One-Stop Shopping Center Serving the Public Since 1875 ■ Where Your Dollar Buys More CAMPUS SEES SNOW Gardner-Webb campus was cov- i^-ed with a six-inch snow on Feb ruary 15 for the first time in three Actually the campus had seen snow before this, year, but the wea ther was not favorable enough for it to last long enough to blanket the ground. The snow was a new experience to many'students, especially to Jane Mann, a native of Florida. Even the old snow veterans were amazed and happy over the snow, and quite a tew snowball fights resulted. Flay Price had an accurate aim, but sev eral girls together proved too much for Flay. Dorsey Hoggard, Ann Abernathy, Frances Williams, Mary Hodges,, and Mary Gail Dalton used their energy to make an enormous snowman. Fred H e a v n e r, Larry Cline, George Passes, PoUy McIntosh, Nan cy Cable, and many others were more Interested in throwing snow balls at each other. Several Students sported black eyes later, but the coment, “It was -worth it” expressed the general ac ceptance of the snow. Ruth Hamrick of Shelby is chosen as prettiest ,and Reid Armstrong of Stanley most handsome. Most intellectual citations go to Martha Mason of Lattimore and Douglas Wilson of Kings Mountain. Pat Trantham of Asheville and Gerald Freeman- of Shelby are hon ored as most athletic. Freeman was a member of the 1957 WCJCC all conference football team. Congressman .Whitener Visits Campus Gardner-Webb College was honored recently with the visit of Congressman Basil Whitener. A former attorney, Con gressman Whitener is a member of the House of Representa tives, representing the 11th district. As a native .of Gastonia, Congressman Whitener is very interested in Gardner-Webb and keeps informed of the col lege. He also keeps Gardner-Webb informed of events occur ring in Washington. During his visit to the campus of Gardner-Webb, White ner addressed the faculty and student body with a speech in chapel on the current events in politics. Jack Anthony Is Candidate For Marine Academy WASHINGTON, D. C.—Congress man Basil L. Whitener has announc ed the nomination of Jackie Lee Anthony, Gastonia youth, ;as a can didate to take the competitive men tal examination for the United States Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, New York.

He is a sophomore at Gardner- Webb College and an outstanding football player. He has also been active in the Monogram, and Circle K Clubs. Commenting on his nomination of young Anthony, Congressman Whitener stated: “Jack Anthony has been highly recommended by many people in Gaston County as a young man to compete for one of the eight vacan cies allotted to the State 6f North Carolina at the United States Mer chant Marine Academy. He has a very good scholastic record and has actively participated in school ath letic activities. He impresses me as being the type of young man who will make an outstanding success in the Merchant Marine.” Congressman Whitener Stated that graduates of the United States Merchant Marine Academy receive the degree of Bachelor of Science, a commission as an ensign In the United States Naval Reserve, and an assignment in the Merchant Ma rine as either a deck or engineering HONOR ROLL IS RELEASED The honor roll released recently at Gardner-Webb in cluded five “All-A” students with grades averaging 95 or over, plus 16 on the general honor roll rating 92 or above on all subjects.

She has been housed in the machine since having polio in 1948. Miss Anderson Is a Gastonia na- G. - W. Makes Goals For 1958 (Continued) from the colleges’ share of operative Program receipts. 1958 will be a year of improved Hui^to^^r.^'chariotTeJ faculty qualifications. At least eight and possibly more faculty members will do graduate study during the summer months, and several of these will earn advanced degrees this Already the college boasts a facul ty of highly qualified and fully ap proved instructors, meeting all re quirements for accreditation. That cites another goal for the new year—increased faculty salaries. The college makes a constant effort to get Its salary scale in line with living costs, but although great pro gress has been made in recent years, most of the professors at the col lege could earn higher salaries teaching in the state’s public schools. Why then do they stay in their present jobs? There can be but one answer—dedication. But dedication itself is the best reason for added compensation, which is a major goal for ’58. If the record for the past four years holds true we can anticipate an enrollment Increase of approxi mately 50 students next fall. From 371 students in 1954, our student body for the fall semester numbered 519, swelling to 550 In January. tive and liberal arts student. Last spriixg she won a four-year college scholarship from the A. G. Myers Foundation of Gastonia. The “AIl-A” roll students are Martha Mason; aJnice Anderson; Margaret House, Shelby; Charles Marion Walters, Mebane. The general list includes Fain Combs, Margie Greer, and Dean Ware, Shelby; and Rachel Elliott and Philip Hamrick, Boiling Springs. Three Cliffside residents, Mrs. Beth Bigjerstaff, Frances Hamrick; and Dorothy Jackson are also included. Others are Louise Alford, Rocky Mount; Rachel Black, Gastonia; Mrs. Leona Greene, Spindale; Janet Jackson, Hendersonville; Jean Per kins, Laurinburg; Ronald Travis, Morganton; Paufe Winstead, Lex ington, and Marvin Walters, Me- lights, and fence so we can have our home athletic events really at home. The late Gerald Morgan of Shelby had the field graded and landscaped, but it has never been equipped for spectators’ needs. With the new gymnasium now in use, the need for an equipped field is all the more apparent. In reality, the field will be done this year only through some special source,. No provision has been made as yet for completing it in ’58. The college has many goals, and many needs, known best to those If 550 students enroll next Sep- who are closely associated with the institution. During the year GOING STEADY? Young people who like each other a lot (or even a little) often ask themselves, “How about going steady?” There are many reasons why “going steady’ is an inciting situation. Hele» wanted to go steady. She thought it was a good way to be sure she’d have someone to take her to all the affairs she wanted to at tend.’Gwen wanted to go steady, too, but mostly because so many young couples she knew were doing it. Of course, it is poslble for a couple to care so much for each oth er that they honestly want to spend all of their dating time together. • Sometimes a boy and girl get started going steady simply as a matter of convenience—perhaps to finish out a group.. After a few happen-so-dates the crowd seems to to take the couple for granted.

If we do this successfully we will have met our greatest goal for ’58.
