6 The Pilot / October 14,1994 ENTERTAINMENT Homecoming festivities celebrate change by Scott Elliott staff writer “Celebrating Change” is the theme for this year's Homecoming festivities. Homecoming Week kicks off Monday, October 10 and contin ues through Saturday, October 15. Gardn^-Webb has changed drastically over the years. It began as a boarding high school in 1907. The institution became Boiling Springs Jun ior College in 1928. Many people sacrificed to help Boiling Springs Junior College survive the Great Depression. Farmers were encouraged “to plant and cul tivate one acre of cotton for the use and benefit of the college. Women were asked to contribute a chicken for the purpose of procuring books for the library,” according to a 1930 report of the TYust- ees. The name Gardner-Webb College was adopted in 1942 and honors Governor O. Max Gardner and his wife. Fay Webb Gardner. The school operated as a junior college until 1971, when it received full senior college accredi tation. In January 1993, the name was changed to Gardner-Webb University because of a continued growth in size, academic excellence and quality of student life. Gardner-Webb has always been a great place to be, but now there is a greater sense Of commu nity. We've learned that we can accomplish many things by working together. Let's all celebrate the changes we have seen and are going to see.
