Page Eight THE PILOT May, 1955 GRACE ROLLINS AND HENRY FOGLE MAY KING AND QUEEN MAY DAY OBSERVED AT GARDNER-WEBB COLLEGE May 7, was a day of much excitement. Parents, friends and alumni were assembling and filling the dorms. Early Saturday morning preparations for the occasion were being made. Benches were provided for the many spectators. Miss Saranan Morgan with her physical education classes had worked long and hard on the theme, “Memories of the South.” Cynthia Covington gave the welcome and Don McCarson and Jo Ann Rollins sang “Maytime.” The program continued with the waltz, a dance of beauty, grace, and poise. No southern scene is complete without the pickaninnies. We held to this tradition with a tap-dance by Janet Crawley, Linda Crawley, Jean Trantham and Phyllis Henderson. Bobby Porter sang “Ole’ Man River.” This was followed by the Virginia Reel, with a group of girls dressed in jeans and ginghams. The traditional plaiting of the May Pole was the climax of the event done in a very colorful atmosphere. The May Court escorts and attendants were: Betty Barker and Lewis Jackson, Shirley Reavis and Eddie Hudson, Fraulein Swaringen and Mac Hill, Becky Hart and Tommy Sheets, Deree Mayberry and Bill Bovender, Marlene Steele and Ronald Burns, Vicki Plaster and Conrad Morris, Phyllis Munday and Myron Ruppe, Doris Moody and A1 Proctor, Pat Stout and Jerry Keeter. Henry Fogle, May King at Gardner-Webb College, crowned his Queen, Grace Rollins, to sit on the throne beside him. Everyone had worked hard on the program and the re sults were gratifying as well as rewarding to a beautiful day. BULLDOG'S BARK The time draws near and we are all happy yet sad to say good-by to all our friends. But before we all leave for the summer vacation we would like to part with the latest news from the Gardner-Webb Campus. There are quite a number of steadies such as Janet Walker and Bobby Porter, Conrad Morris and Betty Staton, Lib Moore and Tommy Sheets, Char lotte Carroll and Bill Jones, Marlyn Howell and Howard Proc tor. Hey, what’s the scoop on “Meat and his charming com panion, Vicki? Also what’s going on between Jackson and Ward? Must be love. It seems to be affecting everyone— even the faculty! To Mr. Davenport we would like to ask, what is so romantic about the halls? Boys, since you came over to the girl’s dorm and saw how nice they keep house, how about taking a hint—and girls beware of those boys who don’t know how to dust their furniture! Pat Stout has been seen with some cute guys lately. What gives? Joyce Stevenson thinks red hair is the only color in the world— right Joyce? We find that quite a few guys from Decker Hall are getting married this summer—congratulations to you and yours. Mr. Stacy says that you just gotta be living right. . . . Our Miss Sue Hutchins seems to be making headway—but which way? Kay Swain says she still can see stars falling from the sky and so does Scottie ... A cute twosome on the campus is Mac Hill and Phil Smith. “There aren’t any girls like ‘Smith Girls’,” says Mac. We are still wondering to whom does your heart belong, Shelia?? We have been informed that if you want to know anything about G. W. Campus, just call the Shop and detailed information will be given. . . . Well some of these outings and activities we are having toward the end of the year are inspiring more romances—right Jerry Bal lard and Jerry Camp. Ronald Burns surely does have a cute gal from home. Bring her to the campus often, Ronald, and let us all have a long look. Shirley Reavis seems to be spend ing quite some time with a guy from Carolina—good luck, Shirley. Deree M .still says “Sam is coming up this weekend I’m sorry boys.” If anyone needs a faculty chaperone (which seems to be a requisite of G. W. Outings) please secure none other than the Elliott’s (Dr. Bob and his cute wife). They are a barrel of fun out of the classroom, and quite often in the classroom. Congratulations to all the Freshmen who were elected to the various offices. A1 Proctor says that there is not a sweeter girl anywhere that one who lives in Sylva. Carlisle H., Gary H. and Dean Upton, are still eligible, gals. . . . We are glad to see smooth sailing for Charles S. and Ellis A. Phillips. Theola and Joanne H. say that they surely will miss the guys at G. W. this summer. Minnie E. Currin and Ervin W. see happy days ahead—nice going kids—Cynthia C. and H. Wease seem to be hitting it off just fine . . . Leona Lamm looks starry-eyed at the other twin. What’s this we hear about Henry B. making out like a “bare-foot burglar”? Who is she, Henry? Well, we just won’t say good-by, but so long until next year when we shall have lots and lots more to let the Guys and Dolls in on. QUOTABLE QUOTES “Where man stops, God in His Eternal Force begins.” —Paul Stacy “The measure of a man’s greatness is his ability to tell the difference between truth and that which is camouflaged to look like truth.” —Dr. Phil Elliott “Satisfy your want and wish power by overcoming your can’t and won’t power with can and will power.” —Wm. Boetcker “ ... to care less for truth than for what people will think IS a coward’s part.” —Aristotle
