PAGE SIX THE PILOT APRIL, 1952 Campus Big Wheels Bob Workman Joanne Kincaid Bobby came to Gardner-Webb irom Thomasville, N. C„ leaving many achievements behind and coming forward to accomplish great er things, for which he has proven himself worthy of recognition in this edition of the Pilot. Bob had the opportunity of being a three-sport athlete in high school, participating in football for two years, baseball one year, and bas ketball three years. He was also ac tive in student government and in the Hi Y, being secretary of this organization. This background of activities, plus a winning, friendly personality, has caused him to be willing and able to do even more for his fellow students. Our “Big Wheel” really started his freshman year with a bang. However, due to an injury, he was kept away from football after the first few weeks. Later, the fresh man class elected him for its presi dent and he has shown his ability through executing a top-notch freshman-Sophomore banquet. He enjoys working with his class and being of service to anyone. He real ly likes us and our friendly at titude, especially does he like the unforgettable friendships he has formed. Bobby’s one complaint is that Gardner-Webb is not a Seni college. Sleeping might be classed as favorite pastime of his, along with swimming and other sports, and ham would be classified under favorite food. His future is ui tain — but very bright and hope ful. We are all for him and we know he will succeed and bring friendly joy to those about him.

Joanne was a member of the May Court last year and this year the student body elected her May Queen — an office requiring beau ty, personality, and scholastic achievement, which Joanne is cap able of filling. We mentioned that “Joby” is Rudy’s ■‘queen of August and thereafter” —well, the ring on her left hand confirms this. This “Queen” has a wonderful reign ahead of her and we wish her the ultimate of happi ness and success because she so well Well, we are preparing for last round-up and must try to help everyone get a partner, that is if they need any help. What has happened to Bob Work man and Billie Sue? Her outside Latin work couldn’t be taking up all of her time, could it, Glenn? Gaylord, it doesn’t always pay to take the long way home because you don’t even know what might hap pen before you get there, huh. Faith? James Monk seems to have found something interesting besidej books in the library, for he really studies on the nights that Becky Luffman works. But it seems as though hia pardner prefers bru nettes, especially from second floor. In her last letter to Bobby Nix, Elaine forgot to include a lock of hair for each of the other admirers that read her mail. An error on her part, we are sure. Don Woods sure likes to play Indian and he hasn’t been going back to his old stomp ing ground to get his war paint, either. We have heard that “Sweet ie” Mosely belongs to a tribe in Shelby, also. Frances Rhyne and Dot Robert son certainly do hurry up to the Student Center after ballet prac tice. We know that Frances’ in terest is Harold, but we can’t de cide whether Dot’s is Bill, Buster, or Jack. The latter grades, not even George Hamrick. Mr. Stacy says to look the natural “Tump,” ar.d Boa, you have look ed long enough. How about putting your order in? It seems cs though A1 Cobb has broken his truce with the dirty dozen and is play.n; ping pong with Joyce Hamrick. Could somebody enlighten us C.S what Mr. Fisher meant in literature class the other day when he said some people were thankful for the stairways at G-W? We heard Pat Withers say she is footloose and headed p?st Georgia toward sunny Florida. It looks like Frances Phillips “air content”—well, what girl wouldn’t be, in her place? Does Peggy help increase sales in the Student Center, Joe? There than there were eggs in her Easter basket when Don gave it to her. Ruth really seemed to be having a time the other weekend—Claude, ), Robert—Oh, well, some have 1 the I t present. We knew Joanne Kincaid her head and we weren’t too surpris ed to find one on her hand! It must be pretty serious when you take them home to meet the parents and get their approval, huh, Carolyn. Bobby, we believe you pass ed the test with flying colors. Jon- elle’s baseball interest sure has in creased since last year. Queen’s pitching isn’t responsible for this, is it? Martha, do you really buy Crawley’s? If so, we want to know where you get that much money and who helps you eat all of that stuff? Steve Morrisett, get your head out of the clouds, you aren’t the only one who has a good-look ing girl off the campus, eh, Henry Smith? Grace Nielsen doesn’t let any thing keep her from making good Politics This being election year all over the United States, politics is now a very important subject. Some people think all politics are dirty and stinking, but that is not true at all. Politics is a very vital part of our democracy. In this country we have a model set up of a democracy, yet only about one half of the population of the United States that are eligible to vote will vote. Why? Well, there are many reasons, but most people just don’t want anything to do with politics. Anyone with common ^ opinion, it is a man’s God-given should know better than tl right and duty to vote! In the coming elections at ( ing campaigns conducted and si there should be some very interest- very enthusiastic speeches made by the nominees to various offices. Let’s watch these young politicians and when you are thoroughly convinced who is best suited for the various jobs, then vote for them! Your votes while at Gardner-Webb are just as important as they will be when you start voting for the officials of this country. Incidentally, there is a good number of students at G-W who are old enough to vote in state and national elections this year. I urge every one that is of voting age to think seriously on this question of voting and vote. Vote your wn cnvictions and for the man of your chice! Never vote Democrat or Republican just because your family are members of that party. There are people who will vote a straight Democrat or a straight Republican ticket just because their father happened to be a member of that party. I urge you to take a part in the politics here at G-W, at your Senior College, in your home, and in your community. Select your leaders with care, regardless of how important or how small the office they ar " hold. It is a man’s sacred trust and duty to vote the convictions of his own heart. Remember that! YOU are the future nation and future poli ticians of this country, so make politics a sacred and vital part of your life. — (K.S.) Well, Betty Gray, it seems that you have finally narrowed the field down—at least we see only Brady around now. Janice Pigford and Dean Buchannon, Betty Rose and Allyn Gibson certainly were lucky to see a big Broadway production in Spartanburg lately. Bet they’ll re member “Brigadoom” for a long time. Eloise has gotten quite a collection of pictures lately. Norman is hand- ime,isn’t he, Eloise? Spring surely g over to play croquet—well, that one way to get them over, isn’t it, girls! Juanelle Randolph and Joe Bunn have really pecome checker experts—well, who wouldn’t after playing every night? Carl, why don’t you give the girls on the campus a Moore's Cafe SANDWICHES OF ALL KINDS THICK MILK SHAKES OPEN ALL DAY SUNDAYS Senior: I don’t know whether to e a barber or an author. Soph: Why not toss a coin? Heads Daffynition: Tact — the ability 0 make one’s friends feel at home ?hen you wish they were.
