Bobby Pettyjohn Doris Adair
One of the major wheels in our
compact Gardner-Webb locomotive
is Bobby Pettyjohn of Summerville,
Georgia. Bob has a mark of sincer-
in- which is so vital in a progres
sive college student. His versatility
's also recognized by all those who
know him.
This versatility is evident in his
many hobbies — swimming, singing
(especially with the Georgia boys),
hunting, and football. His unique
character and natural friendliness
were considered when he was elect
ed by the Student Body to be Busi
ness Manager of the “Anchor," our
college yearbook. This is one of the
most important positions held by
students at Gardner-Webb. This job
well done will mean ultimate suc
cess of the “Anchor.”
Bob did not have to come to North
Carolina to be recognized. In high
school he was a much sought-after
student by fellow classmates, facul
ty, and, of course, girls. Tall, blue
eyed Pettyjohn was on the football
team three years making him a
member of the Monogram Club in
high school. Besides his interest in
sports he had time to be oa both
the annual and the paper staff, and
an officer of the Senior class. Sum
merville High voted him the Best-
all-Round student in his senior year.
All these high school accomplish
ments assured us of his future suc
cess at Gardner-Webb. Reporting
to football practice early last year,'
an unfortunate thing happened to
Bob—a broken arm. Even though he
didn’t get to play a full season he
was initiated into the Monogarm
Club.
This year he is out there hitting
hard, determined to make up for
lost time. We are looking forward to
seeing Bob in action on the first
string this year.
We give our admiration to a guy
who can excell in so many activi
ties and maintain a “B" average in
college. After Gardner-Webb, Bob
plans to take up the promising
sludy of engineering at Clemson
College, Clenjson, South Carolina.

Doris Adair (pronounced Aa-
dair, please) after being interview
ed left my room remarking that I
had taken 16 minutes from the six
weekly hours allotted her for “in
cidentals” in the time budget she
had made at the suggestion of Dean
Terrell. I realize the seriousness of
my act, for she is an extremely busy
person as you have doubtless ob
served. But, of course being busy
and being a big wheel are almost
synonymous at Gardner-Webb.
It is nothing new for Doris to be
at responsible time-consuming du
ties, though. While a student at
Gastonia High School she was a re
porter for the school paper, a moni
tor, an officer in the Bible Club,
home room officer for three years,
and she spent many hours outside
in church activities. During her
senior year she was engaged in the
task of assistant editor of her
school’s yearbook, “The Spinner."
was one of ten chosen for Who’s

her greatest distinction was being
chosen the Most Valuable girl stu
dent for which she received a schol
arship from the Gastonia Ellis
Club.
rhit-Shirt” Doris likes to do
everything, loves everybody, likes to
be different, likes all her academic
courses, is always willing to do the
things that no one else will do,
likes to eat banana pudding, can’t
tolerate open closet doors, likes to
play basketball and softball, likes to
watch football and in her “spare”
time she is enjoying the enormous
job of editing and putting out the
1952 “Anchor” for which she would
like to make this statement “This
year’s ‘Anchor’ will be the most
original and the best one that
Gardner-Webb has ever had—with
the help that God promises in Pro
verbs 3:5-6.”
Doris’ plans for the immediate fu
ture are as yet indefinite. Her ulti
mate goal and ambition is to be a
nedical missionary and she thinks
that maybe next year will find her
busy at Wake Forest.
