If you do, you should be utilizing your talents in the recently organized Pep Band. This band is functioning for the basic purpose of promoting school spirit. Most of the present members, like many of you, had not played an instrument in several months, but it is surprising how quickly you can “get back into shape.” If you are interested in this organization contact Mr. Jerry Hill at your earliest onvenience. Remember, the success of the band depends upon each of you. Practice is held at 4:00 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays and at 10:00 a.m. on Fridays. couldn’t believe they called her name. “They kept say ing, ‘Go on, Gloria, but I .iust didn’t believe it was real ly me.” Gloria is a graduate of Edmunds High School, in Sumter, where she played basketball and tennis, and was a member of the Block S club.

STUDENTS RECALL Continued From Page Six students who had come to college just out of high school. I thought anything the teachers asked they would have the answers but I soon found out differently. All in all I’m beginning to like colege more and more every day. Tommy Melton — It was hard for me at first to au- just to new people and a new school because in high school I knew everyone and it felt just like home. It was also very hard for me not to go out for football in college because it has been so much a part of my life and had so much to do wjjth just everything I did. Not playing football is the hardest adjustment I am having to make to be able to stay in college. Tommy Petree — In order to avoid the rush to give five hundred dollars to someone I didn’t know, I came to Gardner-Webb one day early. I felt out of place until I met Nancy Brown, and did she really lay it on. At times I thought the sophomores were trying to discourage us. That first Friday of classes really shook me up. I didn't think I’d ever get through studying all of the lessons that the teachers threw at us. However, later I found out that this was only the beginning. Bryan Gruver — Among the things that I found hard to understand was why they had only one photographer here during our first days of college. Some of the people, mainly me, had to stand in line for four hours and when I got right up to the door the girl who was in charge of calling on the people, politely said that the rest of us would have to come back tomorrow. When I finally got my subjects worked out I started for English class and had no idea where it met. After waiting in line to see Mrs. Hamrick to find out where my class met, I arrived when it was almost over. Jonnine Bell — Orientation week was the most hectic ones 1 have ever spent. Many things were done to help Freshmen. For example, the welcome on the first day helped everyone feel at home and really among friends. The choice of courses was my greatest worry. Standing in line every time you turned around also was nerve wracking, but, of course, this was to be expected. The many programs of instruction gave me a better under standing of what was going on. On the whole it was a good program, but 1 surely am glad it’s over. Brenda L. Dula — I would really have been “lost” if it had not been for the splendid efforts of the B.S.U., and faculty, and just everyone here at Gardner-Webb during orientation week. Leaving home to come to a new “world” is frightening for most anyone and I appreciate the con geniality shown toward me. Registration wasn’t too rush ed—|-I’m glad I had time to get adjusted to campus before having to go through that. I’m sure that orientation week can be improved—everything can be, but right now, I can’t suggest one improvement. It was wonderful.
