Forward Oglethorpe Fund Over $19,000

The Class of 1940 with 27 donors is outstripping all others in total number
of contributors to the Forward Oglethorpe Fund. It is followed by the Class of
1953 with 19 donors, a tie for third with 18 each between the Class of 1939
and 1954, and fourth place with 17
by last years winners the Class of May 13
1958.

Seventeen classes with 10 to 15
donors are bunched behind the lead-
ers. They all add up to 452 donors
who have contributed a record S19,-
202.07, and there are still eight months
remaining in this fiscal year.

Some 400 alumni who have con-
tributed at least once during the last
four years have not given during the
present campaign. If they were to give
again this year, our percentage of
alumni donors would top that of
Emory University, and Emory is in
its twelfth year of a unified alumni
loyalty fund.

While total gifts are at a record, we
are still about $7,800 short of our
minimum goal of S27,000. Several
substantial gifts will probably be
needed to reach our goal, but many
alumni pitching in with ten, five and
one dollars will help a great deal
toward closing the gap. Equally im-
portant, each gift received, regardless
of the amount, raises our alumni giv-
ing to a more significant percentage.

We need your help. Write your
check today for a greater Oglethorpe.

A MESSAGE FROM
YOUR PRESIDENT

As this issue of The Flying Petrel

reaches you, over one-half of this
Administration's term will have been
completed. As you know, the FOR-
WARD OGLETHORPE FUND Drive
(a united Alumni and Booster Club
effort) has been "The Project of the
Year." We are most grateful that at
this time almost $20,000 of the
327,000 goal has been raised.

Of equal importance is the number
of alumni who give their financial
support to their Alma Mater. Last
year we had 350 alumni who con-
tributed. Thus far over 450 have
pledged their support which is a step
in the right direction, but there should
be at least 600 of us this year who
would be glad to lend their support
whether it is SI 00 or Sl.OO so,
please talk to your friends who are
alumni, and ask that they show their
interest in their school by helping at
this time.

In addition to The Drive and our
annual Fall Dinner-Dance, a commit-
tee chaired by Phil Hildreth "34 is
busy completing plans for a breakfast
for teachers who are alumni. It will
be held on March 24 during the Geor-
gia Education Association Meetings in
Atlanta. This should be quite an im-
pressive affair.

It is my sincere wish that each of
you could visit the Oglethorpe Campus
in order that you could feel the en-
thusiam which dominates everyone and
everything. Moral is probably at an
all time high. It is a real thrill to
attend the basketball games in our new
Field House, not only to see our ex-
cellent team in action, but also to
watch the cheering crowds, the en-
thusiastic cheerleaders, and hear the
student band, "The Saints".

Once again I urge each of you to
renew your interest in our Alma Mater,
and make your faith known through
vour support to the FORWARD
OGLETHORPE FUND Drive.

See you in May?

Sincerely,

O. K. Sheffield, Jr., President
National Alumni Association
Oglethorpe University

ALUMNI ATTRACT
UNSOLICITED GIFTS

Two gifts, totalling S350, have been
received recently from corporations.
The largest gift of S300 was given by
the Gulf Oil Corporation, and a fifty
dollar gift was donated by the House-
hold Finance Co.

Oglethorpe has received several
corporate gifts this year. These two
are significant because they were un-
solicited.

Of special interest to the alumni is
the fact that the size of the gifts are
determined by a formula which uses
the percentage of contributing alumni
and the amount of alumni contribu-
tions relative to the size of our student
body.

We have received gifts from these
firms for three years. The size of the
gifts this year were determined by
alumni giving last year. Next year, un-
solicited gifts will be larger because
Oglethorpe's alumni are supporting
their alma mater this year in record
numbers and amounts.

When the Need Arises

. . . help yourself and Oglethorpe ath-
letics by using the following three co-
operating business firms.

Oglethorpe now has an agreement
with Global Van Lines for your mov-
ing needs. In Atlanta, the Global agent
is Cherry Transfer & Storage Com-
pany, MUrray 8-6660.

Your move may originate and end
almost anywhere in the world. Simply
tell your local agent "This is an Ogle-
thorpe Move", and notify the alumni
office. Several hundred dollars have
been received as a result of Oglethorpe
moves.

Covington Auto Service a franchised
Ford dealer twenty-five miles east of
Atlanta, will help the cause. When
you buy a new or late model used car
or truck tell them it's an "Oglethorpe
Car ". If you see Wendell Crowe '25,
say "Hey".

Now is the time to line up Butt-
rill Builders, Inc. for your new swim-
ming pool. Call Jim Hinson '49 at
me" 6-3730, and tell him you want
to have an "Oglethorpe Pool" by
swimming time.

The above firms will offer their
services to you at prices which are
competive.

Keep them in mind when you need
a MOVE, a CAR, or a POOL.

Honor Roll of Investors

Private business and industry sup-
ported educational tree enterprise in
Georgia with record gifts. In the year
ending June 30, 1960, they gave the
Ga. Foundation for Independent Col-
leges 225 gifts totaling 5119,488.25.

Oglethorpe is one of nine Georgia
colleges which will benefit from those
contributions.

The underlying reason for most of
tlie gifts can be summed up by M. E.
Grant, president of the Plantation Pipe
Line Co.

Mr. Grant said, "Never before have
such demands been placed on our
colleges and universities to supply in-
telligent and accomplished men and
women to business and industry and
to governments national, state, and
local. Our future as a nation is inti-
mately linked to our solution of the
educational problems confronting al-
most every educational institution in
the country. Many of these problems
can only be solved through additional
financial support. America's place in
the world today demands a solution."

REMINISCING WITH THE
WENDELL BROWNS

This fall, Oglethorpe dedicated its
new field house. Many students felt
it was high time. They had been hear-
ing talk all their academic hves about
getting out of that undersized cellar,
laughingly called a gymnasium, and
not having to beg around at other
schools to get a chance to play basket-
ball on a regular sized floor.

Few of us could remember, though,
back beyond the undersized cellar,
when there was no gymnasium at all.
Oh, the old gym had been built into
Lupton Hall (second part) all right,
but in later years, with the wing of
the medical school, it, as well as many
other places around Oglethorpe, suf-
fered with a new identity thrust upon
them.

The old gym was divided into two
halves horizontally. A floor swung
from the balcony straight across to
the other wall making two levels. The
upper floor did fairly well as a biology
laboratory. If it had no heat, at least
it had windows. The lower floor, lec-
ture rooms, had no heat, windows, or
ventilators. Heaters and electric lights
did their duty nobly, but not much
could be said for the fans, which
merely moved the same old tired air
around from place to place. The lec-
tuers could not have been as dry as
some like to recall, for the moisture
had worked the floor into fourteen
inch waves.

When we got the debris out of
there and the floor relaid, the effort
and the cost and the rejoicing made
us feel that we had just built a new
field house.

A good many other fine features
were left over from the medical school
piles of broken equipment in a
room known as the physics lab., a bag
of bones (human) in the basement of
Lowry, one of which got Charles
Weltner booted out of the Buckhead
Theater, but in the words of Kipling
that is another story, and what was
found in the Gaertner house, then
known as the Bloody Bucket dormi-
tory, memory blanches to recollect.

All of these are becoming dim in
the dazzle of modern Oglethorpe, but
students still go into the old gym, look
high up on the wall behind a basket,
and see a door with no approach lead-
ing into a room that none of them
has ever seen, a closet that is the last
remnant and, to some of us, the last
reminder of the biology lab once sus-
pended in the upper air of the gym-
nasium.

BOOST THE PETRELS

If you missed the Oglethorpe-Georgia Southern game you really missed
the most important athletic event the Petrels have played in 30 years. (We won
60-48) This game proved that we are really Major League.

Come see our fine team, coached by our great coach in our beautiful new
Field House. There are many good games left on our schedule. Bring your

Petrels Undefeated

The Stormy Petrels enter the new
year with a perfect slate nine
wins and no defeats. The key to the
successful start may lie with "the com-
ing of age" of sophomore Morris
Mitchell.

"Mitch", the 6"6" center, is the only
tall man on the starting five, and he
leads the squad in total points (81),*
highest average points per game,
(16.20), and in rebounds.

The two forwards, as college ball
goes, are short. Roger Couch is 6"2y2"
and Buddy Goowdin is 6'V\ yet this
trio has helped Oglethorpe control the
backboards in every contest. Five
game totals show Mitchell with 34
rebounds, Couch 27 and Goodwin 25.

Among the leaders is 5' 10" guard
Tommy Norwood with 26 rebounds.
Norwood is also the team's second
highest point maker with 61.

Rounding out the starting five is
6'1" all-state guard Jay Rowland who
is leading the team with a 62.5 field
goal percentage. He has contributed
19 rebounds.

The Petrels have become known for
their precision, ball-control kind of
ball. While not seen as readily. Coach
Garland Pinholster has worked equally
hard on the player's psychological
readiness for the season as well as for
each game.

Before each season, the team and
Pinholster set as their goal what they
feel would be reasonable for a seasons
won-loss record. Last year they de-
cided on an 18-5 record and actually
bettered it with a 21-5 chart. This
year they are on schedule toward a
predicted undefeated season.

Pinholster justifies the forecast by
saying, "we're tired of talking about
poor little Oglethorpe. When we walk
on the floor it's nothing to nothing
with everybody we play." He added,
"about half of our toughness is a
change of philosophy."

Good bench strength has been sup-
plied by 6'4" sophomore forward
Bobby Nance. He has 22 rebounds
and 6.8 points per game. Nance plays
an average of less than half a game
per outing.

The Petrels are shooting an amaz-

"It's mine," say Sam Hudgins and Jay
Rowland as Bob Nance (22). Tom Norwood
(11), and Buddy Goodwin (20). stand ready to
help. B'ham-Southern player watches help-
lessly.

ing 54.9^V per cent of their field goals.
Their opponents, who seldom get a
clear shot, are sinking 34.3 per cent.

Hopes are high that Oglethorpe will
again be one of the four teams to
HKike the NAIA 25th District play-
offs. If we are. Coach Pinholster has
