scribe Mildred Alexander, this
month’s Pilot Salute.
Mildred, sophomore boarding stu
dent from Gastonia, is majoring in
elementary education. After gradua
tion from Gardner-Webb, she plans
to continue her education at Appa
lachian State Teachers College. Be

of each. Among her activities are

him a 'position in the choir, of which

go forward and an equally strong
character. Bill possesses a person

TIMES SPONSORED CONTEST FOR
G. W. TOURNALISM STUDENTS
In an attempt to encourage more young people to enter
the newspaper profession, The Cleveland Times sponsored
a writing contest among journalism students of Gardner-
Webb. This paper, in cooperation with school officials, award

paper feature article. Jean Tipton of Spindale won the first
prize for her story entitle^ “Is Abraham Lincoln a Son of
Rutherford County ?” Flay Price and Martha Mason were run

then before judging the best entry.
Instructor Roberts has indicated
extreme pleasure over the Times
sponsored contest. He said, “This
competition for an award will cre
ate a great deal of interest among
the students. E^en the losers were
justly rewarded because one of the
greatest things for a budding young
joiu-nalist is to see his story and by
line in print.
“To my knowledge this was the
first such contest conducted at
Gardner-Webb and I am happy that
the Times has shown this interest in
furthering the promotion of journal-

STAYS FRESH
3 DAYS LONGER
Dear Sophomore
Since many of our freshmen have
problems, we have tried to answer
some of their questions in this is
sue of the PILOT.
Dear Sophomore:
I have been at Gardner-Webb for
five years and haven’t caught a hus
band yet.' Should I leave or stay?
Dear Rachel:
Dear Sophomore:
I have a very pressing problem at
hand. The other night I was clean
ing my Thompson Submachine gun
and it accidentally' (?) discharged. ^
This made me furious since I had
to clean it again, but you see my
mother-in-law happened to be stand
ing in front of the gun and she
caught the full clip of slugs. My
proble mis that it is not open sea-
£0 non mothers-in-law until July 14
and I do not even have a hunting
license. What can I do about her?
The ice box is over-crowded, we do
not have a back yard or a freezer,
and she Is starting to raise an aw
ful stink. I am looking to you for
advice. Please help me.
Trigger Happy.
Dear Trigger Happy:
Never have we been confronted
with such a pressing problem as
yours. It required immediate atten
tion with three phone calls; to the
undertaker, to the police, and finally
•to your lawyer. It would be wise to
plead that your in-law was an out
law and thus try to collect the re-
Dear Sophomore:
My girl friend has a buckle on the
back of her shirt and I have a buc
kle on the back of my trousers.
While we were mopping the floor
these buckles became entwined.
Does that mean we were meant for
each other??
Ivy Leaguer.
Dear Ivy Leaguer:
Prom the circumstances it looks
like fate has brought you together
and only a tailor can tear you apart.
Dear Sophomore:
My husband has taken back his
ring because he saw me talking to
Monk. I love him. How can I keep
him?
Flirt.
Dear Margaret:
When you talk to other boys wear
inconspicious clothes. Then when
your husband comes around, he
won’t recognize you.
Dear Sophomore:
I go to dances and I see all my
friends doing the Charleston, fox
trot, rhumba, waltz, mambo, rock
and roll, and samba. I would just
love to be able to dance.
Amputee.
Dear Amputee:
Sounds like you don’t have a leg
to stand on.
Dear Sophomore:
Perhaps it is unusual for you to
hear from a mother, but I feel this
problem deserves you and your read
er’s attention. Every Monday at
laundry time, I find that my son’s
shirts have lipstick stains. I have
asked him to be more careful, but
it is to no avail.
Mom.
Dear Mom:
Maybe your son thinks her lips
are sweeter than wine, but he should
ask her to use Hazel Bishop next
