MISS MAZALENE CARTER
BY CYNTHIA COVINGTON
Miss Mazaline Carter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John L.
Carter of Pembroke, was the only Indian student to be admit
ted to Gardner-Webb College this year.
Miss Carter attended the Union Chapel school in Robeson
county and the Pembroke High School. After high school, she
entered Pembroke State College where she completed her fresh
man year of study.
When asked why she decided to transfer to Gardner-Webb,
Miss Carter gave several reasons. Her father, a school teacher,
is connected with the Baptist State Convention and works with
the seven Baptist colleges in North Carolina. Through this
work, he became acquainted with Dr. P. L. Elliott, president of
Gardner-Webb. Quite impressed by her father’s admiration of
Dr. Elliott, and influenced by college literature, Miss Carter
became interested in attending. She said that another reason
which motivated her transfer from Pembroke State College was
her desire to go to a college away from home.
The 19-year-old young lady said she was very excited about
coming to Gardner-Webb although she had harbored fears as
to how she would be received by her fellow students. “Now,”
she says, “I feel right at home and feel that I am one of you.”
She says she likes the friendly Christian atmosphere of the
Gardner-Webb campus.
The next step in the educational ladder for this well-liked
student will be attending a senior college where she will major
in religious education.

CINEMASCOPE
BY BILL SITTON
Cinemascope has come to Boiling Springs. With the showing
of the picture BROKEN LANCE, the Co-Ed Theater put into
use an investmnet of several hundred dollars worth of new
equipment. Although the change is not yet complete, there are
only a few minor details yet to be finished.
The new curved screen was installed by Wellie Hamrick and
his staff. The screen is 25 feet wide and 15 feet high. It is
constructed of a material that has a greater reflecting sur
face, necessary because of the greater size, than was On the

The lenses, made by Bauch and Lomb, are the same as the
ones used in large theaters. The only difference is the pri
