Frosh Week Marshal News
On Monday, September 8, 1952,
freshman orientation was begun
once again on Gardner-Webb cam
pus. Students from over the south
land were arriving, anticipating
their first year of college life.
Our first big thrill of being at
College was experienced when we
went to our own rooms and met our
roommates, and after getting set
tled, we went to the beautiful Gard
ner building for our first meal on
the campus.
At 7:30 the Student Government
greeted us with a big welcome at
the social hour in the O. Max Gard
ner building. Songs were sung, aft
er which Glenn Hinson, President
of the Student Government, gave
a talk and introduced the officers
of the council.
Tuesday morning began with gen
eral convocation in the E. B. Ham
rick Auditorium, with Dean J. O.
Terrill presiding. Words of wel
come were extended by President
P. L. Elliott. After a hectic day of
taking tests, we again were enter
tained at the O. Max Gardner build
ing by the Student Government. Get
acquainted games were played. Re
freshments in the cafeteria climax
ed the day.
Wednesday morning we again as
sembled in the auditorium for con
vocation, and the day’s announce
ments. After another hard day of
taking tests and physical examina
tions we all assembled in the college
church for prayer meeting and wor
ship.
The Baptist Student Union, led
by Wayne Sorrells, President, en
tertained us Thursday night at the
O. Max Gardner Memorial. The
theme of the evening was “The Lit
tle Red Schoolhouse.” Groups pro
gressed from the Gardner Memorial
to the girls home, student center,
library, until each group had been
to each place. Returning to the
Gardner Memorial, couples were
formed in the Grand March, and
the group proceeded to the cafe
teria where refreshments were en
joyed by everyone.
Friday morning brought registra
tion! The Freshmen met counselors
at the Dover Library Memorial,
where we registered for various
subjects. This concluded the orien
tation program. We were then ready
for our first class on Monday.
Saturday was a free day — or
vou might say — a day to catch
your breath after a week of excite
ment and many activities. On Sat
urday night l!he Boiling Springs
Baptist Church sponsored a social
in our honor. We all had fun meet
ing the pastor and members, and re
freshments were served in the edu
cational plant of the Church.
One of the first and most im
portant things a freshman notices
when he arrives at Gardner-Webb
is the Christian atmosphere and
spirit shown by the faculty and
students, and, as this new school
year begins, we, the Freshman Class
want to do our part in maintain
ing the ideals and morals set forth
upon this campus. We are looking
forward to a great year together.
The Marshal Club is the Phi Beta
Kappa Organization at Gardner-
Webb College. Its purpose is to
seek and to honor the development
of a well rounded personality.
The new members of this organi
zation are chosen by a committee
of the faculty together with the stu
dents who are already members of
the Marshal club. Both Freshmen
and Sophomores are eligible for
membership. Election is based on
character, scholarship, (B average
or above), leadership, and service.
These new members are tapped and
formally installed at an impressive
chapel service during the second
semester.
The following are active marshals
for 1952-’53. This indicates they were
elected to this honor by the faculty:
Don Bynum, Alexis, chief; James
Garrison, Weaverville; Mildred La-
ney, Maiden, chief; Joyce Hamrick,
\Vinston-Salem; Glenn Henson, For
est City; Jerry Johnson, Belmont;
Norma Jean Jones, Jacksonville,
Fla.; Jean McSwain, Shelby; Cathe
rine Prince, Thomasville; Billie Sue
Richardson, Bessmer City; Bobby
Bray, Thomasville; Wayne Sorrells,
Franklin.
The following are honorary mem
bers for 1952-’53: Bill Byrd, Max
Goode, Yates Campbell, Charles
Ledford, Carrie Barton, Betty Led
ford, Joan Rogers, Betty Rose, Jan
ice Wall, Janice Wellman, and
Nelle Gold.
The following Sophomores were
chosen as members of the club for
Second Semester, 1952: Billy Bing
ham, T. W. Estes, Reece Hunicutt,
Don Wagner, Helen Abbott, Fran
ces Allen, Barbara Holt, Jonelle
Teague, Marianna Vance, and Sara
Cooke.
The highest honor that can come
to a student at Gardner-Webb is
to be tapped for membership in the
Marshal Club. One is not chosen be
cause he or she excels in only one
of the ideals of scholarship, charac
ter, leadership and service, but be
cause he or she has demonstrated
throughout the year that he passes
all four of the ideals of the Club. •
The members of the Marshal Club
serve at all public functions of the
college, such as lyceums, banquets,
recitals, and Commencement.
G.-W. TiesE.M.L 14-14
The Gardner-Webb Bulldogs came back from a 14-point
deficit with a touchdown in the second quarter and another in
the third to deadlock E.M.I. 14-14 at Boiling Springs, October
3 for their second tie game in as many starts this season.
Edwards scored its 14 points on two touchdowns and a
safety within a period of five minutes in the second period
and didn’t threaten thereafter. The first score came when
tackle Ephraim Seabrook recovered a G-W fumble on the
Gardner - Webb 2S-yard line. Prom
that point quarterback Delamas
Neesmith passed to end Lindsay
Hewitt for the score.
Hewitt’s try for the extra point
was missed, but a minute later the
Rams picked up two more points
when End Gayle Ross tackled Pull
back Henry Smith behind the goal
for a safety. On the kickoff, the pig
skin bounced away from safety man
Ernie Diaz and rolled to the one-
yard line and on the second play
from scrimmage. Smith was thrown.
Im.mediately, the Bulldogs kick
ed to E.M.I, on the G-W 46 yard
marker and from there, Neesmith,
a brilliant passer, hit Hewitt on the
20 with a long heave and the sparkl
ing end carried it over for the
Smith, Robertson, and Diaz were
the big guns in the backfield.
Smith’s punting was an outstanding
feature. The true-toed artist got off
71-yard punt that backed the
visitors to their 3-yard line. His
average was 39 yards per try.
DIAZ HITS PAYDIRT
With two minutes left in the
first half the Bulldogs took a punt
on their own 46, and a Smith smash
for iwenty-nine yards carried the
ball to the Ram 25. Diaz picked up
five to the 20 as Quarterback Joe
Robertson passed to End Bill Bates
on the five with Diaz carrying,
scanning right end to paydirt.
Gardner-Webb knotted the score
early in the third period when Half
back Ernest Byerly recovered an
E,M,I. fumble on their own 34, In
five plays the locals drove to the
1-yard line where Robertson tallied.
Henry Reynolds booted his second
extra point of the game
count at 14-all.

“Porthole?” Then maybe you don’t
know just exactly what the Baptist
Student Union is. In a few words
from the “Porthole,” "The Baptist
Student Union is the center of all
the religious activities on the cam
pus. It seeks to enlist every boy and
girl in active Christian w'ork and
to make him happy in his daily
living and service for Christ. The
aim of the B. S. U. is to keep Christ
supreme in every phase of campus
life.”
The Council of the B. S. U. has
planned several things for this year
that we feel sure you will enjoy,
such as, a revival, study course, and
various other programs of great in
terest to Chrisitans today. Also, with
these religious activities, we also
have a Christmas banquet which is
always enjoyed by all.
The daily religious,activities spon
sored by the Council are Morning
Watch, Noonday Prayer Meeting,
Vespers, and Hall Prayer Meetings,

able to get a sustained drive roll

To you Freshmen, in particular,
ad also the Sophomores, you may
e proud that you have chosen
Gardner-Webb as your college. Dur-
this, the fourty-sixth year of
growth and progress, we challenge
you to put forth every effort at
work and at play to make this col
lege the greatest in the United
States. As Dr, Elliott has often
said, “Gardner-Webb may have the
name of Junior tagged on to it,
but it is not Junior to any college
s size anywhere in the United
States,” Certainly, you should be
proud of your school, which has been
made, in the tradition of everything,
great in our United States by the
desire to work, the desire to pro
gress, and the desire to do the will
of God by those great men in the
history of our school.
