December, 1958 THE PILOT Page Five SONJA HEDKICK DORSEY HOGGARD DECEMBER TOP SOPHS By Paula Winstead Miss Top Soph this month is petite, 4’11” Sonja Hedrick, day student from Boiling Springs. Although not a native of this community, she has lived here most of her life. Sonja is the oldest of six children and is the shortest member of the family. Going to movies, dancing, reading good books, and serious discussions with friends head Sonja’s list of spare time acti vities. Her future is somewhat undecided u^^sey replied, “My most immediate in that she has not chosen specifi- ^ G.ardner-We'bb, cally what branch of the teaching profession she would lilce to enter. Appalachian State Teachers College wUl be very fortunate next year if Sonja follows through with her plans. Her ambition is to do some thing worth-while and good through some creative medium. “Shorty,” as she was so nicknam ed all during high school is quite ac tive on campus. She is the very cap able business manager of the Pilot, IS vice-president of the F. T. a Homecoming sponsor for the day however! I’m trying for full-time Ohristian worlc in developing dramatic presen tations in religious fields.” The only qualification for a girl to be his date is that she pay attention to him. Noted for witticism and zany ac tions on campus, Dorsey is well- known around the Chesapeake Bay area as the guy who took a run about out on the Bay in weather not fit for even 24-foot yachts! The Coast Guard was not too amused, students, and last year was the day student secretary. Her histrionic tal ents were shown when she appeared in the play “Under Milk Wood.” Hard to believe, but true!—Sonja was a forward on the Boiling Springs High School girls’ team. Sonja’s “pet peeve” is a person who pretends to be something he is not. The qualities she admires in a member of the opposite sex are sin cerity, politeness, neatness, having a good personality, and being a good conversationalist. Hamburger is Miss Top Soph’s fa vorite food; “The Ten Command ments” gets her vote as the best movie; her most enjoyed book is “A Man Called Peter”; and her favorite song is “It’s All In The Game.” Dorsey Budwood Hoggard, Jr., of Merry Christmas to Sonja and Dorsey, Mr, and Miss December Top DORMS DECORATE (Continued Prom Page One) capped since Mom Shytle cut out with all the Christmas lights. Deck er boys have discovered that the old, shabby, wind-blown, twisted, moss grown, termite bite, bird sit, and dog barked, long living, woody- woody perennial (Maple Tree) will be converted into a beautiful burn ing Yule Log. The log will be burn ed in the O. Max Gardner fireplace. Rumor has it that the faculty “Na ture Society” headed by Mr. Stacy will call out the National Guard to preserve this tree If further action is taken by Decker. Stroup doesn’t seem to be doing TRACING A COLLEGE (Continued From Page One) two efficient young ladies who typed many, many five-by-eight note cards. I had only to point out to them what I wished copied. The form that the book took was almost an organic one. The mate rials fell logically into four divisions —the movement which brought the school into existence, the period during which the school was a high school, the period during which it was Boiling Springs Junior College, and the period since 1942 that it has been Gardner-Webb College. All of the various charters of the school’s existence appear in the Appendices as do lists of faculty members and trustees from the beginning of the institution, along with enrollment and graduation figures through the years. To Mrs. Dorothy Washburn Hamrick, Registrar, goes most of the credit for the lists. I am happy to say that I was spared that type of tedious work. I selected the materials that went into the story I set out to tell. I suppose any writer of a college his tory is told stories, many very good ones, by those who preface their stories with the remark, “But you can’t publish this,” I wanted an attractive book; and since I did not wish to trust this as- ect of the publication of the book to the printer, I realized that I would have to design the book if it were to be attractive in the way I wanted it to be. The printer was very cooperative, and together we selected the tjfpe fonts and sizes. Even the thickness and quality of the paper had to be decided upon. The type of paper to be used for the dust jacket had to be chosen; the number of colors to appear on it had to be agreed upon; and it had to be designed. It even had to be decided whether or not the illustra tions would be tipped in or put in by the wrap-around method. And, of course, the title page, the dedica tory page, the table of contents, and so on had to be designed. I even received samples of cloth for the binding. Everybody should publish at least one book if for no other reason than the educational value of the experience. SEASONAL THOUGHTS “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the govern ment shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6. JOY TO THE WORLD Joy to the world! the Lord is come; Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room. And heav’n and nature sing, And heav’n and nature sing, Korea and Japan, A minister friend of his in Tennessee recommended Gardner-Webb very highly, so Dor sey investigated, is on his second year, and “I like it so well I’m com ing back next year!” Dorsey’s list of favorites are quite varied — song, “Jet”; movie, “No Time for Sergeants”; book, “No Time for Sergeants” (no time for variation); and food—any kind! Although not officially a member of any organized activity, Dorsey confessed that he sticks his nose into everything. His pet peeve is for someone to handle him bodily in the morning rather than to gently rouse him from sleep verbally.

They cannot decide whether to use a large autographed picture of Roy Acuff. or a life size figurine of Mike Lattimore and his Gold Star Ramblers. All in all Christmas is just about the same run of the mill, but HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! DRIVE CAREFULLY THE LIFE YOU SAVE MAY BE MINE!

And h A CHRISTMAS PRAYER God of the poor, and friend of the friendless, Shepherd of all earth’s wandering sheep. Look down in mercy on earth’s wide distress. Watch o’er thy fold, eternal vigil keep.

The mule was extremely lazy and the old man was twice as lazy as the mule. One day the mule died and the old man was very sad. As sad as he was, the old man was too lazy to bury the mule, so he simply rolled the mule over on his back and placed a heavy log across him to hold him there. About two weeksl ater an odor began to waft up from the dead mule. Eventually the odor became so bad that the old man decided to bury his mule any- any. As he was digging the grave the delicious smell began to give him heartburn and just as he rolled the rotten mule Into the grave, he fell over dead also. Moral—If your mule dies, bury him promptly, because if you don’t he may drag you in with him.
