This year’s editor of The Pilot is Kenneth Beane, Sopho
more from Charlotte, North Carolina. He is well-qualified for
the job, since, while at Harding High, he was sports writer
for their school paper; and last year, he was Sports Editor of
The Pilot. At Harding, he was also the Assistant Business
Manager of the annual; he was a class officer, a Junior Mar
shall ,and a Junior Rotarian. He was on the Honor Roll for
three years, and was chosen Wittiest in his graduating class.
Kenneth was a member of the First^ who is fairly intelligent. Physical
! aspects cf his personality are rela
tively unimportant although it helps
if he is fairly attractive. He must be
a good conversationalist, have a
sense of humor, and be older than
herself.
To be a good wife and mother is
her long-range ambition, whUe her
immediate wish is to finish college
—at Duke, perhaps, and then work
at some lucrative occupation in
which she can travel, and then set
tle down.
We are sure that The Pilot, under
the capable leadership of Kenneth
and Paula will be a big success as
a paper worthy of Gardner-Webb.
Baptist Ohurch of Charlotte, where
he sang in the choir.
After graduating from Gardner-
Webb, he plans to study TV and
Radio Announcing at the University
of North Carolina.
Kenneth’s hobby is sports in gen
eral. He played basketball in high
school for four years and won the
Industrial League Sportsmanship
For the girls’ benefit, Kenneth is
twenty years old, 5’9” tall, and
weighs 160 pounds. He has brown
hair and brown eyes. His pet peeve
is flirty girls. He prefers brunettes,
but if you aren’t one, don’t worry
about it. Kenneth likes an average
girl with a nice personality; one
who loves children and family life;
one who is trustworthy and able to
take the bad with the good.
Girls, if you want to impress
Kenneth, invite him to dinner at
your house. He’ll hop into his ’56
Ford and dash right over.

That time has rolled around again
when we let everyone in on what
everyone else has been up to.
Welcome back all you students
who are endeavoring to make G-W
a four year college.

. . . Worrying can now become a
thing of the past. All the boys have
welcomed our own “Mom” Goodwin
with open arms. Their welcome was
made official with a party when the
officers of HAPY dormitory, along
with the other boys, goit together
and gave “Mom” a “Surprise.” The
refreshments consisted of punch
and cookies. The party came to a
happy conclusion with the present
ing of a blouse to “Mom” from the
boys in HAPY.
Things have started of to a fast
pace ithis year wlith new ideas
Epringing up everywhere. Seems as
if the boys decided to rename then'
dorm. Borrowing the “P” out of the
HAPY dorm, they changed it to
“Pecker Hall” instead of the normal
Decker Hall. On well, boys will be
boys.
After renaming tiieir dorm, the
boys found that the girls were plan
ning to rename theii's, but the girls
decided that the old name of “Cell
Block Number 13” still fitted it bet

be surprised if he exclaims, “Mmm,

station in HAPY dorm. The station
is backed with one kilocycle, one
bicycle, and one baby carriage. The
station operates from six in the
morning until seven at night, and
later if they can get by with it.
Plans are being made to get Dean
“Terrible” to be their top announcer.
One of their DJ’s, Steve Balk, has
left for home because Moose would
not let him broadcast the opera
singing from the chapel programs
in the Hamrick building. By the
way, their theme song is “Toy Bell”
because Rip Ripley liked it so well.
It has been said that Gardner-
Webb is a friendly college. One boy
summed this up by saying, “No
wonder everyone says hi between
classes and during classes; after
classes the girls are on restriction
and we can’t say a word to them.”
Seems as if the boys have a rough
1st sergeant at Decker Hall. It was
not too bad unti Ithey started hav
ing class “A” inspections every
morning. Some of the boys didn’t
get to go home this past week-end
because they failed inspection and
their passes were taken away. One
boy said that he didn’t mind stay
ing here for the week-end as long
as they didn’t put him on KP in
Miss Odom’s mess hall.
Seems as if the reason for a lot
of boys coming here to play foot

"In The Good Old
Summertime"
By Ann Holden
Gone are the days of lying in
bed until neon and lazily lounging
around in Bermuda shorts until that
all importart date at 7:30. The long
telephone CDnversations with girl
friends anl the all important
■macks that seem to Ian from one
meal to another—all have ceased.
I was among the many students
who took ii ea-y this summer, and
those were the rood old days. I
the others were Betty Jean Wa’l,
Sue Trantham, Phyllis Wilson, and
Judy Deese. We threw away the
alarm clock and slept as late as we
pleased, ate constantly, and had a
good time all the time.
Not everyone was lazy like me.
Many of you, Paula Winstead,
Scottie Profitt, Wayne Froneberger
and Mary Jo Crawford went to sum
mer school and worked off several
hours. Some of the smart ones even
worked; can you imagine?
Many of oui- students received a
spiritual blessing by working at our
Baptist Assemblies and camps, like
Linda Cox and Janelle Queen. Oth
ers who worked, as life guards, were
Joan Cline and Dorsey Ht^gard.
Still others worked in offices and
c’epartment stores, like Lib Smath
ers, Harriet Evans and Oharmaine
Of course, no summer is complete
without at least one trip to the
beach, resulting in awful sunburn
and then a lovely tan, and finally
a sickening yellow color when you
peel off. Also, the delightful salt
water makes your hau- look like a
bale of hay, and a bad case of sun
burn makes you miserable for three
days. Oh, but what a good time we
had.
The freshmen, like Ruth Mills,
Barbara King, and Carolyn Culp,
were busy this summer getting ready
to ccme to our fair institution.
They were packing clothes, telling
their parents and all the relatives
good bye; and feeling homesick even
tefoi-e they got here.
At Gardner-Webb things are dif
ferent. You start at seven on the
dot with that horrible alarm clock
buzzing in your ears and the sound
of running water and some green
freshman playing her radio as loud
as passible. What a lovely way to
start the day! In fact it’s so lovely
you have the urge to crawl back in
bed, and cut a class; but you think
of all Dean Terrill’s warnings and so
you struggle out and start to break
fast. As you bravely fight the eggs
you think back to the good old days
when you remained in bed. It seems
like a long time ago.

Our Top Prof of the month goes
to our chemistry professor, Mr. M.
A. Moseley, Jr. Mr. Moseley was
born on September 17, 1912 in Cow-
pens, South Carolina. He graduated
from Cowpens High School in 1932.
The next year found our top prof
at Wofford CoUege, where in four
shert years he had his major in
chemistry. His thoughts then turned
to instructing as the year 1937 found
him at Clemson, and the following
two years at North Carolina State.
The year 1939 saw Mr. Moseley ob
taining his graduate degi-ee in
chemistry from North Carolina
State. Mr. Moseley was a pharma
ceutical chemist for ten years and
taught two years at Furman Univer
sity and Greenville General Hospi
tal. He has been at Gardner - Webb
CoUege since 1950.

Boyles, first appeared in the March,
1956 issue of The Pilot, and we
thought it to be worthy of reprint.
The curtains open. The stage is
dark. Slowly the house lights dim.
As the floods come on, the audience
sees: Stage left, a room filled to the
brim with tests, forms, frowning
professors, registrars, presidents and
board members. Stage center, a
classroom, desks, blackboards, maps,
and Doctor Bob (in tv/eeds and
lighting his pipe). Stage right, a ros-
tum, chairs, and a pile of diplomas.
The people at stage left mill around,
handing one another forms and
graphs.
Enter, stage left: a young man
who is evidently Freddy Freshman
himself. He has a crew-cut, wears
a sweater, and carries a tennis
racket and three large, heavy suit
cases. He backs in the door and
bumps into Mr. Dedmond. Mr. Ded
mond frowns and Freddy drops ev
erything, comes to attention, and
salutes. Mr. Dedmond returns the
salute. Off stage there is a loud ex
plosion, Smoke pom-s forth and Mr.
Moseley flies through the air, land
ing at Freddyy’s feet. In his hand
is a blackened test tube. His dog
enters from stage left, looks at Mr.
Moseley, sadly shakes his head,
picks him up in his teeth, bows to
the audience, and exists stage left.
Meanwhile, Freddy has been seat
ed at a desk where he is fiUing out
forms with both hands while a doc
tor and two nurses are checking his
teeth, throat, eyes, ears, nose, feet,
and are giving him shots. Freddy for
isome reason has a confused look on
his face. As Freddy is engulfed in
forms, tests, nurses, doctors, and
registrars, the curtain faUs.
Curtain rises. Freddy enters stage
left and pushes his way through the
mass of paper left over from the
last scene until he reaches stage
center. He takes a seat. Doctor
Bob begins to lecture on what Louis
IX had for breakfast on Sundays.
After awhile he stops, announces a
test, and picks up a huge pile of
papers lying on his desk. He hands
them to Freddy and Freddy begins
to take the test. Mr. Dixon enters,
says something about dividing in
finity by zero, and gives poor Freddy
another test. Freddy is now writing
with both hands. Miss Copeland en
ters and begins to give him a spell
ing test. Several other professors
enter and all begin to talk at the
same time. The curtain descends as
Coach Harris and the football team
enter and begin to run plays around
Freddy. The last we see of Freddy
he has taken off his shoes and is
taking notes with his feet. We get
the idea that Freddy is a bit rush
ed.
The curtain rises. On stage right
a solemn ceremony is taking place.
An aged Fi-eddy is standing in a
flowing black gown. His cap is sev
eral sizes too large. Pi-esident El-
I'ctt is speaking about “Going out
and facing the world” Freddy looks
as though he is just wanting a place
to l:e down. President Elliott finish
es and Freddy is given his diploma
amid cheers and applause which al
most awaken the old grads. The cur
tain descends as Fi-edy walks forth
—chin high, eyes sparkling, step
lively—to conquer the world.
Curtain rises. We see Freddy at
stage center digging a ditch. Cur-
