BSU Gets '59-60 Year Off To A Big Start
For the past seven years as pastor of the First Baptist
Church in Boone, Dr. L. H. Hollingsworth has worked closely
with 1,200 Baptist students enrolled at Appalachian State
Teachers College. In his new position at Wake Forest Col
lege, he is serving even more Baptist students, in addition to
being the first fulltime chaplain to all students and faculty
that the college has ever had. His coming to lead in the
Campus Revival, October 12 through 16, is a great oppor
tunity for the students of Gardner-Webb to learn the excite
ment of being constantly “c
“open door” to the hearts of others.
There is not a more thrilling or
satisfying experience for a Chris
tian than the winning of others to
Christ.
Dr. Hollingsworth began his col
lege training at Gardner-Webb and
continued at Wake Forest College.
He attended New Orleans Baptist
Theological Seminary and did fur
ther study at Southeastern Baptist
Theological Seminary. While in the
army he served as a chaplain in
World War II. Before his pastorate
at Boone, Dr. Hollingsworth was
pastor of the First Baptist Church
of Mebane, North Carolina. His
worlc in the Baptist State Conven
tion has been wide and varied, for
he has served both as the President
of the General Board and Chair
man of the Committee of Twenty-

These local unions link the students

the needs peculiar to college stu

have participated in priods of sing-

Campus Clubs Discuss Plans For The Year
THE MARSHAL CLUB
The Marshal Club is the honor
society of our college and member
ship in this organization is the high
est honor which a Gardner - Webb
student may receive. Ttie members
aie chosen on the basis of high
scholastic standing, character, lead
ership, and service on the campus.
An impressive “tapping” ceremony
is held during a chapel service to
ward the end of each school year,
and students who have been chosen
for membership in the Marshal
Club are inducted at this service.
There are two groups within the
Marshal club—the active marshals,
and the honorary marshals. The
active marshals aa’e chosen by the
faculty, and they serve as marshals
at graduation and as ushers at pub
lic college functions. The honorary
marshals are chosen by students
whc are members of the Marshal
Club and they together with the
active marshals compose the entire
Marshal Club.
The active Marshal Club mem
bers this year are: Walter Camp
bell and Margaret England, co
chiefs, Jo Ann Brittain, Richard
Ammons, Loretta Brooks, Roger
Gladden, Recca Greene, Jerry Jolley,
George Mantooth, Peggy Jo Puett,
Denny Turner, and Elizabeth Rabon.
The honorary Marshal Club mem
bers are: Susan Abernathy, Char-
maine Austin, Marilyn Roper, Fred
Childress, Gordon Davis, Brenda
Ellis, Jo Ann Tessner, Troy Houser,
E. L. Reese, Ray Suttles, and Jo
sephine Roper.
The Y.W.A.’s are looking forward
to a very successful year. They are
planning two meetings each month,
one in the afternoon and one at
night. The first meeting, with thir
ty girls present, was held on Sep
tember 24th in the parlor of Stroup
Dormitory.
The main event planned is the
visit of a representative from Miss
Sara Ann Hobbs’ office. This should
be very interesting, and it is hoped
that more girls will join the Y.W.A.’s
in th's and all other meetings.
DFLTA PSI OMEGA
The Delta Psi Omega is our col
lege dramatic society. Its aim is to
promote interest and participation
in a high type of dramaticse on our
campus. A student is eligible for
m‘-,mbership in the Delta Psi Omega
after participation in a college play
production. In order that any fresh
men who are interested may have
the opportunity to become eligible
for membership in the Delta Psi
Omega, the club plans to present a
one-act comedy sometime during
this fall semester. Try-outs will be
announced and a cast will be chosen
f'cm those students presenting
themselves.
THE MONOGRAM CLUB
The Monogram Club, an all male
organization, is looking forward to
accomplishing big things in the
coming months. The officers for
the year are: President.Ed Lohr;
Vice President, Roger Gladden; Sec-
retary-treasurer. Bill Nix. To be
eligible for membership, a boy must
have attained a letter in either
football, basketball, baseball, or
track. The purposes of The Mono
gram Club are to bring about a bet
ter understanding among the stu
dents and to give members of the
club an opportunity to participate
in school activities. In addition to
conducting one chapel program dur
ing the year, the boys are planning
to sell refreshments at all our home
athletic events. One of the most
important activities in the near fu
ture is the induction of new mem-
The main objective of The Mono
gram Club is to stress school spirit.
As was evident at the first pep-rally
of the year, we desperately need an
upsurge of our school spirit. We
seem to have very little enthusiasm
toward our activities. When the op
portunity was given to attend an
out of town football game, out of
our “record enrollment,” only thir
ty six students, including cheerlead
ers, responded. It is quite obvious
that something is wi’ong when there
are more boys on the team than
there are spectators at the game.
The Monogram Club is eager to
enlist the support of every student
in helping to make our athletic pro
gram more profitable. Let’s sup

give their best in every athletic

Church of Areadis, South Carolina.
For eleven years he worked with the

heard by way of the grapevine that
Dr. Gillespie decided to root for
G.-W. this year in basketball since
we gave North Greenville such a
good fight last year. His hobby is
driving over the mountains and
along the seashore especially in
Key West, Florida. While interview

If you happen to see a student
studying for a Bible test, he probably
has class under Dr. Poston. Dr. Pos
ton was born near Spartanburg,
South Carolina. When he was two
years of age, his family moved to
Shelby. This local lad grew up in
Shelby and attended Shelby City
Schools and Gardner-Webb College.
After receiving his Phd., he was
pastor of the First Baptist Church
in Wallace, N. C., and Jonesboro
Baptist Church in Jonesboro, Geor
gia. He is married to the former
