Tutoring Programs A tutoring program in volving Gardner-Webb students has been started at the Boys Club in Shelby. Presently five students leave Gardner-Webb every Thursday at 3:30 from the Charles I. Dover Lounge and return at 5:30. The two hours are spent helping young boys, ages 10-14, inmath, read ing and science. Many times the boys only want attention and someone to talk to. One of the students who has been tutoring stated that she enjoyed working with the boys because it gave her experience in teaching, and was a reward ing experience. She was con cerned that the boys really need help and that she can see a “breakthrough.” Her rewari comes from the con tentment and happiness she sees on their faces. Any student who would like to take part in this project should meet the others in the Student Lounge at 3:30 any Thursday afternoon or contact Miss Ruth Kiser. The Boys Club needs the help of Gard- ner-Webb students and the boys need someone who cares. *70-’71 Siveetheart Queen LaNita Wright Wright Is Queen BOILING SPRINGS, N.
