PAGE FOUR THE PILOT FEBRUARY Campus Club News Club of the Month G.W. Places Six In "American College Who's - Who"! Marshal Club Feb. Feature 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, Winston-Salem; Glenn Henson, For est City; Norma Jean Jones, Jack sonville, Fla.; Jean McSwain, Shel by; Catherine Prince, Thomasville; Billie Sue Richardson, Bessemer City; Bobby Bray, Thomasville; Wayne Sorrells, Franklin. Yates Campbell. The following are honorary mem bers for 1952-’53: Bill Byrd, Max Goode, Charles Ledford, Betty Led ford, Joan Rogers, Betty Rose, Jan ice Wall, Janice Wellman, and Nelle Gold. 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, recitals, and Commencement. Christian Voice BILL BYRD One of the major problems in the life of a student, or anyone else, is to come to the point that he can properly evaluate what he hears. One must always ask him self, is what I hear true or false? Will it be good for me or will it be bad for me? Often our evalua tions play a great role in determin ing what our life will be. In the Gospel of Matthew we find three instances in Jesus’ teachings where he placed emphasis on what he had been teaching by using these words, “He that has ears to hear, let him hear.” 11:15, 13:9, 13:43. It seems as if Jesus was saying, now here it is, — you take it for what it is worth. In speaking here, Jesus could have been speaking of inner ears; ears which give us the abili ty to choose between that which is good and that which is bad. These inner ears are not some thing that we are responsible for making ourselves, but they are something that comes to us through a gift. This gift is the gift of God. John called it a new birth. Only when we experience this birth do we really begin to live and become capable of evaluating the things we hear. Our inner ears develope and grow toward maturity as we use them in choosing what is good. Our need is to have big ears so that we will be continually choosing that which is good. We have no excuse for choosing those things which are bad. “If any man willeth to do His will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from myself.” John 7:17 R.V. Let us use our inner ears and choose those things which are good. Horace Greeley, who always in sisted that the word “news” was plural, once wired to a reporter: “Are there any news?” We Salute We salute the above members of our student body, who were chosen by the Student Activities Committee of our faculty to represent Gardner- Webb in the American College Leaders of 1953. These students were chosen on the basis of their leadership, scholastic ability, and service on our campus as student government officers, club presidents, and mar shals. They are from left to right on the first row: Billie Sue Richardson, Mildred Laney, and Catherine Prince; second row: James Garrison, Glenn Henson, and Yates Campbell. F.T.A. Highlights Monogram Club Gardner-Webb has added a new club to its list, the Future Teachers of America Club. Although this club is very young, it has already made history for our college in that Gard- ner-Webb is the only Junior College in North Carolina that has a Future Teacher’s Club. The Club, which is under the sponsorship of Professor Dedmon has a very capable staff of officers, who have given much of their time in making the club very active. These officers are as follows: Paul Thomas, p r e s i d e nt ; Katherine Hazeltine, vice-president; Norma Jean Jones, secretary; Gail Bau- com, treasurer; Rovilla Myers, re porter and historian; Nancy Boger, pianist; and Adrian Littlejohn, pro gram chairman. An interesting note in the ar rangement of our monthly programs is the variations of our guest speak ers. We have had a professor from Davidson College, the superinten dent of Cleveland County Schools, and of Shelby City Schools, and the minister of music and educational director of the First Baptist Church of Shelby as our speakers. The club is composed of approxi mately 25 students who are eager and willing to do their part in pro moting higher educational facilities for our state and nation. We hold membership affiliation with the North Carolina Education ;^s=ocia- tion and the National Education Association. It is the hope of the members ;ame back by wire; that its activities will promote a greater interest in the teaching pro- —Christian Advocate fession. I suppose that most of us have seen several new sweaters and jack ets around the campus lately, each supporting a large G. W. letter. This is to signify the new members of the Monogram Club who lettered in football and the seniors who shall never aon a G. W. uniform again. To be sure these boys earned the right to wear these awards, and we are proud to have them among our number. The Monogram Club is one of the most active clubs on our campus. Coach Harris serves as the faculty sponsor and Henry Smith as the president. Darrell Wilson is the vice- president and secretary-treasurer. These two boys are both recognized leaders and they have done great jobs for the Monogram Club as well as other organizations on the cam- The Monogram Club has been busy playing basketball for the past month in order to raise money for various needs and the musical show that is planned promises to be a great success. Each member of the club works hard to su’^port the ac tivities of the club and each does his job well. So hats off to the Monogram Club for “they climb, though the rocks be rugged.” A Methodist minister, retiring, happily named his first permanent home “Dunmovin.” A retired mathematics professor named his cottage at Carmel-by- the-Sea “After Math.” —Chicago Tribune
