May Court Members Compete for Crown Today
Enrollment Continues
To Rise As Second
Semester Draws Near
Thirty-Seven Men, Five
Women Already Registered;
More Enrollees Expected
According to the records in the regis
tration office, there are 2(12 students
now enrolled at Guilford College. The
enrollment for the second semester will
show a marked increase over this
figure.
At this time 37 men and five women
are expected to enter. There are sev
eral more possibilities, so by the time
the semester actually has started, the
total may be much higher.
Among the men who have registered,
several are former students, namely
Jack Arzonico, David Solotog, Henry
Pollock, Hoy Christiansen, David Spie
gel, Jimmy Andrew, Norman Shaen,
Tom Pleasants, Hoyt Hinshaw, and
Owen Lindley.
Three of the women who are ex
pected have sisters already here. These
are Betty Blair, sister of Jane Blair,
Mary Grey Warden, sister of Rosa Lee
Warden, and Lois Carmien, sister of
Beatrice Carmien.
The ratio of men to women the first
semester has been about 1 man to 1.7
women, so with the relative increase
of men, the ratio for the second semes
ter will be nearer the balance of one
man to one woman.

The Heathen and Me; or
Why Are You So Queer?
By SNAKI KNIGHT
, In China, the heathen Chinee is re-

readily see that customs are queer—

(lass Of '46 Elects
Court: Students Elect
Queen, Maid-of-Honor
The annual election of the May
Queen is being held today in Memorial
Hall from 8 :30 in the morning to 4:00
in the afternoon. The eight candidates
for the queen who were elected by the
senior class are: Nancy Miller, Mary
Britton, Linda Pell, Iris Beville, Grace
Siler, Frances Slier, Peggy Taylor, and
Martha McLellan.
The candidate who receives the high
est number of votes will be crowned
queen at the May Day festivities to be
held sometime in May under the spon
sorship of the Woman's Athletic As
sociation. The runner-up will be the
maid-of-honor and the remaining six
will comprise the court.
All students are urged to cast their
vote today. Each voter is to check
only one candidate or else the ballot
will be void.
The election is held under the regu
lations of the Student Affairs Board.
The election committee in charge is
Paulie Fuller, chairman, Midge Ridge,
and Kemp Foster.
Martin Reports Progress
To Date On College Annual
M. J. Martin, editor of the Quaker,
announces that the business matters
ure up to date. Kemp Foster, business
manager, has done a wonderful job of
selling the ads. The class pictures
have been received from the photog
raphers and are mounted. Art work
by Dottee Shute and Snaki Knight Is
well under way.
The staff, composed of M. J., Kemp,
and I'eggy Stabler, managing editor, is
having dilllculty with the photography,
and would like all members of organi
zations to please be present when a
picture is scheduled so that it will be
complete as the deadline prevents re
takes of pictures.
If students have recent pictures
showing life on campus which they
would like to loan to the Quaker, the
editor will appreciate them, because
Aim shortage and lack of photog
raphers have cut down on the usual
quota.
The Quaker is expected to come out
at the usual time—the latter part of
May.
If there are students who want to
help with the yearbook in any way,

dignity, as seniors should. And then
cane the juniors. And then came the
sophomores. And then came the fresh
men. This, however, is such an ancient
custom that few of us recall it, but
those few often feel a sort of nostalgia
about twice a week.
And there are other customs at Guil

precisely at the most exciting point in
a basketball game when the score is

Where else does a patriotic dining hall
