THE PILOT OCTOBER, 1952 Campus Big Wheels Henry Smith Mildred Laney JUST FOR A LAFF By FITZ. With such a fine crew of fresh men and returning sophomores it looks like another successful year for Gardner-Webb College in all it undertakes. One of the “big wheels” who is, and will be active in this movement is the “little big man,” Henry Smith. Henry was born July 25, 1931, in Mt. Holly, N. C. While just a young ster he attended Mt. Holly High School. Here he started his life as a leader, excelling in many activities. After two years of school and while a junior, he interrupted his school ing to help defend his country by enlisting in the U. S. Navy as a hospital corpsman. After 18 months of loyal service he entered high school in Stanley as a junior. Here he became a king pin on the athletic field where he served as both basketball and ba" ball captain and a knot raiser the grid-iron. Henry heard of Gardner-Webb through former students and his school coach. He investigated and it was much to his liking. Here at G. W., Henry v beaming personality became standing student. Last yea freshman he was in many activities on the campus. He was a king-pin on G. W.’s undefeated football squad, receiving little All-.; honors from his fullback slot. When basketball season rolled around he proved to be a tricky little guard, burning up the nets from out court. He was co-captain of this fine squad and received All-State honors in that field. It is a fact that Hem-y Smith is one of the most oi ' standing athletes ever to enroll G. W. Not only does he excel on I sports field, but he also pulls so: good grades in his studies. This year Henry was elected Presi dent of Decker Hall and Vice-Presi- dent of the Monogram Club. Although he is the butt of many jokes because of his nos never caught without a comeback. No definite nickname has been set up for him yet, but we are working on one; “Smitty,” “Snoz,” “banna nose,” or ‘beak?’ Henry is very fond of dancing and good music. He also loves to spread the cheese and can down as many Pepsis as the next man. When asked what he thought of G. W. he said, “It’s really a wonderful place with the best of faculty and finest of students. I only regret it isn’t a four year college.” The next school is undecided now but his plans are not incomplete. He wants to be a coach, carry out plans with a certain Miss Stroupe, and live happily ever after. Good luck in all you undertake Henry, and surely with personality and ability like yours, you will make a success in life and be a credit the coaching profession.
