Archdale Students and Dates To
Have Picnic and Dance March 8
When? March S. W.here? The
pasture and Archdale Hall.
What? The men of Archdale are
sponsoring a picnic and dance for
themselves and their dates.
Why? Chairman Joe Trolllnger
and the rest of the Archdale stu
dents announce tlnat it is the first
move on their nart to liven the
school spirit on tUe campus. Trol
linger said there are many forms of
entertainment to be had in and
about the college area if students
are willing to get together and
promote some type of recreation.
However, the picnic, which will
include a softball game, "Weener"
roast, and girls' softball match,
will be restricted, along with the
dance in the evening in the da.vroom
at Archdale, to those students in
Archdale who signed up with Trol
linger.
It is hoped by the men of Arch
dale that this move on their pari
will stir the presently quiet minds
of others into sponsoring more
social activities at Guilford.
