It seems it really moves the local kats Bob Crew seems to be its biggest fan. It seems as if the “Cow Cow Boogie” is trying to come up in the world. Ray Charles’s “Lonely Avenue” is giving quiet a few of the Ivy men their enjoys. What happened to “Walking in The Rain” Ol’ Fats is stiU on “Blueberry Hill” and do ing real great. Little Richard is trying to cut Elvis out on “Don’t Be Cruel.” Elvis has come out with quiet a few of the old Rock and Roll recordings. His re cording of “Money Honey” Is a re vival of Rock and RoUs oldest. Guy Mitchell has converted “Singing The Blues” from a “Billy” record into a pretty cool platter that gal is still wanting to find “A Brown Eyed Handsome Man.” The Moonglows are really sending the kats with “When I’m With You.” .... we hear that they were really raving at the Rock and Roll show.

If you are de termined to avoid all lectures, espe cially ones that you have to read, just remember that the writer of this article had more difficulty in its preparation than you will in bear ing with it. Anyway, the chief told me we had a vacancy on page three. They must be filled, so here goes. As the youth of today and the leaders of tomorrow, we have been made aware of our responsibilities to ourselves and society continuous ly since high school days. What is the significance of this challenge to prepare ourselves? It is difficult to determine at what point a student fully realizes that he has his own Ufe to live and respon sibilities to meet alone. No doubt Individual circiunstances have a ma jor bearing on the time of this realization. For some it is sudden whereas for the majority it Is a gradual process. What happens when one is forced to stop and take stock of his situa tion, his resoiu-ces, and his abilities? Has he faced the stark reality that it is a hard, cruel world he lives in until he must stop and consider. Even with a goal in mind, many of us seem to be stumbling blindly, al though even effectively, in the right direction without the realization that we are doing more than following a mere pattern. We have allowed standardized procedures to take the place of original thought and plan ning. We gripe because the going is sometimes rough, but in the direct opposite lies our difficulty. The going has been too smooth. Agreed? Of course not! But in defense of the point I wish to make, let me try to bring the point closer to where we live. Let’s take the case of a Gardner-Webb student who is at present a sophomore. Not until a few days prior to the time you are reading this article was he forced to face the reality of being strictly on his own. Why? Had he not been briefed by his high school teachers In the ways of the world and facing the future? He certainly must have heard the challenges directed at him as he graduated from high school. Sure he did, but the lesson was im pressive and quickly and easily ob tained. Just as easily was It dis missed when he adjusted himself to the fact that he was no longer a participant in that phase of life he had always known. Any questions so far? You might ask what that mythical sounding stuff about realization is all about. All right, stay with me and see what develops. This particular student whom we have in mind applied a whole year of his life to studies at Gardner- Webb last year. The going wasn’t always easy, but he either overcame the obstacles or pretended they weren’t there. At the end of the school year, there were some defi nite achievements to his credit; he had taken a long step in the prepa ration for a more beneficial life, but there was something missing. This intangible something was not any thing that left an obvious vacancy in his life, but it was there. This intangible vacancy was brought into full view recently be cause of something real—a monetary obligation. It’s as simple as that. There is a monetary obligation that he cannot meet under the present circumstances. Previously he had not been entirely dependent upon himself: therefore he had not real ized the MUST of an obligation without a foreseeable MEANS of meeting It. What was the immediate reaction to the knowledge of a fact that he had not before :been confronted with? His first impulse miist have been to turn to that aid which had before been taken for granted. But that aid was no longer there. He must have felt as much alone in the world as If no one, no relative or friend, had any connection or inter est in his existence when he sudden ly realized that it was his problem alone that faced him, that it was his responsibility, and that it was an abMlute necessity that he solve It This isn’t to say that such a high value is to be placed in material things. Many or most of us have our individual financial dlfficiUty. But a high value is to be placed on anything that brings us to the reality that we have obligations and a defi nite place of responsibility in life that no other person can fUl, aid us in, or set down a set of rules for us to follow. We are on our own. When we have learned that fact in its signifi cance and determine to accept the responsibility, then we are meeting the challenge that is before us. Moreover, we are meeting that chal- A Bulldog touchdown Is a time for many things. Shouts of joy, applause, general tumult, a kiss of Joy, or standing silent in anticipation of greater things to come. Shown above is a portion of the fans at a recent Bulldog game. Attendance at the football games this year has been good, even at the games away from home. Busses have been taken to some of the games at other schools, and the students have responded by filling them.
