The ascension of our present unbeaten, untied and unscored-on
football team, from, the ranks of utter defeat resulting from su
perior teams, is primarily due to the spirit of the players, the
ability shown by them to play football and the unique style of
coaching by William (Doe) Newton.
To the many graduates of Guilford College who will visit the
campus today, and who will watch the team in action tonight, the
name of Coach Newton will ring a familiar note.
To those students here on the campus now, the mention of
Newton's name is enough to stir the thought of . . . casualness,
that southern accent, dry humor and ever present wit.
Our present favorite athletic director graduated from David
son College in South Carolina and two years ago returned there
to assume duties as head coach before coming to Guilford Prior
to that, genial Doe. Newton was the official mentor of State College
. . . was head coach there for seven years . . . longer than any
other coach in the history of the college.
Taking over the duties as director of athletics for a school with
500-odd students requires insight and ability to organize and
promote the needed physical requirements. Coach Newton's past
experience and keen creative ability has knit the physical educa
tion department here at Guilford into a timely and well coordi
nated organization.
In addition to Coach Newton, Paul Lentz and Page Graham
round out the athletic staff. Both Lentz and Graham assist Doc
on the football field and each conducts classes during the day.
But the reins of our successful teams and well functioning
athletic department are in the hands of a strong and capable per
son ... in the hands of a man who almost always has this to say
about his teams, "Some days we'll win, some we'll tie, and some
it will rain."
PAST, PRESENT, and FUTURE
By AUGUST KADOW
In our rush to read the latest
rubbish —and there is a lot of it —
we often ignore the older important
books of our own time, as well as
the classics. It will be part of the
purpose of this column to bring all
types of readable modern literature,
past, present or future, to your at
tention.
One such book, is E. M. Forster's
PASSAGE TO INDIA. This, the
most famous novel by the brilliant
English writer, is actually more
timely today than when it was writ
ten. It was the result of an ex
tended visit to India, and is a study
of the relations (psychological and
romantic) between the rulers and
the ruled within the society of a
colonial country. It is brllilantly
and interestingly written, and sel
dom fails to hold the reader's full
attention.
Currently, and for several weeks
past, number one best-seller in
America is THE HUCKSTERS by
Frederic Wakeman. The author
seems to have had a dual purpose
in mind when writing this book.
One of these was to criticize com
mercial radio in this country, the
other was apparently to write n
lurid novel that would readily be
come ft perfect first-choice of the
reading public. He has at least
succeeded in the second of these
purposes. As for his social criticism,
it would have probably been more
successful if cast into the form of
a brief essay. The extending of this
analysis of the radio business
through a long and tiresome novel
seems hardly to have been worth
the effort. Radio certainly needs
criticism—but we are still waiting
for someone to do the job well.
I could not help being reminded,
after reading the HUCKSTERS, of
Christopher Islierwood's critics'
award novel of two vears ago,
I'RATER VIOLET. The attempt
here was the writing of a novel
demonstrating how completely the
motion picture industry stifled the
artistic attempts of its workers.
The basic subject matter of the two
novels is remarkably similar—the
main difference being that the
Isherwood novel is quite an excel
lent piece of work.
Of particular interest to North
| Carolinians should be the publica
tion of a new novel by Inglis
Fletcher, TOIL OF THE WAVES.
This is a story of the Albemarle
district of North Carolina in 1770.
It should l>e of great value both
to lovers of Inglis Fletcher and to
students of North Carolina history.
An entirely different type of novel
is WAKE OF THE RED WITCII
by Garland Ronrk. This is essen
tially an adventure novel of the
Dutch East Indies and the South
Pacific during the early part of this
century. It rises out of the class
of purely adventure stories, how
ever, by grace of the attention lav
ished by the author upon the de
velopment of his characters, by the
use of two strong-willed (to put it
mildly) characters as protagonists,
11 nd by a more than slight interest
in the philosophical significance of
opposites. The book however re
mains primarily entertaining, except
for a slightly confusing use of the
"flash back" technique, and is sug
gested for light and diverting read
ing.
THE GUILFORDIAN
SON SPOTS
By ,DABAGIAN
We welcome the grads. To most of
you it all looks the same, eh? Aside
from the gym, the buildings still
have that ancient rust, red color.
The barn still shows traces of Buck
Hines' artistry. If you look closely
at the entrance road you'll still
make out Menghetti's handiwork as
evidenced in the word "Queenland."
Probably the newest and most
a mazing thing to you is to see these
words in the local papers: "Quakers
undefeated and unscored upon!" Bet
that really makes you feel good—
bet you wish you were back in that
line, Seth! Remember when you
used to cut hair in that barber chair
made from boxes? And Nace, that
cuspidor you and Buck borrowed
from a Virginia hotel: come up to
524 and see if you can hit It now.
We provide the chewin'.
When "Rock" Maynard was beat
ing a line over the late walk (yes,
they are still loose and still splatter
you with mud) to Hobbs to see
Uuthie? Well, he's still toeing the
line only now he's got two "pea
bles": a boy and a girl. Remember
all those bright, straight A students?
Well, many of them went on to do
PG work. Where? At Straughan's
Book Store. At the rate Guilford is
going, we fully expect the names of
many local organizations to be
changed to Guilford College News.
Guilford College Book Store, cause
all these places are just loaded with
Guilford's products.
That worried, beat-up fellow is
Paul benitz, in case you were puzzl
ed. lie's married: has one and one
coming. Those prefabs we irrever
ently call "Passion Flats" are really
sweet inside, due mainly to the
efforts of their residents.
Well, we could go on musing,, but
we also have to satisfy the lust of
today's students who eat up this
slam-bain stuff. This new era of
Guilfordians is quite a crew. They're
the kind who say "are doing—are
going to do." We still have a few
who prefer to pirouette about amid
the perfidious laurels of warmed
over yesterdays, and are always
turning up in some heap preaching
their languid gospel of "used to be"
and "used to do," but they exist in a
very minute minority.
Well, welcome again, and don't
you wish you were still here?!
Now wouldn't those alleged writ
ers of sports be in a mellofaliess if
they didn't have the "dirt" columns
from which to pirate their stuff?
Back in the February S>th issue
this column started pounding the
gym. Ah! Beaucoup joy! The Vet's
Club, Monogram Club, and Sopho
more Class are now financing the
purchase of a beauty which we'll
have for the coming season. The
Mnogram Club intends to raise its
share by selling refreshments at the
"BB" games. Any organization will
ing to aid in the purchase will be
most welcomed.
Here are a couple that will hit
the crass parts of a few. You'd
think that while their men-folk are
away knocking themselves out on
the gridiron, these girls would be
with them in spirit since they can't
be with them in person, but it's no
dice. Guess they just must have
their good times regardless. Friday
night, while John Ilaworth was
away, Ina Rollins was masterfully
towing local flash Johnny Lamb
around while Saturday night Jim
Rouche did the honours for her with
a show and all that goes with it.
Of course, that Ina Kollins deal with
I/amh is a puzzle anyhow with many
wondering just what attraction that
garage holds first period almost
every morning.
Bill Feeney, jovial linesman, cer
tainly has Helen Davis under con
trol all through the dtiy . . . when
he's around. But when he was nurs
ing his wounds after the Wofford
game, sweet Helen wasn't knitting
one-purling two, but was touring the
city with Ralph ]>avis.
Why Frank Jarmillo, have you no
kind words for the "dirt" columns
especially after they kept mum when
Donna's parents yanked her home
when they learned about your rom
ance? No? Well, what's the straight
dope on you? You wear a wedding
band, tell some you are married, tell
others you are not.
You see. all you have to do is men
tion in the "dirt" columns that a
couple are spitting at each other
and they get together again !
Anyhow, Tommy Andrews and Jo
Ann Gorenflo have rekindled the
flame and are really rolling ... If
you know what we mean. Beat the
drums loudly cause Hank Pollack
and lt,T Thompson have also rejoin
ed the coo J woo society. Don't you
REVIEWS
PREVIEWS
By BENNY BROWN
It is rare that good acting and a
good story are combined in a musi
cal, but recently two films have been
released which prove to have every
thing. The first one is, "The Jolson
Story." Playing the title role in
this excellent backstage biography
is Larry Parks with Evelyn Keyes
playing opposite him. Both of them
are of previous less important parte.
The other film is "I've Always
Loved You" which is the best of its
type since "A Song to Remember."
Rubinstein does all the off-stage
playing, and while the story is not
as good as Chopin's biography, the
music is worth hearing. Philip Dorn
plays the maiu lead with newcomer,
Catherine his protege.
Following "0.5.5." comes another
now-it-can-be-told story. "Cloak and
Dagger," starring Gary Cooper and
Lilli Palmer who makes lier Ameri
can debut as Cooper's underground
accomplish is good movie fare. The
picture deals with O.S.S. activities
in wartime Italy and Switzerland.
For adventure, Paramount has
filmed the well read novel, "Two
Years Before the Mast." Cast in
this exciting ocean voyage are Alan
Lad, Brian Donlevy, William Ben
dix and Esther Fernandez.
After her triumphant, Oscar
winning come-back last year, Joan
Crawford has made two films and
is working on a third. She plays a
wealthy, love-starved dipsomaniac
in "Humoresque," and in "Pos
sessed" she is a neurotic murderess.
She is currently working on "Por
trait in Black" which is a mystery
story proving to her, undoubtedly,
that crime does pay. Recently she
has signed a contract to star weekly
in radio dramas.
•
"Just the Other Day" was to be
gin with a radio commercial for a
wine advertising program, but
Vaughn Monroe has done a neat job
in making a popular recording of it.
In addition to the baritone's voice
can be heard Betty Norton and the
Moon Maids. Monroe's is the first
recording of the song.
"To Each His Own" is the na
tion's number one hit tune, and it
is not from the picture of the same
name. It has been recorded by
Paula Kelly and the Moderuaires,
one of the best vocal groups on
wax. Freddy Martin and his or
chestra and The Ink Spots have
also made recordings of this hit.
"Rumors Are Flying" is by the
writers of "Oh! What Is Seemed
To Be" and it may be just as suc
cessful. Frankie Carle who had a
popular disc of the older tune, has
also waxed this one, and his daugh
ter, Marjorie Hughes, takes the
vocal honors.
Jo Stafford has recorded "The
Things We Did Last Summer with
"You Keep Coming Back Like a
Song" on the reverse side. Peggy
Lee's most recent recordings are
"Aren't You Kind of Glad We Did"
and "It's All Over Now."
Some of the best albums out at
the present are: "Up Swing" with
recordings by Tommy Dorsey,
Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, and
Artie Shaw; "Sextet Session" by
Benny Goodman; and "Boogie
Woogiee" by Freddie Slack.
John Kirby has recorded an al
bum of hot jazz on three 10-inch
records. Kirby's distinctive style of
modern jazz with the Pump Itooin
Group is familiar to most collectors.
He favors the smooth type of jump
as distinguished from the frantic,
exhibitionist jazz. The album con
tains a varied collection: "Move
Over," "Campus," "'Desert Sands,"
and "My Old Flame." Shirley
Moore is featured in tliis'album.
think Frisco Bray makes a lovely
eupid ?
She's married, Scholkopf. Or
doesn't that matter to you?
Probably as much to your amaze
ment as ours, but there is a rule
here that girls cannot dance when
they go the places like The Planta
tion. Ha! Do you think the auto
mobile is here to stay?
What a girl Red Anne Watson
must be! Christiansen, Arzonico,
Williams, Jones, Ah rams, Allen,
Shout, and now, Aivin "One Punch"
Stroud. Whew ! Or is it woooo?
Don't know if his roommate Clark
Wilson had anything to do with it
(Clark just grins and drags 011 that
cigar), but Horace Haworth, also
famous for his .squiring of debs, is
now hustling Clark's old gal BG Ed
wards around. No, not old in age!!
Got a note here to check Capplel
lo and Yvonne Dammann but an ex-
Duke man handled McCraeken is
checking it . . . only in a diff way.

FACE and FACTS
by

Poor Walt Moon. He's never look
ed at Jeanne Kelly, and Wes Atwood
comes at her with "If you so much
us look at Walt Moon again, we're
through."
FACE: Bill Kerr
His spirit sure came to the top
when he drove most of the way to
Wofford in his car taking Janice
lUckok along for the house party at
Mersey's in Greenville. Knroute,
Bill's car claimed it would cross the
line into Lower Slafoovia, so Hill
and Janice had to ride a trailer
truck into Wofford. But they were
there!
FACE: Calvin Hinsiiaw
Lays claim that he's the only boy on
campus who has never been kissed:
got himself chased all over Founders
by Anne Watson, Jeanne Kelly, Dot
Sheffield in an effort to break the
ice. Calvin's objection: "Well, if
they didn't have that ole nasty lip
stick on, I wouldn't mind it." But
oh, it tastes soooo good, Cal.
FACE: Jimmy "Seabiscult" Coble
"Seabiscuit" is really putty-putty
ing with Dot Sheffield and Is about
to take out a union card with the
"TJ.A.B." club.

Doris?
FACE: Clinton TaUey
Man, we sure hope you're loaded
cause it must take a load to satisfy
that appitite of Betty Marshall. She

the chow line such a beating.
FACE: Mary Elizabeth Barney
The blonde tiger of Mary Hobbs is
strutting with pride cause she says
she has Jimmy Newton eating out
of her paws.
FACE: Bob Benbow
The reason for that smiling count
enance is cause he's getting his
share from Phyllis Stevens. And it's
"oh, sooo good."
FACE: Clark Wilson
Our nomination for the man about
town. Right now he's showing Char
lotte Edwards, the gal who couldn't
make Tommy Andrews forget, about
town.
FACE: Bynum Smith
Secret Agent follow that man! It
takes a secret agent to keep track of
that boy's operations with Jane
Rhodes.
FACE: The Zebra Club
There exists a two man club on
campus consisting of Dick Hoyle
and Bob Collins who strike off their
lists girls who will, not speak to
tliem. But the way they make fools
of themselves 011 the dance floor, it's
11 wonder anyone-male or female

FACE Jack Dabagian
He tells Grace every weekend that
he's going to Winston to visit the
Ilines family, but ask him how many
floors there are to the Nurses' Home

We know that Beth is not a sea
sonal girl 'cause it all began between
her and Jimmy Ellis back during
baseball and it's still going strong.
FACE: Ro>xie Roberson
She sure makes the rounds with
a different date every night, but ole
Bunk Leonard always winds up
taking her home. Just how are you

ask Dr. Vickie, Mrs. Ginn, Brooks
Hansard. When Herr Doktor asked
Green for his assignment. Ken grit
ted his teeth, told him he didn't
know what he wns talking about
and left the class like Thunder him
self. And "there's no body in Ilolrtis
big enough" to put him out of there
either. We certainly wish he had
stayed out for football.
FACE: Louise Richardson
Toddling off in Dick Spencer's
Ford: Operator give me CShapel Hill
quick!
BEST JOKE: "Fire" Prevention
Week
Everyone should get to "Snap"

roneous professors. Work with un
usual cheerfulness. Be nice to higher
officials —Dea ns—presiden ts— Even
then you may be "•bounced" out of
class. However, prevent it if you
can. If you can't, don't slam the
door!!
FACE: Mary Francis Chilton
It happened !! Jerry Duecker stay
