The matter of inertia and dlscon-
cern towards elections ranks high
in the political problems of our day.
ihus the aged cliche — “Now is the
time for all good men to come to
fhe aid of thier country” — is ap-
pLcatory to most election times.
We could change this trite expres-
s.cn slightly and say — “Now is the
time for all good men and women to
come to the aid of our college” —
and express the sentiments of most
of our sophomores concerning our
coming campus elections.
For almost a decade Gradner-
Webb College has had far-reaching
influence as a school with a high
scholastic rating, superior executive
leadership, and an outstanding
faculty. In the last few years its
rise as a potent athletic power has
been remarkable.
Our students also manage to
achieve outstanding records after
leaving Gardner-Webb. The percent
age of our graduates who attend
senior college is tremendously high.
Living in an age when the develop
ment of youth has been greatly
stressed, our school has become a
leader in preparation for the fu-
However, student activity and par
ticipation has not been at its best
during this school year. We have
not as yet lived up to the goal set
for complete student government.
Less than half of the members of
the sophomore class attended a re
cent class meeting. The average
altendance in freshman meeting£>
is only about 509c of the enroll
ment. Participation in other ac
tivities is similar!
The South has advanced in re
markable fashion within our life
time. Dominion by sectional rivals
is decreasing for the first time since
General Lee surrendered his Sou
thern forces to the Union foe on
April 9, 1865, Western North Caro
lina has become one of the most
progressive regions in Dixie.
It is up to us to continue this
work. And a sound footing may be
obtained right here on our campus.
Om- students are the leaders of to
morrow!
We must put our all to work in
the coming elections. The re.sponsi-
bility imposed upon us as students
may be met by discussing the candi
dates, endorsing someone for each
.tob, and trying our best to gel our
candidates elected. Let this year
;nd as we hope the next one will
begin.
Various Team
Sports To Start
Immediately!
The climax of the annual struggle
between the highly esteemed sopho
mores and the lowly freshmen for
the official athletic supremacy of
the campus has been set for April
10, but the contest between the two
classes will begin at once. Compe
tition in the team sports — soft
ball, basketball, baseball, volleyball,
badminton, and ping pong — must
be completed by the time for the
track and field events so that a class
winner can be picked according to
the total points accumulated in all
events.
The first contest between the two
classes, a basketball game, is sched
uled for March 13 at 8 o’clock in the
h-gh school gym. There will be both
gu-l’s and boy’s games. The small
admittance fee will be used in the
preparation of the freshman-sopho-
more banquet which will climax the
festivities of Field Day. Coach Ken
Brady reports his team, is in great
shape and anticipating a great vic
tory. Coach Bunny Price of the
freshman squad is equally optimis
tic.
Try outs will be held for all sports
and the times and the people in
charge will be announced in the
meetings of the respective classes.
Points will be given on this basis:
five points for first, three points for
second, and one point for third.
Each participant in a team sport
will receive one point and the win
ning team will receive five points.
After all the events have been run
off the freshman boy and gn-1 and
the sophomore boy and girl with the
highest number of points will re
ceive trophies as “Most Outstand
ing.”
With competition in team sports
from now until the big day, then
the track and field events in the
morning and a varsity baseball game
in the afternoon of Field Day, and
the Freshman-Sophomore Banquet
to complete the affair in fine fash
ion, it really looks like a gala day
for all.
And may we remind you that
there will be no classes at any time
during the busy day!!!
