One of the most distinctive personalities on the Gardner-
Webb faculty is Mr. Paul John Stacey, professor of natural
science. Having been born on September 5, 1910, at Belwood,
N. C., Mr. Stacey graduated from Fallston High School. From
there he went to Duke University where he received his
Bachelor of Arts degree and then did graduate study. He is
now working for his M.S. degree at the University of North
Carolina. Before coming to Gardner-Webb in 1941, Mr. Stacey
worked for the United States Department of Agriculture.
Mr. Stacey married Goode Kuig says Mi'. Stacey, “If human beings

NOVEMBER TOP SOPHS
By Paula Winstead
Congratulations to the November Top Sophs, Doris Wal
ters and Gerald Freeman. A chat with them as they stand
admiring our campus scenery revealed some interesting
things.
Doris is a native North Carolinian, having been born near
Monroe. After graduation from Benton Heights High School
in Monroe, she worked in order to be able to come to college.
Gardner-Webb was her only choice since it was a Baptist
Christian College. To fulfill her ed for seven months with a mis-
hcpe for the futui-e—that of becom- sionary, going to orphanages. These
Religious Educational Direc- months gave Gerald the impetus he
tor—she will return to school
year either at Limestone or at
Southwestern Seminary.
One of her professors gets a plug
from Doris as she mentioned that
her favorite class was Mr. Godwin’s
Psychology course “because of the
wonderful professor.’ age.” Thi
Miss Top Soph is quite active here discusses
needed to return to college because
“it made me appreciate an educa
tion.” Gerald chose Gardner-Webb
because it gave him the answer to
what he had seen in Formosa.
Jokingly, Mr. Top Soph said his
wish for the future is “to die of old
a campus. She is the Secretary of young people in a religious field.
Stacey has something to contribute
to their education in addition to a
knowledge of biology.
The Pilot staff salutes you, Mr.
Stacey, as our “Top Prof” of the
month.
the Sophomore Class, is an active
member of the YWA’s and of the
BSU, of which group she is the De
votional Chairman. Last year Doris
was a member cf our College Choir.
Doris also does part-time work in
Dean Jones’ office. When she is not
studying, she is planning Vesper ser
vices or helping anyone who needs
coimseling.
Doris enjoys reading devotional
books in her leisure moments. Her
favorite meal is composed of turkey
and dressing, so she certainly must
have enjoyed Thanksgiving.
When asked to name the man
whom she considered to be the
greatest man living today, Doris an
swered, “BiUy Graham is the one
man who is doing the greatest work
in the world today.”
Doris has a spiritual verse which
she would like to share with her fel
low students. It has been a great
source of strength to her. Be strong
and of a good courage; be not afraid,
neither be dismayed; for the Lord
thy God is with the wheresoever
thou goest.—Joshua 1:9.
As an answer to the question of
which country she would most hke
to visit, Doris replied, “I’ve always
thought I’d like to go to Japan to do
mission work, if that should be
God's Will for me.”
Doris feels that the greatest need
at Gardner-Webb is for each stu
dent to be more thankful for such
a wonderful Christian college.
Mr. Top Soph has spent all but
four years of his life in and around
Shelby. After being a student here
in 1951, Gerald joined the Navy
where he really lived that old adage
of “Join the Navy, See the World.”
His cruises took him to Panama,
Cuba, Spain, Chile, Formosa, and
Korea. While in Formosa, he travel-
summer Gerald received s
training in this field while he was
Recreational Director at the Tuck-
aseegee Baptist Church in Mt. Holly.
He hopes to continue his education
at Carson-Newman.
Gerald’s favorite course is English
Literature taught by Miss Copeland
“because it’s different and presents
new ideas.”
“Love Is a Many-Splendored
Thing” is Gerald’s favorite movie;
his favorite book is Audie Murphy’s
“To Hell and Back.” Pizza pie gets
his vote as a special source of nour
ishment. The song he enjoys most is
“Little Things Mean a Lot.”
“To me Billy Graham is the great
est man alive today because he has
what the world needs, and I think
he’s got what it takes to determine
the future of the world.” Gerald’s
statement certainly reflects the feel
ings of many people for Mr. Gra-
Gerald is quite active at Gardner-
Webb this year. He is the President
of the Sophomore Class, trainer for
the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs, and a
member of the Monogram Club. He
was chosen All-State in 1957 for his
participation on the football squad.
Then in 1951 and in 1957 Gerald
made All-State in BasebaU.
If any girl would hke to qualify
for a date with Gerald, she must en
joy fishing and be able to row a boat
as Gerald likes to fish, too. She must
be mature, trustworthy, and sin
cere. Her reward for these traits is
to snare a ride in The Little Bug—
Gerald’s famous ’53 Nash Rambler!
In closing Gerald repeated his
personal motto, from Shakespeare,
“To thine own self be true.”
Best wishes from the Pilot staff go
to two fine people.
