Loveland Crowned
Queen At
Valentine Banquet
By DAN SNYDER
The Sweetheart Banquet, held
on February 12, in the Bulldog
Room and sponsored by the
Young Women’s Auxiliary, was
a great success. The most im
portant thing about the banquet
was the crowning of this year’s
Sweetheart Queen. The girls
participating were: Linda Ben-
field, Jackie Bridges, Susan
Byers, Laura Day, Sheila Har
ris, Vickie Jenkins, Sherry
Jones, Kathie Loveland, Wanda
McClure, Karen Sawyer, Terry
Varner, and Sue Walker. Act
ing as master of ceremonies,
Dr. Furman Hewitt announced
Kathie Loveland as the Sweet
heart Queen for 1970.
Kathie is a sophomore and is
majoring in counseling. She is
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph F. Loveland of Hen

last year’s queen, Jill Sanders,

three distinguished couples,
the Charles Freemans, the
Charles Macks, and the Fur
man Hewitts. Even though the
game was led by one of G.W.’s
own “cop-out” students, Reg
Alexander, it proved to be very
funny and sometimes embar
rassing for the couples. At the
game’s end, the Hewitts were
declared victorious.
After the game, the evening
was completed by Rev. Gene
iVatterson, pastor of the First
Baptist Church in Shelby,
speaking on words of love and

a little love in their hearts for
their fellowman.”

tee of the school. The commit
tee will consist of the three

Curriculum Committee
Adopts New Courses
By DONNA TURNER
Courses recently adopted by
the Curriculum Committee for
the 1970-71 school year will be
in the fields of journalism, li
brary science, and music.
THE PILOT staff suggested
to the Curriculum Committee
that a one hour course in the
basic principles of journalisni
be added to the English De
partment. THE PILOT feels
that the course would give the
student an opportunity to test
and constructively direct his
writing ability. They also be
lieve that the course would
raise the quality of journal
istic writing on campus.
The Library Science Pro
gram has been designed to pre
pare students for positions as
librarians in elementary and
secondary schools and to pro
vide an introductory under
graduate background for stu
dents who plan to do graduate
work in library science. Li
brary science courses are ta
ken along with a major i n any
other field; however, students
planning to work in the public
schools would probably want to
major in either elementary or
secondary education.
The Teacher Education Pro
gram in music will enable a
student to attain certification
from the North Carolina State
Department of Education for
teaching music within the pub
lic schools of North Carolina.
The State Department of Edu
cation certifies teachers of mu
sic only as an “all level” cer
tification, which means that the
student will receive certifica
tion for teaching music in
grades 1-12. The program meets
the requirements for accredi
tation as set forth for the Tea
cher Education Program in mu
sic by the National Association
of Schools of Music, the pro
fessional accrediting agency for
Students having questions a-
bout the student teaching pro
gram for next year should con
tact one of the following faculty
members who are serving on the
Teacher Education Committee:
Dr. R. E. Carothers, Dr. James
