APRIL-MAY THE PILOT Club Of The Month Sigma Pi Alpha This month the Pilot Staff salutes the Sigma Pi Alpha, a national honorary language fraternity, as its club of the month. This club is under the sponsorship of its most honorable member, Mrs. Elma Harper Pol’ock. Mrs. Pollock has been with the fraternity since the organization of the Gamma Omega Chapter here at Gardner- Webb in the spring of 1950. Bob Morrow was the first charter member of the chapter, having been a student at Gardner-Webb in that year and is back again as an active member. The chapter is made of stu dents maintaining an average of B in their language course. These stH- dents must have an interest in foreign languages and be of good charac ter. These qualifications make this club one of the most difficult clubs to attain membership. The president of this chapter is Adrian Little john and other old members are Mildred Laney, Catherine Prince, Bet ty Ledford, Sue Vance, Eloise Bumgardner, and Bob Morrow. On Thursday, April 9, the chapter held a beautiful formal initia tion of the new members who were eligible and had accepted their invitation to Join. Those initiated were Deloris Harrick, Helen Stinson, Jean McSwaln, Bobbie Jean Trivett, Doris Vance, Rovilla Myers, Mason Hudspeth, and Richard Yearwood. These members, with the execption of Jean McSwain, will constitute the Gamma Omega Chapter of Sigma Pi Alpha for the coming year. Pictured above are the old and new members of the chapter, with the exception of Bob Morrow. Home Economics Club Following a brief business session at the Gardner-Webb Home Eco nomics Club meeting April 2 at 7:30 P.M., the members were delightful ly entertained by Fuad Sakhnini who told us of a few Arabic cus toms. He played several hymns in his native language such as “I’ll Meet You in the Morning.” Toward the close of the meeting was a very enjoyable “question and answer ses sion” where Fuad displayed his great sense of humor. Fads n' Fashions By GWEN WRIGHT Big girls, little girls; dashing types, mousey types; rich girls, poor girls — we all seek one thing, per haps the only thing that we have in common. That one thing is clothes. Some are addicts to “fuss and fea thers,” while the pendulum of others swings to the opposite extreme where “snap” is lacking. Still there are others whose impeccable taste en ables them to choose a well-plan ned ensemble. It all rests in that variable quality, taste. It’s hard to keep up with all of the so-called latest fashions. Most fashions are nothing more than fads of the moment anyway. But now that Spring is here we find ourselves putting our heavy woolens away in moth balls and donning new spring styles. In one of the current popular fads we find history repeating it self. Yes, the stole is playing a ma jor part in many wardrobes this Not only have we stored our wool ens away, but our dark colored shoes have been discarded for soft kid and mesh slippers. The stylish ankle strap makes any outfit dressy. Flowers of various hues are still a favorite accessory. Many times we are led to believe that Jane or Mary has been visiting someone’s flower garden. But on closer observation we discover that they are only arti ficial. A few small changes can add to any garment. Don’t let fashions put a harried look on your face. To have “style” you need not be in fashion. But to have fashion does not al ways imply that you have “style.” Style is what you bring to clothes. You do not have to follow the dictates of fashion to develop youi- own style. Use individualism and always strive for inward satisfac tion. A quotation from Ralph Wal do Emerson seems to clinch the point: “The sense of being perfectly well-dressed gives a feeling of in ward tranquility which religion is powerless to bestow.” PAGE FOUR But the smile I see from domes Balms my sense, gives hope rebirth. I welcome the blade with practiced And laugh will I at its passing sting, It wins such a futile and petty A song of the eternal my voice shall I swear though Queen of birth to rill from this sphere my soul as- A light of allegiance to principles To reborn hope, and to oppressed bring mends. "To My Love” Once did I see the bloom. Know its beauty and perfume. You as the winged bee. Drank the nectar, and kissed me. Your lips were sweet, I drained their wine; All life was sweet with my love, And thine. But, Alas, the Winter chilled my soul, as the bloom she killed. Bleak was the world, dark as night. When behind the clouds. Hides the Moon her light. r with seasons Life seems Three for each soul, Bu-th in Spring, life in Summer, Death in Winter’s cold. But the hand that feeds has promis ed Spring Even after Winter’s chill. So you again have come. My soul from death to life to thrill. (Dedication to Patsy Lee) F. T. A. Radio Club News One of the most active clubs on the campus is the Radio Club. Each Thursday night a radio program is sponsored by the club, and when possible members of the club parti cipate. One of the highlights looked to by the members is a tour of Ra dio Station W O H S in Shelby sometime this month. For their May meeting, an outing or a party is being planned. Sign on a newly seeded lawn at Wellesley College: “Don’t Ruin the Young Blades!” —Bruce S. Colpas The Gardner-Webb Future Tea chers of America Chapter has had a most successful year. The Chap ter had a membership of approxi mately thirty members which have been most active. It has been the aim of the orga nization to introduce to its mem bers information of all phases of teachings. Very capable and experi enced people have been secured as guest speakers to enlighten the members on the things which would benefit them most. To give a short summary of the years highlights, we would mention our speakers: Mrs. Leonard Allen, Dr. J. H. Ostwalt, Roland Leath, J. O. Terrell, William Troutman and Mable Starnes. At Christmas, a well planned par ty was given for its members which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. For the climax activity of the year was the N.C.E.A. Convention which was held in Asheville, N. C. Those attending the Convention were Mrs. Helen Barnett, Mr. F. B. Dedmon, Paul Thomas, Mildred Laney, Jer ry Johnson, Billie Sue Richardson, Adrian Littlejohn, Katherine Hazel- tine and Rovilla Myers. The Chapter wishes to thank Mr. F. B. Dedmon, for the interest and time he has taken with the Chap ter for the past year. Poems ''Fantasia' JOHNNY ELLIOTT Oh, Spring, Thou mother of beauty I commune with each babe from thy timeless womb. And hear with ecstacy on this per fect morn, Their cries of joy that shun the Oft, I grew pale in dreams of death. Cold as stone in Winter’s rain, Ah! Spirit chill, of foggy breath. Froze my heart, numbed my brain. I quaked with fear, trembled my hand. In view of the certain fate. But you have come, Oh! Lady bland. Gone is my fright, and rabid hate. Palsy, so sure, and skilled indeed, Looked with conceit at the destined prey, My sword though sure, failed the deed. And fell, so sure, defeat death? Nay! A midwestern university held en trance exams for a group of ex-GIs. One of the questions was, "Name two ancient sports.” An ex-sergeant racked his brain, finally came up with an answer that passed him. He wrote, “Anthony and Cleopatra.” —Stanley J. Meyer in The American Legion Magazine A recent newspaper ad of the Oklahoma School of Accounting was headed: “Short Course in Account ing for Women.” Not long after the ad appeared, a note reached the school’s president. It said, “There is NO accounting for women.” —Tulsa Tribune A man who took great pride in his lawn had a heavy crop of dande lions. After trying every known de vice to get rid of them, he wrote the Department of Agriculture enume rating all the things he had tried, and ending, “What shall I do now?” In due course came a reply, “We suggest you learn to love them.” —Family Herald and Weekly Star Letter to the editor of a corre spondence column: “I am only 19 and I stayed out till two the other ■night. My Mother objects. Did I do wrong? The answer; “Ti-y to remember.” •—Cecil Hunt, Laughing Gas (Metheuen)
