PAGE TWO THE PILOT SEPTEMBER, 1954 THE GARDNER-WEBB PILOT September, 1954 Volume XXII Number 1 Published monthly by the students of Gardner-Webb College, Boiling Springs, North Carolina.

You have been told what to expect and what not to expect, what to join and what not to join, and what to do and not to do when you go to college. Some of your advisors have been speaking from ex perience. Theirs may have been sound suggestions. In other cases you may have been given unwise counsel. Yours is the task of choosing and discriminating among the various suggestions given you. We feel that there are a few things that we must say by way of advice. We urge you to heed it, and refer back to as the year progresses. You can then decide as to its merit. Meet as many of your fellow students as possible in the next few days. Cultivate their friendship. You will be seeing them and hearing their names for the rest of your life. Your classmates will be the ministers, teachers, lawyers, doctors, and business and civic leaders of this section in the years ahead. If you doubt this, look at the alumni files. Get to know the faculty. You will be working and study ing with them for the next two years. Their years of study and experience can be of much value to you if you make an effort to learn from them. Learn as much as you can about the school. This col lege has a colorful history of struggle and hardship to stay in operation. The sacrifices made for many years to keep the school going have paid off in better trained men and women who have a little better grip on life for having come here. Finally, get off to a good start in all your studies. It will take some time in study, and may deprive you of some of your scoial life, but getting a firm hold on your studies at the outset is important. You can take time to relax later. If you do these things you will have a rich two years at one of the best junior colleges to be found anywhere.
