Prof. By DONNIS PHILBECK Even thoough he doesn’t “dig” Elvis Pressley, our professor of the month, Robert Carr, is still a “cool cat” in the eyes of Gardner-Webb students. A native of Erie, Penn., Carr graduated from St. Louis Institute of Music, where he received his -B. M. d^re. He took his M.M. de gree at University of Alabama, and did two summers of additional grad uate study at the University of Michigan. A colleague of the Ameri can Guild of Organists, Carr is also a member of the Music Teachers National Association. Before coming to G. W., Carr taught a year in Virginiaa, and two years in Tenn- Since coming here he has taught iano, theory, Prehch, and college choir. He has also been organist in local churches. He says that he “loves teaching.” He proved his statement by marry ing an elmentary school teacher from Tennessee. Besides teaching, Carr has a full time job in helping care for their 15-months-old daughter, Marsha. It seems that Marsha inherited her father’s love for music because she is learning to play the xylophone. Cooking, experimenting with new foods, horticulture, and traveling are Carr’s favorite hobbies. In the way of music, he says he ’’loves all ginds, even rock ’n roll”. Con cerning favorite composers he says, "anything French is fine with me.” He has found in the various music appreciation courses that the stu- ients’ interest in music is most gratifying. Carr had this to say about his leaving, “I have enjoyed my two i'ears here, and fel that the college has a great future.” Prof. Carr plans to study more French this summer at Vanderbilt University. In the fall, he will take up his new job at Cumberland University In Lebanon, Tenn. MAY, 1956 "All Work And No Play - Makes Jack A Dull Boy" By PATSY COOK That all work and no play make Jack a dull boy has been soundly proved by now. The brightest stud ents are those who also take an avid interst in activities not strictly limited to the lecture room. It may be that the outstanding personality gravitates naturally to many social activities, yet it is more likely that a personality becomes outstanding through the leveling and rounding process of meeting society. There exists a cycle; per sonalities devlop activities; activi ties develop personaalities. Extra-curricular activity in phys ical or mental sport is a safety-valve in which a student can release the excess energy not taken by studies safely and efficiently. This -exer cise, since it is not work, is thor oughly enjoyable to him. He finds in the competition of sport a re lease from the tensions of his life —his examinations, grades, future, or teachers. The student enjoys the fellowship of his comrades. He finds many of his social problems axe solved when he is active in any phase of ac tivity since common interests is an excellent basis for new friendships. In making the transition from home life to college life, a student finds a bridge in any activity which may be continued in college — a sport, debating, yearbook work — from his high school activity. The value of these activities to a student are of indispensable aid to him in finding a normal life at col lege. He should be encouraged to seek them as a vital and necessary part of his college education. GILLIATTS' FLOWER SHOP SHELBY, N. C.
