ner carry a stick which he passes on to his successor. Several
contestants dropped the sticks and disqualified.

RETROSPECTION
CAMPUS PERSONALITIES
The final game of the year has
been played, all the sports gear
Is laid aside, and the summer will
be a time of reminiscing about the
victories and setbacks and the fu-
tiu-e of the 1956-57 edition of the
FOOTBALL
Gardner-Webb may well look with
pride at its fine football showing.
The successful season saw the Bull
dogs divide conference honors with
Lees-McRae. Victories were gained
at the expense of Mars Hill, West
ern Carolina “B”, Hargrave, and
EUon “B”. Defeats came at the hand
Appalachian “B'’ Lees-McRae,
md a post season game with Geor-
fia Military Academy. Pour players
were named to the mythical All-
conference team of the Western
JJorth Carolina Junior College Con
ference .They were; Jerry Hawkins,
J .T. Davis, Tommy Sheets, and
Jerry Doby. Jerry Hawkins was
shosen most valuable member of
the squad. Hats off to those who
have played to the final whistle!
Next years leaders: Paul Roberts,
Johnny Putnam and Jim Johnson.
BASKETBALL
Basketball had a less fortunate
history this year. With the capable
leadership of Co-Captains Scottie
Frizzell and Don Poole the team
played brilliantly in spots but came
out on the short end of victories.
Those wearing red and black for
the last time besides the Co-Cap
tains are Jerry Hawkins, Mark Stone
and Boyte Lutz. Arnold Isaacs was
named to the all confernce team.
The girl’s basketball team beg
ged for opponents and dispatched
them just as quickly as they came.
Mrs .Haynes did a fine job with a
nucleus of the squad from last year,
however most of the girls will be
returning. Next year’s team will be
missing Shelia Mayberry Thomp
son, Peggy Redding and Pat Gil
bert.
LAST SHOTS AND FLAMS
It give.s us a twang of melancholy
to think about future physical edu
cation classes not getting to play in
the specious luxury of the Huggins-
Curtis gymnasium. What with the
new physical education plant on the
drawing boards they’ll miss bouncing
volley balls off the light fixtures
and looking around a roof support
to hit a badminton birdie. And no
more wrestling a’la top deck of
Decker Hall. Instead of the shower
facilities of the Hi^gins-Curtis
gym (from a leaking faucet over
head) there will be a giant shower
to accommodate an entire class at
By virtue of a mild initiation cere
mony there were approximately 20
more boys added to the Monogram
Club. Didn’t hear anyone complain
ing about fresh eggs for a few days.
Certainly miss one of the fine
athletes and all round sports from
our campus life. David Pressley
meant a lot to a lot of people.
Funeral services for this colunm
will be held Sunday May 27.
So long sports 1 — Fleming.
TOO BUSY
Too busy to do a golden deed
too busy to lend a hand in need
Too busy to read, too busy to pray
Too busy to help somebody today
Too busy to stop and rest a while
Too busy to give a cheerful smile
Too busy to make a friendly call
To busy to render a service at all
Too busy to have the altar at night
Too busy to bring up the children
right
Too busy to laugh, too busy to cry
But we never get too busy to die.
Marjorie Lattimore
By ANN ELLIS
Margorie Lattimore has been
chosen for this month’s girl campus
personality. Ordinarily a big wheel
has to have many “spokes” for its
support, and our “Big Wheel” is no
exception. Marjorie is a gal with tal
ent, determination and “know-how”
that gives her life the support It
needs. For that reason, she was
chosen to be the student director of
the May Day Program. This was a
hard and thankless job, but “Marge”
never wavered because of these
“spokes” in her life.
It seems that Maxge is not con
tent with having leisure time, be
cause she spends every minute with
her other extra curricula activities
—debating, marshal club, YWA,
FTA, and managing the girls’ bas
ketball team. All of these activities
show the versatility of “Marge”.
So here is our way of thanking
Margorie Lattimore for her contri
butions to Gardner-Webb College.
Bill Sitton
By JERRY KEETER
Photography! Did you ever stop
to think a minute of its importance
to society. A newspaper could not
exist without it and especially the
Pilot, which concerns our Big Wheel
for the month of May—Bill Sitton.
Bill, the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. M.
Sitton, comes to us from Hender
sonville. After graduating from MUls
River High School, he came to
Gaxdner-Webb in the Pall of 1953
where he has been the college pho
tographer ever since.
BUI, besides his daUy routine pho
tography work, takes great pains in
his scenic photography. Bill, in his
hobbies, sees and enjoys the many
"little things^’ in' life which most
men never grasp in this day and
time. Adventure is constantly call
ing. Beyond crowded soot-stained
streets, far from the hustle and
bustle of clamoring society, the
haunting, echoing call of the open
is ever beckoning him; from the
roaming and hunting in the Pisgah
National Forest to the fishing in the
many trout streams there—all make
up a part of his life.
Sitton, an engineering major,
plans to enter SUte College this
summer. However, the Naval Air
Corps has a longing eye for “Big
Willie” and there is a problem of
losing 20 pounds which makes Bill
want to buckle down and learn a
little math instead of becoming a
fly-boy. Whatever he decides to do
we wish him the best of luck and
would like to just say “thanks” for
G. W. Fields Its
First Track Team
By HAROLD LONG
A new innovation for sports en
thusiasts at Gardner-Webb was in
troduced as the college fielded its
first track team in the history of
the school.
The untested team measured its
strength for the first time Satur
day afternoon, May 12, in competi
tion with five other junior colleges
of the Western Carolina Junior
College Conference on the athletic
field of North Greenville Junior
College.
There was a surge of enthusiasm
among the hopeful team as they
began workouts for their final test
of strength. Most of the aspirants,
while athletes In their .own rights,
had never had training in the tra
ditional events of the field compe
tition.
Most popular of the track events
include: Discus throw, javelin
throw, shot put, pole vault, broad
jump, high jump, high and low
hurdles, 100-220-440 and 880 yard
dashes as well as the 1 mile run
which is the most gruelling of the
field events. Just what events would
be included in the meet would be
left to the discretion of the oppos
ing coaches.
Gardner-Webb came in fourth
place, good considering this was an
entirely new venture. The only track
events heretofore held on the field
at Gardner-Webb have been the an
nual Field Day competitions which
pit freshmen against sophomores in
several selected track events during
a day of delated activities.
Team members include: Arnold
Isaacs, Bob Montgomery, Eddie
Hudson, J. T. Davis, Paul Ro^>ens,
Scotty Frizell, Jackie Reavis, Doug
Hamrick, Jack Hamrick, Leon Jack
son and others.
These events, if met with success,
might be Included in the competi
tive sports among the Junior Col-
elge Circuit in the Conference. These
meets could serve as means of un
covering hidden talent among the
sports inclined junior college ath-
