MEET THE BAND
Have you been hearing that beau
tiful music floating across the cam
pus In the afternoons? It seems to
be coming from everywhere, making
the atmosphere very pleasant around
Gardner-Webb. If anybody hasn’t
found out yet what it’s all. about,
Just see Professor J. Y. Hamrick,
under whose direction is the Boiling
Springs band.
The band is a combination of
Gardner-Webb students and stu
dents of the local high school. The
organization of the band in this
manner was necessitated by the fact
that neither school could furnish
enough interested participants to
form separate bands. So, they pool
ed their assets of talent and came
up with one of the best bands in
“Despite all foreseeable and im'i.ffi-
nary difficulties of such an arrange
ment,” says Bir. Hvmrick, “there nas
been no real problem, and the group
has worked well together. This has
helped to better the relationship be
tween the college and community.”
He says that the band this year
is the best in the history of the
Gardner - Webb - Boiling Springs
The band is composed of 48 mem
bers, fifteen of tvhom are college
students. These are: Charles Hun-
singer. Bill Brackett, Peggy Jean
Early, Shelby Jean Forrester, Phil
lip Hamrick, Jimmy Greene, Becky
Deaton, Harolyn Sparks, and Wilma
Houser.
Mary Ann Reece, Barbara Moore,
Bill Edwards, Paul Bell, and Carroll
Kirby.
Some of the year’s activities have
been: playing at all home football
games; playing at three football
games away from home—^Wingate,
Mars Hill, and Lees-McRae—; and
three parades—at the Rutherford-
ton-Porest City-Spindale parade, the
Shelby parade, and at the Gaffney
Plans have been made for the
band, in co-operation with the Boil
ing Springs Church Choir, to pre-
n of Christmas music
in the E. B.
A spring concert is also planned
by the band. Keep posted on the
future activities of the band and
avail yourselves of the opportunity
of hearing and seeing the band in
all its ability and color.
YOUR INQUIRING

about a supinator?” Here are some
of the answers we got:

Larry Moore: You wouldn’t want
my opinion.
DUlard Hiatt: If I had one, I
woiUd throw it away.
Jimmy Bridges: It’s ahright, I
guess.
Frances Middleton: I never heard
of what you are talking about.
Doris Porter: I didn’t know Elvis
had a new record out.
Gretal Blggerstaff: What do you
do with it?
Martha Carpenter: Are you cuss
ing me?
Harris Devine: Tell me what it
means and I will tell you what I
think about it.
Pat Mobley: Sorry. I don’t talk
Greek, just Spanish.
Margaret Melton: I’m afraid to
tell anyone.
Patsy Wright: I think it’s super.
Carolyn Cooper: Give me a dic
tionary.
Beverly Guffee: Is it tall, blond,
and handsome?
Bill Linville: If I saw one, I would
be scared of it.
Ham Hudson: Give it to Miss Mc-
Wilma Houser: Why not pass It
around to the faculty.
Daphene Reid: I don’t think about
such insignificant things.
Miss McSwain: We need it. '
Judy Alexander: I’m sory, but I
don't keep up with the latest fash-
Paul McLendon: It must be some
thing from Mars.
Mr. Dedmond: All I can say is
that we have been needing it on this
camous for years;
Therefore you haVe the answers
to the question as given by you.

MUSIC NOTES
By MISS ABBIE MILLER
The members of the music depart
ment are busily engaged in playing
and singing on and off campus. We
have had two faculty recitals—a
joint recital by members of depart
ment in October and Miss Miller’s
and Mrs. Gidney’s recital in Decem
ber. Miss McGee plans to give a
program in March.
Mr. Morrisett, Miss McGee, Miss
Miller and Mrs. Gidney gave a pro
gram of sacred music at Calvary
Baptist Church in Morganton.
Faculty members and students
have done extensive radio participa
tion. Five radio programs by faculty
members and four by students have
been given this fall. Mrs. Gidney’s
Glee Club sang. Vocalists have been
Paul McLendon, Suzanne Hamrick
and Gerald Southerland.
A Thanksgiving program which
will be long remembered was spon
sored by the Student Government,
Mrs. Gidney’s Glee Club sang ap
propriate Thanksgiving music. She
herself sang several appealingly light
songs which were greatly enjoyed.
Several ensemble groups have come
into existence this fall. Miss Mc
Gee has organized a mixed double
quartette and a women’s sextette.
Mrs. Gidney and Miss Miller are
working with a men’s double quar
tette. Varied sacred songs were
given by these groups recently in the
“Week of Religion” in charge of our
Baptist Student Union. Caroline
Greene’s assistance at the organ was
greatly enjoyed and appreciated.
Caroline’s solos and hymn playing in
chapel add to the chapel services.
DRAMATICS
DEPARTMENT
TO PRESENT DRAMA
After careful consideration, the
drama “Sunup” has been selected
as the spring play. Try outs for the
play, which is to be presented the
latter part of February, were held
recently under the auspices of Miss
Jean Mcwain, head of the dramatics
department.
“Sun Up” is a drama in three-acts
which has its setting in Western
North Carolina. It has a cast of
nine characters—^two girls and seven
boys. Chosen for the lead is Miss
Carolyn Proffitt, of Bakersville. Ac
cording to a recent announcement
by Miss McSwain, assignments of
parts were as follows:
Widow Cagle Carolyn Proffitt
Pap Todd '1-.,. Ray Rollins
Emmy Harriet Gibson
Bud James Huggins
Sheriff Weeks Byron Rippy
Rufe Cagle Bob Herlong
Preacher Alfred Wright
The Stranger Dillard Hiatt
Bob Don Miller
campus this faU. We have a march
ing and concert band which include
48 members. Majorettes add to the
“eye appeal.” Besides participation
in all home games, our band has
played at Mars Hill game, Lees-
McRae and Wingate games on those
campuses. They have taken part in
three _Christmas parades: ’Tri-City
in Rutherfordton, and Shelby and
Gaffney Parades. ’The band joins
our Boiling Springs Church Choir in
presenting a program of Christmas
music. A spring recital is planned
by our band.
In further celebration of Christ
mas festivities, members of the mu
sic faculty are appearing as soloists
in the annual presentations of Han
del’s “Messiah.”
Radio, clubs, civic organizations,
churches and student recitals give
our students and faculty opportuni
ties to bring Gardner-Webb College
to the public.
’The summer breezes turn to autumn winds;
The meadows green are tinged with yellow.
As if their spirits pale at the thought of death.
"The maple leaves have lost their luster;
The birds have their journey begun anew
To the far-off land where dwells eternal spring.
This is the time of year when loves die.
The spring romance is lost; the summer passion wilts;
And so it is with me.
Not an outward blow, but much more
low and painful; it is the death of separation.
Good-bye, my love!
When it is spring aagin perhaps we shall meet
Some other where and love anew.
Rachel Elliott
LOVE
What is love?
It is the beauty of sacrifice.
Our gift was Christ, who gave that we
Might gain; died that we might see.
What is love?
It is the beauty of a baby’s smile.
The bubblnig, efffervescent dance of eyes
So young, so sweet; innocent yet wise.
What is love?
It is the beauty of a parent’s care.
That seeing blindness which shows his child
A creature unsurpassed; spirit undefiled.
What is love?
It is the beauty of tears.
Crystal droplets from the hearts of those
Who care — and their feelings thus diclose.
What is love?
It is the beauty of sorrow.
That universal thing which fore one
Builds strength; makes another bitter to become.
What is love?
It is the beauty of happiness.
The elusive quality of the mind that’s attained
By sharing of life and love unrestrained.
What is love?
It is the beauty of selflessness.
An inward change of heart’s desire —
To step aside and place another higher.
What is love?
It is the beauty of live.
That fights to be won; that dare to be taken.
With eyes turned to God, and a faith yet unshaken.
