“Handy Andy” on
THE PILOT SHUTTERBUG
By Beverly Turner
One person you can always see at ball games and other events of
general interest is Charles Anderson Harmon Jr., known to us as “Andy.”
Whenever pictures are to be made, either for the Pilot, the annual, or just
general news, “Dandy Andy” is always handy.
Born in Bessemer City, he graduated from Bessemer City High School,
where he made pictures for the yearbook and paper. Andy was president
of the Science Club, president of the band, assistant editor of the annual,
and assistant business manager for the newspaper. He also played bas
ketball and was a member of the Radio Club, the Journalism Club, and
the Glee Club.
Andy attended Wake Forest before coming to Gardner-Webb as a
sophomore this year. At W. P., he made pictures for the yearbook, the
paper, and the student magazine.
Our 19-year-old shutterbug enjoys all sports, especially basketball. He
also plays tennis, baseball, golf, and chess.
Although physics was Andy’s hardest subject in high school, it was
also his favorite subject. He jokingly says that his ambition is to have a
million dollars, a big house, fourteen kids, and a harem. In a more serious
tone, however, he admits that he would like to go into either science or
photography. When he finishes at G.-W., he would like to go to Wake
Forest or to Florida State.
Andy’s slogan is, “Have camera. Will Travel.”
STUDENT-FACULTY GAME THRILLS
By Doug Goans
Yep, it was that time again. The time was set for the
grudge battles between the students and the faculty. The
faculty won the girl’s game by 42-12, while the students took
the boy’s game 35-24.
In the first game the faculty, led by Miss Jones, Mrs.
Haynes, and Miss Baucom, kept pouring points through to
almost run the students off the floor. Then in the third quar
ter the students went to drastic methods as Dorsey Hogart
and his cheerleaders took the floor to stop Mrs. Haynes. How-
ever, it only added confusion ax

Mr. Burris was born September

where he was class salutatorian and
president of the student body.
At Wingate College, “Al” met his

grity, unwholesome attitudes, and
unchristian motives.
There should be no person in the
community better educated than the
minister. To the extent this is vio
lated his leadership is impeded even
while his personal integrity remains
above reproach.
The minister’s undergraduate work
should be in liberal arts. No quali
ties of soul or purpose or motive will
take the place of that. The minister
should have a good backgroimd in
literature, science, history, sociology,
psychology, and government. These
should be seasoned with at least
some introductory work in music.

In the second game the students,

ran over the beat and beloved (?)

From Wingate, Mr. Burris went to
Wake Forest, Southern and South
eastern Seminaries, and Duke Uni
versity. At Wake Forest, he was
president of the Student Legislature
in 1950-51.
In 1958, Mr. Burris came to Gard-
ner-Webb to teach world historj'
and ogvernment. Before coming to
G.-W., he was a naval officer. He
says that G.-W. is a Christian school
with a tremendous potential in
American eduaction, and, “I like it.”
Our Top Prof has brown hair and
blue eyes and is 5’8” tall. He likes
charcoaled steak better than any
other food. He enjoys teaching stu
dents who have “teachable minds”
and who are “stimulated with an in
tellectual curiosity for all of life.”
Mr. Burris believes that, “life itself
is given to each person as a sacred
trust in which God calls us to live
it to the fullest, here and now.” H's
ambition is to find his place in the
field of Christian Education.
Mr. Burris wants G.-W. students to
them some stimulation to think for
themselves.”

"TRACING THE BULLDOGS"
With Douff Goans
After losing their opening conference tilt to Ashevil);
Biltmore 66-59 in a thriller, the Bulldogs traveled to Mars Ki ;'
for a battle with the Lions.
The Bulldogs were sharp and a real good team that mi;>:h ..
but they were up against a team that wasn’t supposei! '
lose that night. They fell at the hands of the Lions 107-97.
Mike Goodman, the Bulldogs’ lanky forward, and Mici
Hoyle of the Lions staged two of the most spectacular i
formances of their careers. Goodman, who pumped throu
40 points that night was barely bested by Hoyle who chalk ;
up 41.
It is the job of the seminary to
provide the specialty training of the
minister after college just as a
medical school provides the after
college training of a physician. Law
school follows college training
wherein one has had “pre-law”
courses. Seminary work is grad
uate work in a specialized field. A
broad liberal education is “pre-min-
isterial" work.
In a real sense we do not have on
this campus any ministerial students
any more than we have medical or
law students. We have pre-law stu
dents, pre-medical students, and
pre-ministerial students. The minis
try cannot otherwise be a calling of
professional rank.
But suppose one may not, or def
initely cannot, go on from college to
seminary. What about him? He
should still take a liberal arts course.
He should not—ever—major in Bible
or religious education. A Bible major
is not a sufficiently broad back
ground to serve as a basis for sem
inary training. A broad education
aids in the attainment of an open
mind and helps one to get rich di
vidends from private study, exten
sion work, clinics, and conferences.
On the other hand there is no col
lege that is able to provide the
training in Bible and theology a
minister needs. But if his college
training is broad and thorough, the
minister can gain much on his own
after college.
The BuUdogs led at only one point
m the game 26-25 with 10 minutes
elapsed in the first half.
The next week, just before the
holidays, the Bulldogs downed a fine
Western Caorlina Freshmen team
for their initial victory of the 1958-
’59 campaign. They edged the Cata
mounts 66-59.
The Bulldogs trailed most of the
way untU the final 10 minutes of the
game. They went into a full court
press with Bobby Jones, Harrell
Cloninger, Don Bridges and Jimmy
Sunmiey stealing the ball repeated
ly-
It was the Bulldogs’ initial win
and a Christmas present to Coach
Bob Blackburn.
Mike Goodman had 15 for the
Bulldogs, trailed closely by David
Ezell with 12 and Don Bridges with
10.
With the holidays behind them
the Bulldogs came back confident
that they were on the right ti’ail
now, but as fate would have it they
ran into a very good team on one
of their excellent nights.
The team was the Furman Fresh
men team and the Bulldogs fell 94-
84 to the Purple Hurricane.
Furman moved ahead after the
BuUdogs dropped a 41-40 halftime
advantage and G-W just couldn’t
catch up from there on. It had been
a close battle until the middle of
the second half. Furman’s longest
lead was 18 points 83-65 with four
minutes remaining. The big black
narrowed their lead to 10, but time
David Ezell led the G-W team n
scoring with 27 points followtd
closely by Mike Goodman with i9
and Bobby Jones with 18.
The Bulldogs’ next game was i
conference tUt, their third, and it
was at home with Wingate. Win
gate had not yet played a regulaa-
season conference game so it was
their first. The score was 99-63 the
largest margin that the Bulldogs
have been beaten this season.
Big Bobby Frank, the 6’10” center
for Wingate, led his team with 18
points followed by Klynt Leonard,
“Smiley” Holleman, and Bob Sum
merville each with 12 points.
David Ezell with 15 points and
Ned Duncan with 14 led the Bull
dogs of G.W.
The last game before exams was
at Western Carolina College with
their Freshman team. The Bulldogs
came of the hardwoods victorious
as they handed W. C. C. Fi'eshman
a 75-69 defeat.
The Bulldogs led all the way, but
with the Catamounts constantly
thi-eatening. The longest lead en
joyed by G. W. was 10 points and
W. C. tied it at 48 all in the second
half.
David Ezell, the big gun for G. W.
in the last few weeks had 21 for the
Bulldogs followed by Bobby Jones
and Mike Goodman with 14 and 12
points respectively.
Bucky Pryor led the Catamounts
with 22 points followed by Charles
Crawford with 14, Dave Ehle with

ister and was a pastor for ten years.
He is for the pastors. Yet he knows
that a minister is not necessarily
qualified to counsel or advise a pre-
mlnisterial student just by virtue of
his being a pastor. Pastors are men
of strong convictions, and some
times their convictions are stronger
than their knowledge and back
ground are broad. Many pastors are
qualified to help the ministerial stu
dent.
A young man looking toward the
ministry should seek counsel where
he can find it. But the decision in
the final analysis is both private
and personal.
Haynes pulled down most of the re-
boimds or the acuity with Ed Lohr,
John Keeter, and Carl Neal, getting
most of them for the students.
This was a better organized game
than the first and easy to watch and
keep with. Jerry Oallicutt and Bill
Nix each had 10 points to lead the
students with Coach Blackburn
leading the faculty scoring with 13.
