frequently mis- j thinking him shy, but nothing could be farther from the truth. On occasion he is quite capable of “shooting a good line of high-grade bull,” and of holding his own in a high-spirited argu ment. The three most often heard remarks concerning Frank are that he is a Christian fellow, a regular Joe, and all right guy. Frank modestly belittles the role he played in high school. In his own words, “I lived for baseball and baseball alone.” He was both popu lar and successful on the mound for Gastonia High School. In 1946 he hurled his team to the state cham pionship. Again in 1947, his senior year, as Gastonia’s 5’6”, 135 lb. dy namo, his brilliant pitching was in strumental in bringing the state championship back to Gastonia. relief pitching for G. W. last year will tell you he puts everything he has into every pitch he makes. After working for two years, he received his call to the ministry, and enrolled in G. W. for the fall term in 1949. His record here has been enviable. As president of the B.S.U., he has inspired the entire organization to greater heights of service. Upon graduation from G. W. next spring, he plans to enroll in Carson-Newman. After that, he has no definite plans, but he is considering attending aouthwest- ern Baptist Theological Seminary in Texas. Regardless of his final de cisions, we are destined to lose a wonderful pitcher, and the world ig destined to gain a crusading man Agnes Mull Agnes Mull is the sort of person 1 who takes everything seriously but herself. This unusual trait of be ing able to laugh at her troubles while sympathizing with those of others has endeared her to pactic- ally everyone on the campus. Two other things; Agnes is always busy and usually laughing. In fact, when work is mentioned, a goodly por tion of our students and faculty automatically think of Agnes. She prides herself on being a moun- tain-girl. Her monologues about her hill-billy background and neighbors are quite amusing, especially the facial contortions which she em ploys to illustrate her yarns. To sum everything up, she is a well- rounded person and personality. A look at her high school record is startling. How could anyone per son do so many things so well? Her activities ranged all the way from president of the Beta Club to directing her junior class play and starring in her senior class play. In addition she was secretary and treasurer of her junior and senior classes, editor of the yearbook, and played four years of varsity basket ball serving as co-captain. The scholastic record she made was above reproach. Then, too, from all reports we have had, she must have had as much fun as ai her classmates. Her achieven have been just honor-roll isn’t complete without her name, and faculty : ’ — LR.C. Endorses MacArthur Move After a spirited session of debate, 1 ■ the International Relations Club ' of Gardner-Webb voted last week to go on record as endorsing the United Nation’s crossing of the 38th parallel in Korea as the “wisest and safest” decision which could have been made under the circum stances. The supporting majority was lead by Mr. Loyd Hales and Mr. Kenneth Dettmar. They argu ed that failure to cross the 38th parallel of Korea would be nothing than an invitation to future agression by the regrouping Com munist of North Korea. The sup porting group further said that the failure to cross the 38th parallel would constitute a default of the United Nations’ obligation to re establish free and democratic gov ernment for the whole of Korea. j four of lution were lead in the debate by Mr. Bob Ward, Mr. Robert Wright, and Mrs. Andy Sealey. The oppos- nig members maintained stoutly that the decision to cross the 38th parallel was an unnecessary risk which might involve the United Na tions in a war with Red China. They said that the very least we could expect was a long guerrilla war in North Korea after we crossed the 38th parallel. The final vote on the resolution ; here ; G.W.

During the half, the Cherryville and Kings Mountain High School bands gave a spectacular perform ance displaying skillful drills.

A Rat's Views Of Rat Day By ELEANOR COGDILL Rat Day was ushered in with a bang one Tuesday morning a few weeks ago — the bang being the slamming of doors, feet tramping across the campus, and the shout ing of “Rats, rats, rats!” We couldn’t be certain if it was Pha- roah’s army or the Pied Piper of Hamilton calling all humble beings to follow him. Well, we soon found out. It was the most honorable upperclassmen who were going to take advantage of us poor “rats” that day, and who wanted to get it off with an early start. The first gathering place for us creatures, and where we got the finishing touches of make-up, was in front of the E. B. Hamrick Build ing. And as if we didn’t have enough to do under our physical education teacher. Miss Morgan, we girls, with the capable direction of Jonelle Teague gave a sample of what good students we are. Thus began the hardships of the day. Of course we couldn’t let the tea chers out so easily, so about 4:30 we lined up two by two and head ed for their houses. First came the G. I. apartments to get some of our fellow students out of bed. Then came the teachers’ houses. After we succeeded in waking most of them, we marched back to the dorm and woke the others who were lucky enough to sleep through it all. By this time, we had worked up a good appetite, but, being Rats, we couldn’t enjoy our meal. Trying to eat soft done eggs with a knife isn’t easy. And there were so many interruptions — the sophomores were really making good use of our humble service. During class, everything happen ed from trying to wake the stu dents up with alarm clocks to tell ing our professors that they didn’t know what they were talking about. Goodness knows how many poor boys were cornered with a .22 and forced to propose! Then came what was probably the most looked-forward-to event of the day—Rat Court. With Your Honor, Wade Sparks, presiding over the court, the law breakers were given their due punishment. Then came lunch and the big job of the day — trying to eat peas with a knife. How we Rats envied the “most honorable upper class- G. T. McSWAIN'S CASH STORE • Groceries • Meats • Furniture • School Supplies BOILING SPRINGS, N. C. men’’ sitting back in perfect ease listening to Frances Rhjme’s ren dition of “You’ll Never Know,” while we struggled through those peas! The meal was completed with a long, low howl from Rachel Mor gan. After lunch came the big disap pointment of the day. We were made to spend our last cent just to try to get on the good side of our superiors. Filling them up with ice cream and cokes was much to their pleasure and much to our regret. At 1:45 we could try to get rid of the grease paint that covered our faces and the attire which was looked upon with much apprasial. We Rats had made history.
