Welcome
Freshmen
NUMBER t
total Enrollment
Goes Toward Normal
Formal opening of the 113t.h year
t Guilford College began Septem
ber 22, 194!>, wj th the attendance at
classes of 561 students.
Although an increase in enroll
ment of freshmen was noted, the
all-over enrollment was an expect
ed decline compared to that of last
year. This was due to the huge
graduating class this spring.
The number of freshmen enrolled
this semester Is 157, compared with
153 enrolled last year at this time.
The all-over enrollment was fixed at
501, coinjtared to the all-time high of
WW students for the first semester
last. year.
Freshmen week activities con
cluded Saturday night at the annual
reception, after Wednesday and
Thursday night programs consisting
of presentations from members of
the Student Affairs Board of their
organizations, and a talent program
Thursday night, in which mucli
genius was displaced at the upper
classmen's disposal.
The college is deemed better pre
pared to handle the large enrollment
due to its strengthened faculty and
added science building addition.
Ground Broken For
Friends Parsonage
In the year of 17D1, a small group
of people knelt In prayer before a
meeting house, newly finished, to
offer their thanks to a God, who had
given them, always, the In-st. Then
they entered to worship. And so
began the Quakers New Garden
Yearly Meeting.
Last Sunday, one hundred and
ninety-eight, years later, the grand
children and great-grandchildren of
those same early settlers, gathered
to celebrate the one-hundred and
ninty-eightii birthday of the Friends
Yearly Meeting.
The celebration began with the
usual 11 :00 church service, after
which there was a picnic. There
was a special service after the din
ner, in which was read the story of
tiie first New Harden Meeting and
the people behind it.
After the afternoon service there
was a ground-breaking service on
the site of the proposed parsonage.
The site is behind Memorial Hall
on the location of the Red School
House.
Improvements Noted
Returning upperclassmen at Guil
ford this year are noticing many
improvements in the college plant,
and on the campus.
Renovations have produced four
new rooms in Arehdale, and tilso
two new bathrooms. King Hall ad
dition is practically finished. The
library is receiving a new addition.
On the campus is noted a tre
mendous improvement as to the
lawn. The set of lamps donated by
the class of '4! l, and the new walk
to the corner provide convenience,
comfort, and lieaut.v to the campus
as a whole. The new curb erected
011 the circle in front of Arehdale
has, it seems, eliminated the lingo
pool of water usually standing in
that area.
"Housemother" Goes
To Archdale Hall
Arrhdale Hall, as of last.
Thursday morning, is blest
with a "House Mother." She is
none other than Chief Charlie
llemlrirks. Tle Hall of Cham
pions has already signed a
pledge not to throw water inl>
the suite. Hendricks has signed
a eoutraet to lie full time man
ager of the football, basketball,
volleyball, and baseball teams.
