Nearly everyone has something different to say regarding the past year. Most of the students are glad that the year is over, especially the Freshmen. It givos the Freshmen a superior feeling to know that they have completed one year at col lege, and are soon to be called Sophomores. But part of the Sophomores aren’t so happy about the year being over- Not because they don’t want to be called Juniors, but as one boy said, “I just hate to leave Gardner-Webb.” It’s true that all of them haven’t been honor roll students, great athletes, or officers on the Student Government, but each one has made many friends that they hate to part with probably more than anything. Even if the students do have to part with the many friends they have made at Gardner-Webb, both Freshmen and Sophomores have many new friends to make next year. The departure of the Sophomores leaves a challenge to the Freshmen to uphold the good reputation they have left. If the Freshmen will open their eyes, they can see the mis takes the Sophomores have made and profit by them. Then it shouldn’t be quite as hard as it would be ordinarily for them to live up to the examples set before them. Since the school year is over those that depend on their summer work to come back to school, should be trying to get jobs now. The wise student, and the one really interested in coming back to school, probably has written several em ployers already. Let us not forget the old slogan; “The early bird gets the worm.” It is possible that some of the students regret that the school year is over because they will have to work this summer. Students should realize that the summer work rests their minds, exercises their bodies, and gives them a greater determination to come back to school. Most students have comprehended the knowledge that has been exposed to them this year; they know that it has broadened their minds and even added steps to manhood. These are the students that will be seeking more education next year either at Gardner-Webb or some other school. A Word Of Thanks We, of the Pilot staff, are proud of the opportunity to serve the students of Gardner-Webb through the college newspaper. We realize that it is a position of trust and that it carries with it a great deal of responsibility. Those who have preceeded us in bringing you the news have made a record which will keep us on our toes if we are to equal it. We are thankful that they have given us a high standard to maintain. Since this seems to be a fit time for saying “Thanks”, I would like to express to the members of the faculty and to the members of the sophomore class, the appreciation of the freshmen for the help given to us this year. The effects of the teaching and guidance of the faculty will never leave us. The help and leadership shown by the sophomores has help ed us to get a hold and a good start on our college career- We freshmen, having had the benefit of these two groups of leaders and companions, feel now that we are not quite as “green” as we were nine months ago. Our chief hope is that Another Year We hear the familiar sounds of “Schools out!” “Say Bill, where are you going next year?” Our thoughts immediately turn to that time of the year when we leave those friends and friendships which we so dearly love. Yes, school is al most out for a good many students. To some it is their final year here at Gardner-Webb. Others will be here next year. They will be back trying to reap a better harvest. Can you as college students look back over the past year and count it as a good year for harvesting and planting? Can you look back and say, “Yes, I have sown those seeds of friendship, courtesy and good deeds that will be so important in the years to come.” Can you say by the reaping of your harvest that you have contributed much to the growth of Gardner-Webb and those principles on which our school is based? Would it not truly be wonderful if when you leave school that we could all say, “I have made my contribution and I am proud of my record here at Gardner-Webb?” We sometime are prone to think too lightly about those things which we leave behind. Our school year has been marked with some truly great experiences: those of our athletic teams, our choir, and the growth of our school as a whole. To the Sophomores we say thank you for a job well done in anything you took part. I would like to take this op portunity to say a few words about one of our Sophomores, Glenn Pettyjohn. To you who do not know Glenn (if there are any), I would like to tell you a little about him. Glenn is from Winston-Salem, N. C., where in his senior year he was president of the student government capping one of the most brilliant athletic and scholastic careers in the school, but Gray high’s lost was G-W’s gain. During the Freshman year here Glenn achieved still greater heights, president of the Freshman class, also a member of the Bulldog-eleven of that year. While playing ball that year, Glenn sustained a head injury which caused him to miss a month of school. But Glenn came back and with the determined attitude and sincere outlook on his work, finally caught up and thence became as we freshmen know him today, an upper class man. His winning personality and desire to do what he could for his fellow-students has made him a tremendous success. On the football field, Glenn came into his own this year, be ing named to the third team Junior College All-American team. Glenn’s success has been chiefly from the burning de sire to learn and to do all that he could. He plans to go to Wake Forest College and study law. It is our ardent desire that you become the best, Glenn. You deserve it. And so to Glenn Pettyjohn and our fellow-sophomores, we say, “Bon Voyage” and thank you for a job well done. (H.S.)
