Sideline Slants
By HERB SCHOELLKOPF
Believe me, this little job of
cheerleading isn't us simple as it is
made out to be. I'm going to quit
and go out for football, it must be
easier. In the past two weeks I've
not only lost my vocal chords but
also 11 pounds, one heel, 20 cents
in small change, and all pretense
toward any dignity I may have had.
The only things I gained were three
blisters and a huge cleaning bill.
Balancing the sheet, however, is
the great amount of satisfaction,
tinted with a little pride, at finally
witnessing the rise of some active
"school spirit" at dear ol' Guilford.
The primeval oak and pine that
hold down our hallowed green were
no doubt astounded at the display
of student enthusiasm at the Fri
day night pep rally. And the trans
fer of the morale to the Bowman
Gray Stadium on Saturday night
proved to .the unbelievers that the
rally spirit was not just a one-night
stand.
The mass response to the cheer
leaders' sharp prodding not only
moved the students to feverish ac
tivity but even reached some of the
reserved faculty emotions. One new,
and already popular, member was
heard to say, "I sure wish I were
10 years younger right now."
We know that the student back
ing is appreciated, for many mem
bers of the team have so expressed
themselves to the cheerleaders. On
behalf of the latter group, let me
congratulate the team for their fine
showing Saturday night, and the
student body for their solid support.
Appreciation goes to the Reynolds
High Band, our own proud musical
aggrcg&tion, Coach Teague for his
presence and speech at the pep ral
ly, and to the few freshman fellows
who helped get the firewood.
It has been an encouraging and
stimulative beginning to a success
ful year.

Namely, the "Committee for the
Promotion of School Spirit"; chair
man, Carlyle McKaugan; secretary,
Betty Nunn; members, anybody else
interested. Right now that includes
about 15 students plus I)r. Purdom
and Mr. Kent. All told, they are
the main ones behind the revolution.
You too can be one. Join. Par

Introducing
The Pigskin Luggers
Bill Powell—Fullback—lßolbs. 5' 10"
Bill played his football at Golds
boro High School. He was captain
and made honorable mention All
State halfback. This is Bill's third
year on the varsity, the first being

three and a half years with Bill
spending most of his time in the
Pacific on the carrier "Intrepid."

but hopes to go into professional
scouting after graduation. He was
the assistant scout master of the
local Troop 28 last year. Among
his other accomplishments Bill won

gun.

Jim is a junior and played for
Mount Holly High School before he
became a Quaker. This is his third
year of varsity football. Jim is a
physical education major and says
his main interest is studying tine
arts. Jim acquired the nickname of
"lover" around the campus and it
seems the "fine arts" study is con
fined to women. If he can acquire HO
hours next year, Jim wants to fulltill
his ambition to be a coach.
Hob Gordoi—Halfback-185 lbs. 6' 1"
Bob came to Guilford in ItHG and
is playing his second and final year

he has not made any definite plans.

Coach Newton had Maultsby play
ing about every position in the back
field last year but has now assigned
him to tailback. A ten second man,
Wally displayed his ability as a
scat back last year wih a 95 yard
punt return against Lenoir Rhyne
and one for 70 yards against Ran
dolph Macon. Maultsby adds more
points to his total by kicking extra
points. Outside of being a nightly
visitor to Hobbs Hall, Wally's ambi
tion is to a coach.

grunt. Gil continues. "I've been try
ing to beat it in their heads that
this place is as much theirs as ours.
There's a gang of them in the choir.
That looks good, but I've got to con
vince them that all the school activi
ties are theirs, and that their voice
in the affairs is as loud as ours."
I'm the silent type, I still don't
sny nothing. She keps right on.
"There's a play due to be cast soon,
nnd I want to see some of the frosh in
some of the parts. There's clubs
sticking out their index finger all
over campus, wiggling, "Come Here,"
but they aren't attending. Boss, what
am I going to do about them?"
I puts an exclamation mark on
the sentence I just finished. It looks
nice there, nice and important. Then
I answers' her. "Leave 'em be, gal.
leave 'em be. Let 'em find out what
they're missing and learn the hard
way. Remember, honey, as long as
tbey think we own the campus, we
do."
I turn around then just in time to
see a book coming my way and duck.
After it passes, I realizes that I
didn't need to duck. Outside of
having no manners, Qilda can't pitch
worth a cuss. I starts laughing.
"You no-good so-and-so," she
screams. "You mean to sit there on
your brain and tell me you don't
care anything about them, that
you're perfectly willing to let them
wander around lonely, unsure of
themselves, ignorant of what's to be
had?"
That's something else I should
have added. Outside of not having
no manner, and not pitching worth
a cuss, Gilda' got too much of the
maternal instinct.
I gets up, puts my hands in my

pockets and walks toward her. I try
to make my voice firm, but looking
at her, I know it's going to be an
effort. Sane and calm, Gil's beau,
tiful, but it can't compare to her
when she gets riled up. Her eyes
are like two flaming matches, newly
lit.
"Now you listen to me," I says. "I
send you out scouting for dirt for
my column, and when you return
you come back with dripping eyes
and the motherly look beaming out
all over you. Forget about the fresh
men, they can take care of them
selves. Where's that dirt?"
The matches in her eyes are burn
ed down to a glow by now. She's
crushed and I almost feel ashamed.
"Sorry, boss, I'll go right out and
dig you up some."
"Oh, yeah! Well remind me when
you get it deep enough to push you
in. I got five minutes to meet the
editor's deadline. How much rot do
you think you could dig by then?
I'll tell you. None!"
I have her where I want her now.
She's plumb wiltered. "Boss, I'm
sorry," she says.
"Forget it," I answer. "Come on,
let's bite into a coke." We start out
the door together, but at the head
of the steps I stop her. "Wait here,"
I says, "Until I get to the bottom.
I wanta watch you walk down."
"What on earth for," she asks
after me. I answer, "Every day,
standing in line for meals over there
at Founder's, I see girls come down
the steps. Some bounce like balls,
some sneak like mice, and SQme
come knockkneed and some walk like
cowhands. They're dressed up plumb
pretty, but walk like the dickens."
I turn around and look up. "0.K.,
start walking," I says.

to see. My heart climbs up in my
throat, and I swallows it as fast as
I can.
She's standing on the last step,
looking at me. "Well?" she says.
I grabs her by the hand. "Baby,"
I says, "let's go get a milkshake."

It did not take a long here as it
does in larger schools, where the
process of entering students for
