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

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

T-?f w n nw ffWf nfmnfww w wf! i«f Mn REGISTRAR, DEAN OF ADMISSION ' Greetings, Gardner-Webb Wants You! After having a bout with illness at the first of the year, Mr. Abrams returned to fill his position as Director of Admissions. The job of student procurement is a long and tedious task which requires an un- canny ability to tell whether or not a prospective student is the type of person that Gardner-Webb desires by merely reading an application. Another of Mr. Abram ' s duties is the organization and direction of visits to higli schools for the purpose of acquaint- ing students with our curriculum. His visits include summer assemblies, where his goal is that of upholding the idea of Christian education. In a most competent and responsible manner, Mr. Abrams is making his con- tribution in fulfilling Gardner-Webb ' s pur- pose -the developing of quality Christian students. Mrs. Hamrick advises a prospective transfer. Mr. Abrams, Dean of Admissions, processes thousands of applications each year. 19
