GARDNER - WEBB HIGHLITES By BETTY STATON September—and return to Gardner-Webb. There was ex citement—freshmen darting into the room every few minutes wanting to buy books. Mom up on a chair trying to hang curtains. Dad and big Sis trying to arrange your academic schedule for you and all the while you were dying to get out on campus and up to the shop to see the familiar faces you’d longed to see for three whole months. The next two weeks were wonderful. The going wasn’t so hard and everyone talked continuously to catch up on what everyone else had been doing all summer. Then came the time to settle down to some hard study. The summer-like weather which lasted until November didn’t make this task any easier. Cheerleaders were elected and pep rallies were held every Friday night. Number one on the hit parade was “Hurrah for the Bulldogs.” Dean Upton and Ronald Burns did a fine job leading the Bulldog squad through a very spirited season. Then came Homecoming and the Sophomores were very jovial at seeing the kids they had been so close to the year before. Homecoming was a tremendous success; the talent show was New Radio Program Sponsored By G - W “Something Better for Cleveland County” is the recently consequced radio program presented by WOHS Radio and Gardner-Webb College. The broadcast is dedicated entirely to the needs of Cleveland County, Each Sunday afternoon from 4:00 to 4:30 o’clock, various features are presented by county and city administrators, civic leaders, promoters of community functions, and authorities on subjects of cultural and educa- Already there have been several interesting and informative broadcasts, including features by Bill Green, managing editor of The Shelby Star, Hugh Wells, Shelby lawyer, Ed Lewis, manager of the Shelby Chamber of Commerce, Robert Carr, head of the music department at Gardner-Webb, and Francis B. Dedmond, professor of English at the college. Recently James Harrill, Shelby artist, spoke on “The Painter, the Pic ture, and the Viewer,” an interesting and informative dis cussion of painting in the layman’s terms. Jane Kendall Beam, student at Shelby High School and the Clyde Timmon’s School of Dance in Shelby, discussed the Ballet on last Sun day’s program. These are a few examples of the cultural benefits available to the people of Cleveland County and sur rounding areas, from “Something Better for Cleveland County,” John Elliott, student at Gardner-Webb College, is producer of the program. most entertaining, the Bar-B-Que most delicious and the game that evening was the end of a perfect day when the Bulldogs stomped Asheville-Biltmore 26-7. Grace Rollins reigned over the Homecoming festivities and Betty Staton and Phyllis Mundy acted as her atendants. Football season came to a close and Bill Norris and Bill Bovender, Co-Captains of the lively Bulldog Cagers, and their team took the stage. When the curtain came to a close on Basketball season the boys had won themselves third place in the conference, a place which they very much deserved. The Gardner-Webb Players Cast of the Delta Psi Omega presented “Romeo and Juliet” in the E. B. Hamrick Audi torium December 8-10. The production was a great chal lenge for the drama fraternity but they came out with flying colors. Betty Staton and Eddie Hudson were cast in the leading roles. The production was taken to Queen’s College in Charlotte later in the year. Then came mid-term exams and a short rest for some of the students and then back to “the salt mines.” The absence of our beloved President Phil Elliott was ex tremely felt when he went to Florida for his first and most assuredly well earned vacation. Mr. Lawson Allen very capably stood in for Dr. Elliott until Ms return. Everything seemed to go along so slowly and normally until after Spring Holidays and then all of a sudden there seemed to be so much to do and so little time to do it in. There was Monogram initiation (something a great many will never for get), Sophomore class superlatives were elected, the Anchor staff was working like mad to meet the deadline and student- government officers were nominated. Eddie Hudson was elect ed to head the student body next year. Very impressive in stallation services were held in chapel by the student govern ment and the B. S. U. Parties came one right after another —the Monogram party at Rainbow Lake and the Delta Psi Omega party and initiation at the same place, the Progressive Party had a hayride and celebrated its landslide victory, the Dyer’s entertained, Mr. Dedmond entertained his American literature class, the accounting class celebrated, and so do the Pilot and Anchor staffs. The biggest day of the year was a big success with the Sophomores coming out on top in the Field Day honors. Shirley Reavis, Shelia Mayberry, Gene Huss and Don McCarson won individual honors. Field Day was topped off perfectly by a beautiful lawn party given by the Freshmen in honor of the Sophomores. The theme was “Hitch Your Wagon to a Star” and this was very easily done also for the midnight blue sky was completely covered with twinkling stars. There were enough for every one to make a wish on. The music department held several recitals and we really knew spring was here when some of the fellows came to breakfast one morning all decked out in Bermuda shorts. Another important day came when we received the Anchor, (Continued on page 7)
