According to the Calendar of
Events in the March 18 issue of
The Guilfordian the Junior-
Senior Banquet is scheduled
for April 8. This date is incor

on April 23.
During the spring holidays the
Guilford College A Cappella
Choir, under the direction of Mr.
Carl C. Baumbach, took its annual
tour. The 48 students, their direc
tor and his wife traveled through
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
and a small portion of Alabama,
as well as North Carolina. They
gave nine concerts during the nine
days of their tour.
The choir left Guilford College
Saturday morning, March 19,
bound for Murfreesboro, N. C.,
where they sang at Chowan Col
lege. The following morning they
made an early departure for
Goldsboro and performed at the
Friends meeting there. Then the
choir proceeded to Manning, S. C.,
where they were sponsored by the
combined churches of that town.
Monday morning found the
group moving further south to
"sunny" Florida. After a long 400-
mile ride, they reached Daytona
Beach. The next morning found
most of the choir members sun
ning themselves on the famous
beach. That afternoon they de
parted for Frostproof and a con
cert at the Methodist Church.
Wednesday was spent sightsee
ing. After a short stop at an or
ange grove, they visited Spook
Hill, Bok Singing Tower, and at
tended a water-skiing show at
Cypress Gardens. Then on they
went to Clearwater where a day
on the beach was anticipated. The
plans were changed by rainy
weather, however, so Thursday
most of the company attended a
lecture at the Sea-Orama and
shopped for souvenirs. That night
the choir sang at the Congrega
tional Church in St Petersburg.
Another long ride on Friday
brought the group to Panama City,
where their concert was sponsored
by the Lions Club. On Saturday
the choir headed north again and
journeyed to Warm Springs, Ga.,
to sing that afternoon for a wheel
chair audience at the polio foun
dation established by Franklin D.
Roosevelt. Saturday night they
sang at the Methodist Church in
Barnsville, Ga.
Sunday the choir returned to
North Carolina to sing that even
ing in the First Presbyterian
Church of Monroe. They reached
Guilford late that night.
The home concert was present
ed at the New Garden Friends
Meeting on Friday evening, April
Dr. Crownfield
Attends Meetings
Dr. Crownfield is just back from
attending two very important
meetings. The first meeting he at
tended was in connection with the
Southeastern Section of the So
ciety for Biblical Literature and
Exegesis. Being held jointly with
this meeting was that of the So
ciety of Biblical Instructors. Both
of these meetings were held on the
campus of Atlanta University, At
lanta, Georgia.
Dr. Crownfield's purpose in at
tending was to present a paper on
the study of the New Testament.
It is also very appropriate that we
should mention that he is the past
president of the Southeastern
Section of the Society for Biblical
Literature and Exegesis. Both of
the groups mentioned above are
top scholarly organizations.
On leaving Atlanta, Dr. Crown
field continued on to San Antonio,
Texas. Here he was a consultant
at the Teacher Training Institute
which was held April 1-2. This
meeting was held jointly by the
San Antonio public schools and
the National Conference of Chris
tians and Jews.
We should realize that trips of
this calibre made at various times
by members of our faculty go far
in the furtherance of our school.
