Capable Hands At The Helm President Poston Providing the force and vigor to direct Gardner-Webb ' s surge into the future are three dedicated men, Eu- gene Poston, Thomas McGraw, and Robert Isner. As President of the Col- lege, Dr. Poston is daily providing the vision and faith to vitalize Gard- ner-Webb ' s Decade of Advance. He is the driving spirit behind the college ' s new growth. In the brand- new office of Vice President, Mr. Mc- Graw faces the enormous task of co- ordinating the fund raising campaign. To the job he brings executive ability and ceaseless energy. The involvement of the President and of the Vice Pres- ident in the expansion program has thrown more and more of the day by day operation of the school upon Mr. Isner. He bears the work with fairness and capability. Despite the complexity and urgency of the problems facing these men they have remained aware of the needs of the students of G-W, keeping themselves constantly avail- able to be of help in any way.
