CAMPUS Joe Long Last year, brown-haired, dark-eyed Joe Long arrived on Gardner-Webb Campus. With determination in his face which matched the sincerity of his voice, this handsome veteran made it evident that he meant to set an example which Gard ner-Webb would remember. Joe’s success story, however, had its beginning at Dallas High School with the class of 1945. Here, Joe was production manager of the school newspaper, a member of the annual staff, participant in school play production, and was ore of those “heroes” who plays the three sports. Before he could really be of help to anyone, however, he thought he should learn more about the world; consequently, his post high school days found him traveling over the world with the U. S. Maritime Service. Later, he donned Uncle Sam’s “blues” and became a swabbie for years. It was while working ir Burbank, California, after his re lease from the Navy that Joe made the all important de cision to come to college. Gardner-Webb was the college of his choice. Since his stay here, Joe has earned such coveted positions as business manager of the Anchor, membership in the house council, and president of the Radio Club. In addition to these honors, he is an active member of the International Relations Club. In his spare time, Joe likes to build gadgets for beautifying the home and is very much interested in interior decorating. As far as music is concerned, hillbilly is definitely out. Just give him a soothing classical presentation or one of those "jivy” popular numbers — that’s for Joe. If you want to bring a sparkle to his eyes just set a plate before him with his favorite steak, garlic bread, and, of course, strawberry shortcake for dessert. Now about that ticklish subject — girls — Joe says it’s all in how you handle them, and it seems as if he is doing all right with a certain attractive brownette. (Continued from Page 3) THE YEARBOOK The most apparent change is an eight-page color scheme in the first section. Another new feature, and a “first”, i,s the theme, which will be carried throughout the uiniual. Editor Betty Jean Em mett and her staff are keeping this theme a dark secret. There are 16 additional pages in the ’54 publication, making BIG WHEELS Martha Gantt What is the average college girl like? This is a good ques tion, and to get a good answer observe Miss Martha Nan Gantt. Miss Gactt is successful in her studies and, above all, possesses that quality known as a good personality. Ever-present on Gardner-Webb campus, she is active in all social events. Miss Gantt hails from Ware Shoals, South Carolina, al though she was born in Shelby, N. C. on April 11, 1934. She was graduated from Shelby High School in 1952 after hav ing compiled the enviable record of being on the basketball team, earning a school letter as co-captain of the team, act ing as secretary of the school’s Spanish Club, and being a P.T.A. representative. Having lived so close to Gardner-Webb College, she naturally knew a great deal about this school. So it was, that after graduation from high school, she became a student of Gardner-Webb College. In her college scholastic record, she rates in the upper one-third of her sophomore class. Miss Gantt was a cheerleader for Gardner-Webb in her freshman year, and this year she is chief cheerleader. She was in the play “Death Takes a Holiday,” and is a member of Gardner-Webb’s home-economics club and the Delta Psi Omega Dramatic Fraternity. When asked what she liked best, Miss Gantt replied, “I like sleep, food, and Bunny Price.” Miss Gantt is planning to attend Woman’s College in Greensboro next fall. Miss Martha Nan Gantt’s wonderful personality makes her a typical example of the successful college girl. the total number of pages an even one hundred. This change was made in order that the individual pictures of each stu dent could be larger. This year’s Anchor will be published by the Delmar Pub lishing Company of Charlotte. This year’s pictures were made by the Duke Studio, located in Charlotte. Along with these prominent changes. Miss Emmett prom ises a few additional “surprises” and refuses to tell in what form they will appear. It has been through diligent effort on the part of the Anchor staff that these changes have been made possible. Everyone can well see that it will necessitate a large amount of industriousness on the part of each member to meet the February 15 deadline. Miss Emmett has stated that the co operation of all students in helping to meet the deadline will be deeply appreciated. •Page 5
