Canteen Manager McGinnis
Caters to Students' Tastes
By COHKY FIELD
When the pains of hunger and the
pangs of nostalgia clutch at the vitals
of Guilford folk, the bookstore and
.1. \V. become their retreat and solace.
In that dim interior McGinnis guides
the hearty appetites of many a care
free coed and most of the ailing ath
letes. On him rests the responsibility
of ordering vast amounts of foodstuffs,
and by its sale is his income deter
mined. According to statistics re
leased by J. W. (we shall refer to
him by his firm name), students here
consume i:(20 bottles of Coca-Cola
monthly, some 750 bars of candy, 3(io
cartons of Nabs. In addition, they
purchase such novelties as desk blot
ters, stationery, handkerchiefs, jew
elry, greeting cards, fresh apples, ra
zor blades, and textbooks.
J. W.'s liest customers are Otwell
and Gibbons, who partake of his re
freshments before they begin their
nightly task of cleaning the library.
Also to Margy Ellison is this sales
man indebted, for when only fairly
hungry, that gal can consume an ice
NUMBER II
Two Added to Group
To Serve Next Year
At Major Functions
Eight junior marshals, selected from
members of the present sophomore
class, have been chosen by the faculty
ami their names have been announced
by Dr. Eva Campbell, who is faculty
adviser.
Chosen on the basis of their schol
arship, there are four boys and four
girls: Roy Leake, chief marshal. Ilia
Jeffre, Ken Brown, Helen Lyon, Vir
ginia Pope, Paul Pearson, Sadie White,
and Sam Price. They will serve dur
ing 1941-1942.
The duties of the group will be to
usher at commencement and other col
lege programs, and it will be the duty
of the head marshal to lead the pro
cession at commencement.
In previous years, there have been
only six marshals chosen, but, ex
plained l)r. Campbell, it was usually
diflicult to get all six together to per
form their duties. This was due to
participation of some of them in the
program. For this reason, it was de
cided to choose eight, of whom six
would be present at each function.
Junior marshals who were chosen
for this year are: Charles Lewis, chief,
Murray Osborne, I'errine Bilyeu, Ma
rie Grumbrecht, Miriam Cummin, and
Margaret Jones.

I mail up?"—a million times a day, but
to these agonized queries, he can make

behind those dusty, paneless boxes.

his proficiency in the barber's role.
It was white he was scalping Mr. I'ar

that the business manager agreed to
keep him in mind (under threat, per
haps) for the job. Enterprising busi

won't he think of next?
