RECREATION PROGRAM
BY DEE NANNEY
On August 30 a group of more than 100 citizens of Boiling
Springes met at the Boiling Springs Clubhouse to discuss
plans for a summer recreation program for the community.
W. Lawson Allen was elected to serve as chairman of a com
mittee of 12. The purpose of this committee is to study the
project and to submit a report as to what should and can be
done.
Coach Norman Harris of Gardner-Webb College has been
engaged to direct the recreation program; however, he will
continue to coach the Cherryville Legion Baseball Team dur
ing the summer months.
Although no definite plans were formed as to what activi
ties will function, proposals have been made to construct a
swimming pool and to offer such games as softball and tennis.
The ob.iectives of the program are to provide summer re
creation for both young and old, to develop a better commun
ity, and to provide college students who are interested in com
munity recreation with summer jobs to help pay their way
through college.
“The program has been needed for a long time,” Coach Harris
commented. “I hope to put on as good a program as possible,
but it will be necessary to have the co-operation of every
citizen in the community, especially that of the young people
and their parents.”
HOMECOMING — OCTOBER 30
A crisp October day, cars decorated with red and black crepe
paper, girls wearing chrysanthemums, a pep rally, a variety
show, a barbecue, red and black banners fluttering in the
breeze, old friends everywhere—this will be the scene on Gard-
ner-Webb’s campus October 30—Homecoming.
Post cards were sent out to 400 alumni announcing plans for
the gala weekend which is to start with a bon fire and pep
rally Friday night on the athletic field. There will be peppy
marches furnished by the Boiling Springs Band, cheers led by
the cheerleaders, and pep talks by the football players and
coaches. The climax of the rally will be a burial ceremony
with Asheville-Biltmore symbolizing the corpse.
Saturday at 4 o’clock in the Hamrick auditorium, there will
be a variety show with members of the faculty, the present
student body, and alumni participating. Starting at 5 o’clock
there is to be a barbeque for anyone who wishes so to attend,
in the dining hall of the O. Max Gardner building. The price
will be $1.25 per person. At 7 o’clock a caravan of cars bear
ing the school colors will leave from in front of the Hamrick
Building bound for the football game which begins at 8 o’clock,
in the Shelby Stadium.
Here's hoping the festivities end with a seven letter word—
VICTORY!!
LETTER PAYS OFF
The idea that good things come to those who wait was
recently proven a concrete fact on Gardner-Webb campus. It
seems that in 1930, Miss Ina Greene, a student in Boiling
Springs College (now Gardner-Webb) wrote a letter to Dr.
Allison Gaw, asking him to contribute some books to the library.
Miss Greene, now Mrs. Ike Pepper, lives in Belmont. Dr.
Gaw was head of the English department at the University of
California for many years. Dr, Gaw' died recently, and Mrs.
Gaw found the letter among his papers.
In a letter received from Mrs. Gaw, she states that she has
given most of Dr. Gaw’s books to the University of Southern
California, but that she still has several hundred of her hus
band’s volumes. As Mrs. Gaw is still interested in fulfilling the
request, she asked the college officials if they would still like
to have the books.
Perhaps the appreciation of the books will be greater after
24 years.
