The gamecock. (Columbia, S.C.) 1908-2006, May 11, 1962, Page Page Six, Image 6
Four months is a long time. Yep, it's been 14 weeks since
I took over as Sports Editor of the "Gamecock," a grand
total of 102 days, or to be a little more exact, 146,880
minutes, about 14,712,800 ticks on the clock. And I loved
every one of them.
Carolina and especially the "Gamecock" have been very
good to me. To be given an opportunity to not only write
for, but to serve as an editor on the best college newspaper
in South Carolina is a privilege which has more than repaid
me for all the work I have done this year.
How well I remember the highlights of this year. Mar
vin Bass' gutty football team BEATING CLEMSON, Bob
Steven's basketball Birds BEATING CLEMSON, Track
Coach Weems Baskin's squad BEATING CLEMSON, even
the freshman baseballers BEATING CLEMSON!! Yes, little
things like this mean a lot.
More than anything, the "Gamecock" has meant a
a wonderful series of friends that I know I shall never lose.
Doug and Howard answering innumerable stupid questions.
Joanie's frantic, but ever-patient presence. Mike, my choice
for Carolina's most valuable non-competitor, keeping the
Russell House open especially for me.
There are many more, people without whose aid even the
imperfect job I have done would have been impossible. Time
and space are not available to show adequately their con
tributions. My heartfelt thanks will have to be their reward.
A great deal of my appreciation for this semester goes
to my assistant this year, Freddie Schumpert. From writing
to photography, Freddie has come through this year, and
will make a fine Sports Editor next year. Many thanks to
a fine writer and my friend.
Those wonderful days spent in that little "home away
from home" on second floor of the Russell IIouse. Fighting
with Bob and Murray over ads, bothering )oug, arguing
with Cloudy, helping Donna. A small era of my life that
will always occupy a large place in my heart.
Now it's behind me. With all its happiness, heartaches,
humbleness, hard work, exhileration, <lisappointments an(
rewards. The rewards, however, have beei all mine, Caro
lina, for being allowed to become a i-rt. however snmall, of
your Community.
