EDDIE HUDSON
That nice looking person who
saunters about the campus with an
affected air of indifference is Ed
die Hudion. Although his actions
and activities may suggest other
wise, he is 18 years old and is a
native of Cramerton.
During his high school “daze,”
Eddie was Vice - President of his
Junior Ciass, a member of the Beta
Club, and a member of the Student
Council. He did not attend high
school for a Senior year but came
to G. W. on the three year plan
Just think! He missed the fun of
graduation.
Eddie has retained his good rec
ord at Gardner-Webb. His name ap
pears on the general honor roll
every six weeks. This in itself is a
marvelous accomplishment.
His most outstanding achieve
ment has been the role of Romeo
in the tragedy, “Romeo and Juliet”
sponsored by the Dramatics Fra
ternity. Eddie was well-qualified
and well-chosen for the part, which
he portrayed with great ability.
Again, Mr. Stacy and his Biology
class score in the race of favorites.
Eddie’s favorite sports are hunting
and fishing. He choose for his hobby
classical music; and as a result he
dislikes it hiUbilly style.
The future consists of a medical
career with a possible specilization
in surgery. Bowman Grey School

BETTY STATON
“S^e's the cutest girl on camp
us,” say the boys of Decker Hal',
and she’s cur Campus Big Wheel
for this month. Betty Staton lives
in Charlotte, where she atten.^ed
Tech High School.
Betty is an attractive., 19 year
old brunette, whose ready smile and
friendly hello make her one of the
most popular girls on Gardner-
Webb Campus. However, Betty’s per
sonality is not the only thing which
makes her a favorite friend of
everyone. She is industrious and ag
gressive in all the activities of the
campus. Her participation in extra
curricular activities began at Tech
High, where she was a cheerleader,
president of Hi-Y, and a member
of the National Honor Society.
Following standard procedure, in
her freshman year at Gardner-
Webb, Betty worked on the PUot
and Anchor staffs and was initiated
into the Delta Psi Omega fratern
ity. Betty did an excellent job with
a supporting role in “Jane Eyre”
last year and won even greater ac
claim with one of the major parts
in “Arsenic and Old Lace” last
Spring.
This year, Betty holds the posi
tion of associate editor of the Pilot,
in addition to being an active cheer
leader. Betty’s recent astounding
success as Juliet in the tragedy,
“Romeo and Juliet” is another step
upward for her on the ladder of
commendable achievements.
Because of her sparkling person
ality and willingness to share re
sponsibility, Betty Staton has been
chosen Big Wheel of the month.
