Page Eight THE PILOT November, 1955 GARDNER-WEBB COLLEGE IS NOW ON THE AIR! Gardner-Webb College is on the air! This sentence is uttered every Friday afternoon at 4 o’clock. The program originates in the Huggins Memorial Communications Center on the Gardner-Webb campus. Poll Of Opinions College students, professors, and local talent appear on the program. The programs are planned in ad vance to give the participants maxi mum time for adequate preparation. The programs are well planned be cause they, for one reason, have to be regulated on split-second tim ing. The prc^rams last for fifteen min utes and are broadcast through the facilities of radio stations WOHS in Shelby, WBBO in Forest City, and WKMT in Kings Mountain. Right after the sign in, Mr. Rob ert Carr plays the Alma Mater. He is then cut out or faded out by the announcer Jimmy Sides, who gives an explanation of the program. What goes on behind the scenes during a broadcast is really an ex perience for the engineer. He is constantly modulating voices, cut ting certain microphones off and others on, and announcing the pro gram as it progresses. This may sound like work, but it is really a most enjoyable experience. As the program nears the fifteen minute mark, there is a tightening of nervous systems. Everyone real izes that the program has to sign off before the fifteen minutes are over, or there is no sign-off. Mr. Carr usually has time to play one stanza of the Alma Mater before the announcer fades him out and says, “This broadcast has originat ed on the Gardner-Webb Campus, John Roberts is director and your announcer is Jimmy Sides. This is the Voice of Gardner-Webb College, a pioneer of education in the New South.” And then there was the Chicago flood last fall; another case of a river that got too big for its bridges.

Bloodmobile Visits Boiling Springs THE POET'S PENCIL TO A FLEA By David Littlejohn Hail to thee, oh little flea Who has such a place in history From the time of the Greeks till present day, I guess you’re with us always to stay. I believe it was the dog who first carried the flea Oh accursed dog, Now I have them on me, But on with my story and with truth you see, A dog could never do without his flea. They crawl, they bite, they roam about, And you can watch the dog as he digs them out, As he scratches, he fights, and mauls How he howls, he barks and bawls. He can do all he can, and may it be his best But he can never get rid of this sly little pest. Yes, to see a dog without his flea Is something I hope will never be. Now the moral of this little ditty you see, That every dog must have his flea, But , Don’t look for a moral in every story. THE RESULTS The building of the Great Sphinx .... the constructing of Noah’s Ark .... the painting of Mona Lisa by Michelangelo ... the sculpturing of a statue by Leonardi da Vinci . . . the writing of the constitution .... the inventing of the light bulb .... the molding of bread into its re quired shape .... the reaping of the golden grain in the late fall .... the saving of a child frightened by the destructive flames of fire .... the completing of a wife’s beauti ful quilt, well, not to be unnoticed by the husband .... the composing of a song, played on the piano .... are all results of man’s most re markable tools—his hands. —Dillard Hiatt The Monogram Club sponsored the last visit of the bloodmobile to Boiling Springs. Gardner - Webb students were boasted by talks given in chapel by Harold Long, Sara Farrow and Mrs. Roland Leath of Shelby. As usual the students responded wholeheart edly by sending permission slips home to be signed by parents and then making their visit to the unit. Many thanks to the donors of this most precious liquid substance call ed blood. Let’s all be out the next time the Mobile makes a visit and really support this worthwhile pro- “If all the women were taken out of circulation,” the orator asked, “what kind of a nation would this COHEN'S SHELBY, N.
