May, 1955 THE PILOT Page Three CAMPUS BIG WHEELS Richard Plylei Has anybody seen Elmer? Our Campus Big Wheel this month, Richard Plyler, is still looking for her. This has been a familiar saying since the Monogram Talent Show. Richard is from Gastonia where he left an excellent record when he graduated from High School in 1952. He has con tinued the good work here at Gardner-Webb. He is Vice- President of BSU Council, College Superintendent of Sunday School, a member of the Student Government Council, Presi dent of the Sophomore Class, member of the Ministerial Con ference, Christian Volunteer Band, and Religion Editor of the Pilot. All of these achievements have earned for Richard the honor of a Superlative in the 1954-55 Anchor. Among his favorites are Bible class, Mr. Morrisett, peanut- butter and onion sandwiches (which he claims he can eat three times a day). His favorite expression is “Ah, shucks, just like my ole’ dog Red.” Swimming and diving are among his favorites when it comes to sports. He plans to attend Carson-Newman College next fall and from there he plans to enter Southwestern Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. He is also a volunteer missionary to Africa. We are sure wherever Richard goes he will get much out of life because he lives by this motto: “As long as we smile, the world smiles with us.” Mary Philheck Mary Philbeck has done an excellent job this year as editor of the Pilot. For this reason the Pilot staff has decided that she deserves the title of “Campus Big Wheel” this month. Mary has lived in Boiling Springs all her life. She attended Boiling Springs High School where she made an outstanding record. She was editor of the school newspaper, on the annual staff, junior class secretary, class poet, a member of the National Beta Club, a Marshal, and salutatorian of her Senior class. She has maintained her good record here at Gardner-Webb, where she is, in addition to her position as Editor of the Pilot, a member of the Marshal Club, indicating that she has out standing qualities of leadership and schol^arship. She is also on the Gardner-Webb Debating Team. She and Lois Hoyle won third place in the Mountain Forensic Tournament and second place in the Junior College Debating Tournament at Appalachian State Teachers’ College. Mary also won second place in the Poetry Reading Contest held at Appalachian. She is a shining example that “blondes can be intelligent.” Mary says that her hobbies are reading and writing—the latter being borne out by the fact that many of her articles have appeared in the college newspaper. She likes olives, fried shrimp, “Nat “King” Cole, and Dr. Bob. She dislikes shallow sermons and hill-billy music. Mary says that if she has anything approaching a philosophy, it can best be summed up in the following lines from Hamlet: This above all: to thine own self be true. And it must follow, as the night the day. Thou canst not then be false to any man.
