FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK
THE TIRED, RETIRED
EDITOR SPEAKS FOR
THE LAST TIME
By Bill Kincaid
Well, it’s that time of the year
again—time for graduation. This is
the last issue of the PliOT for this
year. As of now. Editor Kincaid is
■ a part of the past; a new face steps
into the spotlight—Miss Freida
Stanley.
I feel sure that Freida will put
■ out the best PILOT yet. She has
always been prompt in getting her
' articles in this year, and I know
she has the ability. I ask you, next
year’s students of Gardner-Webb,
to back her up and support her in
It was my pleasure to be her cam
paign manager in the recent elec
tion. The students of this institu
tion showed wise forethought in.
casting their ballots for Preida.
Eviaently, a large majority of the
students feel as I do; if it can be
done. Freida can do it.
Someone asks; “Can a girl pub
lish a college newspaper?”
My answer is a strong, “Yes.”
Many of our college papers have
female editors. Certainly the school
for girls do not import a boy for
the sole purpose of puDlishing their
paper. Some of the better exctiange
copies 1 receive are edited by girls.
The quality of the paper results
from two large factors: interest and
ability.
I iinow Freida has the interest in
the Pilot, and I feel just as sure
that she has the ability to do the
job well.
AT LAST
By JOHN S. FAREAR
Many of you have been saying,
“at last, school is about out.” You
have said it with a sense of de
lightful anticipation, looking for
ward to some other endeavours.
The summer before you and the
years beyond will have strange ways
of remmding you that you spent
the 1956-19a7 school year as a stu
dent at Gardner-Webb College.
At last, school is about out! How
ever, it is only the beginning of a
chain of wholesome reflections and
reinembrances.
You have had your life touched
by some inspiring teachers who
brought out more than you thought
was in you. Others of your teachers
have laid influences at your feet,
these to develop and mature as
time passes.
You have benefited and shall
continue to be lifted by the new
circle of friends you now have. Who
can count the worth of a college
friendship? Like a mountain stream
these friendships have small and
quiet beginnings, but deepen and
become more beautiful with the
passing of the days.
You will remember many of your
unique experiences while here: the
joys and the disappointments, the
passing grades and the failing ones,
the growth from an irresponsible
youth to one who can assume as
signments—all of these and more
ON BEING ELECTED
By Freida Stanley
Thanks for the trust, it is indeed
a privilege to be editor of the
PILOT for next year, and I sincere
ly wish to thank everyone for mak-

I would especially like to thank
my campaign manager, BUI Km-
caid, Ray Rolhns, Pat Mooley, and
all my supporters who so generously
gave their time in campaigmng for
I have thoroughly enjoyed work
ing on the PILOT staff this year
and consider it a real challenge to
be editor next year. I will try to
the best of my ajjility, with your
help, to be an editor who wiU pub

wishes to contribute articles to the
PILOT to feel free to do so.
Honestly! There is a lot more
work connected with putting out
the PILOT than meets the eye of
the public. I’ve found that out by
helpmg with this issue. However,
it’s been fun and a pleasure, along
with the work involved. It leaves
one with a warm glow of satisfac
tion when the job is finaUy com
pleted.
Aiong with this satisfaction is
the gratitude for the PILOT staff’s
support, which is the actual back
bone of the paper.
Again I would like to express my
sincere thanks to everyone for being
so wonderful.
This year has been wonderful in
every aspect. We hate to see the
year end. for many friends will be
leaving Gardner-Webb. I never
knew one could meet and make so
many close friends in so short a
time. To each sophomore I extend
my best wishes for a wonderful
Points By Pat
By PATSY WRIGHT
Latest fads around campus seem
to be quite a Duke’s mixture. F’r
instance if you’re a girl and if you
go skating. The Thing to do is get
a broken arm. The latest thing in
labs is formaldehyde hands. Hair
cuts follow this rule pretty closely:
boys don’t, girls do. Remember this
is the twentieth century. For the
dignified college-wise look, be sure
to get a dum dum.
At the end of almost nine months
of school, some of us are learning
valuable things about “when and
when not to” and “what and what
not to” teacher-wise. Girls, sweet
will rush across the stage of memory
as you live out your life span.
You will think often of the spirit
of your school, that something which
language cannot embrance, but
beats in you as true as the heart
beat. Many times the noble impres
sions gathered here will rise up to
guide and counsel you and then you
will be more grateful for a small
liberal arts college where you were
known by all your fellows.
School is about out. and yet for
you it will never be out. The me
mories will be too rich and the abil-
What Gardner-Webb
Has Done For Me-
By NOSMO KING
Hi. If you want to read the in
troductory paragraph for this look
in the last issue. Bill Kincaid has
just told me to cut it. short this
month, and they’re all alike any
way.
The chiefs demanded that I make
amends to anyone that I might
have offended in past issues of the
Pilot. So for the benefit of straight-
ning out any misleading statements
I might have made, here goes.
Chemistry under Mr. Moseley
isn’t going to keep me from grad
uating. It is merely delaying it un
til this summer. Beside this I rather
enjoyed the course on Cowpens.
Neither has Miss Odom’s food given
me this morbid outlook on life. At
least it wasn’t any more to blame
than Mr. Dedmon’s lit. class. Dating
Louise Allen wasn’t the only tvay
that I passed Religious Ed. In fact
mowing Mr. Allen’s lawn helped
just as much. Although I didn’t get
very “close to heaven” in biology,
I learned to forecast the weather.
I discovered that Miss Miller’s re
citals weren’t as bad as I’d been
told. In fact I believe I’d have
even enjoyed them if I could have
stayed awake. I enjoyed Mrs. Gid-
ney’s part in them too because she
usually had the least to say.
There are several other things
that I might have misled the public
on. The business students want it
■known that they weren’t giving a
second-rate gift in Mr. Vosecky’s
Plymouth. They made up money
enough for a Cadillac but Mr.
Vosecky was economizing. Dean
Terrell didn’t blunder so bad as my
English teacher as in explaining
the causes of the Civil War. I can
say this because Miss McSwain has
learned me to not say ain’t and now
I don’t never make no mistakes In
As for the students that I’ve
made misleading statements about
'here’s all that I have to say: Just
be thankful that they were mis
leading, because if I’d told’the truth
■ you’d probably have gotten kicked
out of school.
If you think this article isn’t up
to par and you are tired of reading
it just turn somewhere else in the
Pilot.
O. K. Ray, I’ll tell them to read
“Around Campus”, even if I do
think that it is lousy.
Now to all of you except Ollie
Harris, the freshmen and third year
men. we wish a fond good bye.
We’ll sure miss all of you sopho
mores and you too Gene Massey.
Till we meet on the other side, keep
smiling.
PILOT SALUTES
BARBARA SHULL
Coming up in Pilot Salutes spot
this issue is Barbara Shull, wife of
our male Pilot Salute. Don Shull.
Barbara Moore, of Shelby, became
Mrs. Don Shull in December, 1956,
while they were both in their sopho
more year at Gardner-Weob.
Barbara has exhibited a many
phased leadership these two years
at Gardner-Webb. She was tapped
into the Marshal Club last year;
she served the B.S.U, as secretary,
and was a majorette for the band*
this year. ■
Always active in church work,
Mrs. Shull aided her husband in
many ways, especially in his post
as Sunday School Superintendent.
Not only has Barbara aided her
husband; she also definitely, aids
Gardner-Webb campus in maintain
ing its friendly attitude. Her warm
smile is as much a part of the
school as is the landmark.
The PILOT salutes Mrs. Barbara
Moore Shull as an outstanding
sophomore. Will you join us?
DON SHULL
This issue the PILOT salute goes
to one of the best liked sophomore
boys on Gardner-Webb campus—
Don Shull. His determined ways
and ready smile have won for him
a host of friends both here and
elsewhere.
Don, a graduate of Shelby High,
has made an outstanding record for
himself on the Gardner-Webb cam
pus. Elected to the Marshal Club
as an active marshal, he has served
with distinction.
•In 1956 his fellow students elect
ed him president of the sophomore
He and Miss Barbara Moore were
married in Dec€tober, 1956.
Don serves as a lab assistant in
biology lab. Combined with Mr,
Stacey, his interest in biology makes
the lab a more easily understood
During the Fall semester we saw
Don each Sunday morning take his
position as superintendent of the
college Sunday School. Through this
and various other activities Don has
helped to make the Gardner-Webb
campus a more pleasant place to
live.
