CLUBS CLUB OF THE MONTH FUTURE TEACHERS MARSHAL CLUB The officers of the club pictured above are; Katherine Hazeltine, president; Bobby Oxford, vice president; Nada Hester, secretary; and Lois Hoyle, treasurer. F. T. A. Gardner-Webb’s chapter of the Future Teachers of Ameri ca is the club receiving recognition as the Pilot’s Club of the Month. Gardner-Webb is the only junior college in North Carolina with membership in this organization which has af filiation with the National Education Association and the North Carolina Education Association. Mr. Frances B. Dedmond, the chapter sponsor, has worked diligently to carry cut the purposes of the club. He has secur ed movies and speakers that have enlightened the members as to the work and obligation with which each teacher is confronted. Thus far this year the Gardner-Webb F.T.A. has present ed programs to outside groups to acquaint them with the Future Teachers of America rnoverrient. The most recent pro gram of this type was given for the Lawndale Parent-Teachers Association on February 15. A recent social function given by the chapter was a Valen tine Party. Students at Gardner-Webb were invited. The party was climaxed by the crowning of a Valentine King and Queen. T. G. Harmon and John Hellard were chosen King and Queen respectively. The local chapter has some very definite plans for the spring. It is making plans for substitute teaching and attend ance at the Spring Convention of the Future Teachers of America in Raleigh. Also, in the making are plans for more social outings. This chapter whicli was organized in the 1952-53 school year is composed of approximately twenty-five members. It is one of the most active organizations on the campus although its membership is one hundred per cent female. Y. W. A. Mrs. Robert A. Dyer was the speaker at the Y.W.A. meet ing of January 21. She spoke on the subject of foreign mis sions. To make the program more personal, letters from mis sionaries in Jordan, the Philippines, and Indonesia were read. Each g rl was impressed with the fact that mission work is personal. Because the student revival is uppermost in many of the students’ minds, a program was presented which was designed to help us prepare for it. On February 15 Miss Mabel Starnes .sijoke on the subject, "How to Have a Revival." She emphasized |)i'uyer and Bible study as necessary preparation. The student body was introduced to the honor society of Gardner-Webb — The Marshal Club — in a very impre.ssivc chapel program on February 3rd. After the procession of both honorary and active members, each member was introduced to the student body. The inspirational thought was given by Bo'i Holder after w'hich Paul Riggs gave the purpose of the c^ub. Nada Hester tlien explained to the students how they might be chosen for membership into tire club. ’‘My Task” sa ’g by three nf the girls heightened the atmosphere and Lois Goodman cli maxed tire program with a speech on “The Thriil of Being Tapped into the Manshal Club.” As Miss Goodman spoke of her own experience, each student relived that moment and its thrills.

With Professor William Troutman, head of the Social Studies Department, as sponsor, the club holds its regular meeting every Wednesday afternoon at 4 o’clock in the Student Activities Room of the O.

The recent programs have been in the form of open dis cussions; the subjects being — “Gardner-Webb College Should Stop Participating In Intercollegiate Sports and Substitute a Full Program of Intramural Sports” and “How Can The U. S. Combat Its Unemployment Problem.’’ G.-W. ON THE AIR Apparently many of our Gardner-Webb students still do not know that the College has its own broadcasting facilities, for occasionally when the question is asked — “Did you hear the College broadcast last Fi'iday?” — The answer will be — “What broadcast?” Our little station is called the Huggins Memorial Com munication Center, and the studio is located in the room to the right of the stage in the Hamrick auditorium. We have a direct line to Station WOHS in Shelby. Each Friday after noon at four o’clock sharp, Gardner-Webb College is on the air! The program lasts fifteen minutes. These weekly broadcasts are made by individuals and de partments of the College. Quite often the president will speak or the dean may be featured. Then again the program may feature the Glee Club, voice and piano students, the Youth Revival Team, our college physician, etc. The main objective is to give the people of this area a composite picture of what the College is doing and is seeking to do. Johnny Elliott, one of our Sophomores and an announcer for WOHS, is Gardner-Webb’s student announcer. The organ ist for the broadcast is Paula Howard, and each week as w'e sign on and off the air, she can be heard playing the fa miliar strains of G.W.’s “Graduation Song.” This weekly broadcast i.s a ))art of the jjublic relation program of the Col lege and is under the direction of John Worth Long.
