The G.W. College
Bookstore
For refreshments, supplies, mail,
or just a nice gab session, go to the
most popular place on campus, the
college bookstore. Maintained by a
group of student workers and Mr.
Leonard Allen (supported, of course,
by the college for the students), we
declare this spot the most Improved
since last year. With only a few
figures to prove it, like a $227 gross
margin over last, year’s,
to some of the sophomores about
the visible improvements. It
that the refreshments are of a bet
ter quality and variety than last
year’s. Recreation facilities are im
proved in that in addition to last
year’s one ping pong table there
are two more tables, and two sets
of checkers.
Hours for the opening of the stu
dent center are more convenient to
a majority of students this year,
with especially convenient half
hours at 9:30 on Mondays through
Fridays. The 9:30 break at night
finds students packing the store
while waiting for a toasted sand
wich or school supplies that they
need on the spot.
Perhaps the thing most appre
ciated is the interior improvement.
The fresh paint aids the appearance
of the bookstore greatly. Mr. Allen
has said that the thing he appre
ciates most is a student who does
his share in keeping the bookstore
as clean as he would like for his
own home to be. To Mr. Leonard
Allen goes the students’ thanks for
an excellent job well done in keep
ing them in mind at aU times.

Hello . . .
Should the greeting be as fellow
classmates or as alumni? At the
close of another school year, there
is the inevitable adjustment to new
situations about us. Because of this
period of training at Gardner-
Webb, new adjustments should now
come easier. Let’s hope so, anyway,
as we go our various ways.
We now see real benefits from
all this construction that has been
taking place aroimd the campus.
The big dream of all geems to have
come true as the new swimming
pool has officially opened. Our
near-the-end studying now has some
mighty keen competition as the
local drug store does a thriving
business in sun tan lotion.
Physical education classes tell the
tale—points out those who have
taken time to soak up the sun and
those who have spent a lot of time
indoors. Let’s hope that the con
solation of these “white” people is
greater study benefits.
Our sincere congratulations to the
new officers for next year. Students
can have the assurance that they
have selected a good slate of of
ficers. The only pathetic thing
