EDITION Vol. 43 Published by National Oglethorpe Alumni Assoeiation. January, 1961 No. 4 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.

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. Page 2 The Flying Petrel 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."

Several announcements of immedi- ate interest are anticipated. The address will be given during the convocaiton which will be held in the auditorium at 1 1 A.M. All alumni and friends of Ogle- thorpe are cordially invited to attend. January, 1961 Page 3 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.

Page 4 The Flying Petrel 9^ 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.
