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

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
