ROBERT W. ABRAMS Director of Development A. A., Gardner-Webb College; A.B Forest College; B.D., Southern Theological Seminary. Wake Baptist Office Of Development The Office of Development turns its attention to the prospective stu- dents and to the former students of Gardner-Webb. Mr. Abrams is not only responsible for the direction of a program of student procurement, but also directs alumni work includ- ing supervising an up-to-date mail- ing list, organizing local alumni chap- ters, and encouraging the larger Gardner-Webb Alumni Association. To acquaint prospective students with the educational program offered by this school Mr. Abrams travels ex- tensively across the state, visiting high schools, individual students, and summer assemblies. Working in con- junction with the Office of Develop- ment the Director of Church-Com- munity Development organizes and applies a program to meet the needs of the churches in the surrounding area and serves as a liaison between the churches and the college. Mrs. Janellle Hicks, office manager and secretary to the vice-president of the college, is shown at the left as she and her two assistants take a rare pause from campaign work. Mrs ' Robert L. (Bernice) Trexler, center, and Mrs. Mildred Poston have, with Mrs. Hicks, carried out enormous amounts of work during the school year with most of it centered around the ' Decade of Advance campaign. Mrs. Hicks, a former Gardner-Webb student, has served the college as a secretary for the past ten years. Peggy Houser, secretary to Mr. Abrams tackles the formidable task of mailing The Quarterly to each of G-W alumni J. THURMAN LEWIS Director of Church-Community Development B.A., Mississippi College; B.D., New Or- leans Theological Seminary; Th.D., New Orleans Theological Seminary; M.A., Johns Hopkins University. ALEX H. VAUGHN Director of Promotion B.A., Furman University; Additional Study, University of South Carolina. Office Of Promotion All publications of Gardner-Webb College actually issue from a small, busy office on the second floor of the Webb Building. The Quarterly, the Pilot, the Catalogue, the Anchor, and a constant stream of programs, ' bro- chures and pamphlets are prepared by Mr. Vaughn or by students under his direction both to help implement the academic program and to present the G-W story to the general public. The Office of Promotion not onlv works with the printed word but arranges for the broadcasting of college events by radio and television. Since the importance of newspapers has been long under- stood, a major portion of this office ' s work is in preparing and distributing news releases on all phases of the college life and in making all arrangements and reservations for the press at all college events. Gardner-Webb has been especially fortunate in securing the services of Alex Vaughn, an experienced newspaperman, for this sensitive job. After assisting with the production of a promotional movie about the college and handling the tremendous publicity tasks connected with the Convocation, Mr. Vaughn will have ample reason to well remember his first year at Gardner- Webb. 25
