T P WWI DEANS mi A Successful Second Year as Dean of Instruction As Dean of Instruction, Dr. J. Tliur- man Lewis ' services are always required. Dr. Lewis, as students and faculty both are aware, is inexhaustable. He deals mainly with the educational phases of the college, but also helps to interpret the college, its functions and purposes to the community. As noted before, his involv- ment with education is his primary and most time-consuming task. In fact, he is responsible for the administration of the entire mstructional program. Dean Lewis embarks on a conference, one of his many daily activities. Mis. Wylie, Secretary to Dean Lewis, cheerfully re- places a spindled, mutilated, and folded IBM card for a student. 17 mtm

Personality in a Position of Importance The task of Vice-President, although very time con- suming, never keeps Mr. McGraw from giving a word of wit. The Vice-President of the college, Mr. Thomas J. McGraw, is the fund-raising public relations man on campus. He as- sists Dr. Poston in all fund-raising cam- paigns and serves as executive secretary of these campaigns. He also has the privilege of organizing and promoting Christian Education Day when each Baptist church in the state gives a special offering directly to the sup- port of the college. Besides being a fund raiser, Mr. Mc- Graw serves as the chief assistant to the President and presides over the college in the absence of the president. He also as- sumes the responsibility of establishing and maintaining an adequate public rela- tions program by presiding over the public relations committee. Mr. McGraw, one of the most well- liked administrators on campus, plays an extremely valuable role in the operation of one of the most rapidly progressing colleges in the Southeast. 16 .J LilJi ,n. ,• ' . r ' I ■■ ' ■■ f TTm?

Gardner-Webb ' s Dean of Women, Miss Nancy Sorrells, welcomes distinguished guest of the college. The Big Three with the Mission Almost Impossible ' mm ' Thomas F. Holland. Dean of Students, has what is perhaps the most difficult position of administration at any college. During his second year reign, he has become a mediator between the admini- stration and the students; and somehow he manages to satisfy both. Aside from serving as the middle-man, he works in cooperation with Student Government to promote such events as The Tarns, and Anthony and the Imperials. Besides his duties of coaching. Ken Sanford also assumes the full-time posi- tion of Dean of Men. The siglit of Coach Sanford in the men ' s dorm late at niglit is not an extraordinary occurrence. Many are the times he is summoned to referee a water battle, or read the dorm rules to the new students. In her position as Dean of Women, Nancy Sorrells provides a working re- lationship between students and admini- stration. Her position entails such acti- vities as coordinating Women ' s Affairs Board and directing disciplinary actions. In filhng this position she has succeeded admirably in keeping her relationship with the student, both friendly and personal. iiiMMiiMAil ■im
