FACULTY SUMMER PLANS
ARE QUITE UNDECIDED
Several Teach In Summer School Here
and Elsewhere; Others Have
Somewhat Vague Plans.
"I DON'T KNOW" FREQUENT REPLY
All Friends, 'tis truly a sad world
when those engaged in the soul chal
lenging pastime of teaching the young
idea how to shoot, are without ideas
concerning that simple, yet not so sim
ple thing, life. After preparing the com
ing generation to wrest from life and
the world the best that these can give,
those individuals are undecided as to
what life holds for them in the coming
months. Who else could fit such a
paradox of wisdom and indecision, fore
thought and no foreknowledge, but the
faculty.
Whence say you this outbreak (I
purposely omit impassioned), whence
this outbreak on the professional state
of inind. Gaze, my friends upon this
sad scene.
A young, inexperienced unsuspecting
member of the reportorial staff ap
proaches one of these impersonations
of a fount of wisdom and understand
ing.
"Would it inconvenience yon to in
form the Grii.FouDiAX of some of your
plans for the summer."
Now what could be fundamentally
wrong with such a question, it is re
spectful to the point of timidity, it is
stated correctly and clearly and it
shows genuine interest in the affairs
of a fellowman. Such a question then
rightly deserves an answer which takes
cognizance of all these finer intricacies
of interrogation. But does it get this
answer? Ilere we might digress feel
ingly and at length but space and repu
tation confine. Be it enough to say
that such is not the character of the
answer. The preponderance of answers
to this question was a simple "I don't
know." Not a gruff "I don't know,"
not an authoritative "I don't know,"
but a simple, an indecisive "I don't
know."
However, all is not dark which seems
so for witness the reflection of fire on

ANNUAL COMPLETED
APPEARS THIS WEEK
Numerous Changes; Modern
Cover, Blue and Silver; 168
Individual Photographs.
DEDICATED TO FACULTY
The Quaker , year book of Guilford
College, appeared on campus this week
in its modern cover of bright blue and
silver, marking another year, in pic
ture, of the student life in this insti
tion. Appearing for the first time in
a bright color, the annual presents a
different and delightful front, yet sim
ple in design since simplicity is the
central theme of the book. Some of
the changes that have been made in
the organization and composition of
the annual include: The section for
faculty pictures, the arrangement of the
senior pictures, the dedication, and
other divisions. The number is dedi
cated to our entire faculty who have
so faithfully served in the advance
ment of the education and the spirit of
Guilford. The faculty pictures section
is changed so as to include pictures
on one page and write-ups on another
page. The Senior pictures are grouped
four on a page and are outlined in
a square rather than oval.
Pictures in the Quaker are quite
numerous, there being 168 individual
photographs, a record breaking number,
in this issue. There is also an increase
in the number of sponsors chosen by
the different campus organizations.
Two pages are devoted to President
Emeritus Raymond Binford featuring
a large picture and a tabulation of his
accomplishments here at Guilford Col
lege.

Annual Picnic Held In Pasture;
"String Dances" a Feature.
FULP IS MASTER OF CEREMONIES
The .Junior class honored tlie Seniors
and faculty at the annual banquet Sat
urday night, May 18, in Founder's hall.
The idea of .Medievalism predominated
in the program and decorations. King
Ernest White and Queen Anne Wiley

comed by King Marvin Sykes and
Queen Frances Alexander. Court-jester
Jimmy Fulp distributed wittingly and
knowingly appropriate favors to the
Seniors in the form of police badges,

eas and other strikingly symbolic sou
venirs. Ernest White replied to the

"court proceedings" which proved to
he a take-off 011 (lie Junior meetings,
A playlet entitled, "The Love Affairs
of Eloise and Gerard" and flavored
with the spirit of the Middle Ages,

It showed the power of Virtue and
Beauty. A delicious menu prepared
under the direction of Miss Elizabeth
Bruce was served.
While the Juniors and Seniors en
joyed their banquet, the merry Sopho
mores entertained the Freshmen. The
Freshmen congregated in front of Foun
der's hall carrying baskets, tooth
brushes, and glasses of water. They
were not dressed in the latest college
style, to say the least. After making
a desperate effort to cleanse the new
flagstone walk, they were "grotesquely"'
paired off and set forth for a ramble
