NOVEMBER 2, 1956
QUAKERS IN GOOD SHOWING
Last week the Quakers bowed to
Newberry in a hard fought battle.
The 28-6 score does not begin to
tell the whole story. The boys put
up a terriffic battle and, in my
opinion, covered themselves with
mud, sweat, and glory. This was
a game that was exceptionally well
played and it is to the great credit
of all who participated. The In
dians were heavy favorites, but our
spirited team was able, by strong
determination, to outplay their op
ponents for the entire first half. It
was no disgrace to lose this game.
It was well played, and that's about
all that could be expected. If this
splendid spirit is exhibited the rest
of the season, I feel that the
Quakers will have at least one more
victory in store for themselves.
SPIRIT AT ITS BEST
Homecoming showed just how
spirited Guilford can be. I ask you,
"Why can't this be the way at all
times?" Spirit is something that you
shouldn't have to work at. It is
something that is in you—that
makes one loyal to a cause. This
self-same spirit was in great evi
dence last week.
I would like to compliment the
student body for their fine job in
decorating their dorms and for
preparing such excellent floats.
Congratulations to Archdale for the
best dorm decoration on the boys'
side and to Founders, on the girls'
side. Hats off to New North for
their prize-winning float. The ball
is now rolling; keep up the good
spirit!
TOUGH LUCK, SHELTON
Time and again during this foot
hall season Jim Shelton has been
on the verge of breaking loose for
a terriffic game. However, some
injury has always popped up to
hold him back. The past two weeks
Jim has been our leading ground
gainer during the first half of play.
Both times injuries forced him to
the sidelines, Here's hoping that
Jim's last three games in a Quaker
uniform will be big ones for him
and the entire team.
BOYLES, RICH, DOUGHTERY,
CHESSON, EXCELL
These four boys are deserving of
much praise for their play against
Newberry. In looking over the
figures on the game, it was very
apparent that these four were in on
the majority of tackles made. Keep
up the good work! With the hard
play you exhibited last week the
breaks are bound to come your
way.
BASKETBALL UNDERWAY
With this issue of the GUIL
FORDIAN, basketball practice will
have been underway for three
weeks. Coach Bob Shoaf, in his
first year as the basketball mentor,
has been working the boys hard in
an effort to round them into top
notch shape. The team figures to be
built around returning letterman
Don Hemrick, Bob Atlas, Jim Bur
gess, Doug Wood, and Tommy Dil
lon. Also look for Bob Young to be
the most improved ball player on
the floor. He will be heavily
counted on. Junior transferees Bill
Roddy and Bob Henderson, both

from E.M.1., are expected to give
the team added depth.
TOMORROW NIGHT
APPALACHIAN
A trip to Boone is on tap for the
Quakers. They will leave tomorrow
morning to take on the tough
Mountaineers in a night game. It
will be cold when the sun goes
down in the mountains, and the
city of Boone is noted for this
chilly atmosphere. At any rate, the
game figures to be an interesting
one with plenty of action. Last year
the Apps ran over Guilford; the
team will be trying to settle the
score.
ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
This week the award goes to
Larry Grissett for his mighty de
fensive play against Newberry.
Larry has not had much chance to
play this year but you can bet he
will see plenty of service from here
on. Although he did not enter the
game until the second half, I feel as
though he is most deserving of the
award. Here is an example of a
man taking advantage of an oppor
tunity. Nice going, Larry!
INTRAMURALS
Something has happened to the
Day Hops! Whether it keeps hap
pening remains to be seen, but all
of a sudden, in just one week, they
won two ball games and tied one.
The jolly commuters have always
been known to have a hard time
mustering up enough boys for a
team when game time rolled
around. Win or lose . . . and mostly
lose . . . they always seem to enjoy
just playing the game and getting
a big kick out of it all. They still
do, but suddenly they started play
ing heads-up ball. Their offensive
plays started clicking and their
defense began to pick up.
It all started the afternoon they
tied Center 39 to 39. They had to
come from behind to do it. Yet, in
their next game they beat Old
North-South in a very convincing
manner 38 to 32 and then they
thumped Archdale 26-20.
What happened? There are sev
eral reasons. For one thing, more
Day Hops got interested and came
to the games. Defensively, they
seemed to be rushing more and
covering their men. Tom Trivette's
passes started clicking and the
blonde and the brunette long
faithful Day Hop supporters
started cheering extra loudly on the
sidelines. But the main reason the
Day Hops were doing so well wore
bright orange shorts.
His name is Bill Campbell and in
just one week the wiley end scored
fifty-two points. Though at times it
looked as if he were wheezing for
breath, he seemed to be running
everywhere, jumping and catching
passes. Jack-rabbit fast, he had a
knack of getting around the fellow
guarding him and of snaring a ball
anywhere near him. His 52 points
gave him a total of 79 which put
him second in the scoring race.
Jordan Washburn, the glue-fin
gered end from New North, moved
into the lead with 86 points. Old
North South only played one game

said it yourself. You said I was
stupid," Leonardo wailed.
"Shut up. Get up. Get out of bed;
off your fat back. You got to DO
something. You can't stay in col
lege doing nothing. Why don't you
date no girls? Ain't you ever going
to date no girls?"
"I ain't never dated a girl, Wil
helm. I don't know nothing about
girls. Please don't talk to me about
them. I can't stand to talk about
that sort of thing."
Wilhelm jumped from his seat
and slammed the book violently
against the desk. "I never seen any
body like you before! Everytime
anybody comes in the room, you
either hide in the closet or curl up
in bed and play like you're asleep.
Little wonder you are always so
worried and depressed. You've got
to get out and do things, man."
"I don't want to be sad, Wilhelm.
I want to be like you. You're smart
and you have good times. But how
can I be happy? I failed all my
tests miserably. I can't pass any of
my courses. That's what comes
from graduating from a small high
school. My high school was defi
nitely very, very small. Wilhelm,
do you think I should tell anybody
that I can't read?"
Wilhelm stared at Leonardo. His
face turned pale. ... he was
shocked at what Leonardo had just
said. At last Wilhelm gasped, "Did
you say that you can't read? Eight
weeks of school gone, and they
haven't found out that you can't
even read! How did you pass your
entrance examinations? How about
that postcard you got in the mail
this morning? How did you read
that? How?"
"It was all a mistake, Wilhelm. I
saw a little girl down at the corner
this morning. She was in the third
grade, and she read the postcard
to me. I told her to promise not to
tell anybody about it. I lied when
I said that I read it. You won't tell
on me will you?"
"No, man. Why should I tell?"
"Thanks, Wilhelm, you are my
best friend;" he made a nervous
little sigh. "Wilhelm, I've made up
my mind, I'm going to graduate,
even I have to go to summer
school."
"It doesn't matter whether you
can read, Leonardo. You can over
come these obstacles. That's what
college is for—to help the individ
ual."
"That's good, Wilhelm."
"Leonardo, do you really want to
know how to be happy?"
"Oh, more than anything else."
"All right. If you'll get out of
bed, I'll tell how you, Leonardo

Smith, can find everlasting happi

"How, how?" shouted Leonardo
as he jumped to the floor.
"I know a girl who rooms over at
Phounder's Hall. She's beautiful,
enchanting, intelligent, understand
ing; everything a college man
could ask for. I can get you a date
with her."
"No, no. Please don't, Wilhelm.
I can't stand girls. What if she finds
out that I can't read?"
"She won't find out. I'll never tell
her. You must date her, Leonardo,
tonight."
"She'll laugh at me."
"No she won't. Don't you want
to be happy like other people? I
swear she won't laugh at you."
"But how should I act?" asked
Leonardo.
"Simply be relaxed. Remember,
you are just as good as anybody
else, Leonardo. Remember that,
man."
Leonardo looked down at the
floor and thought. Finally, he mut
tered, "Well, all right. I'll date
her this one time if she's real nice
to me."
"Great, Leonardo. You're a great
guy. You'll never regret this day.
I'll go see her right now and get
you a date for tonight."
"Why are you doing all this for
me, Wilhelm?"
"First because you are my room
mate and because I don't like for
you always to be depressed. And
second, because of my underlying,
intense love for the field of social
psychology. You understand?"
"Oh, I'm so afraid, Wilhelm."
"Don't even think about it. I'll
be back in a little while."
That night there was a full moon
above as Leonardo and his girl
friend walked across the campus
together. He looked at her and
said, "Gosh, you're beautiful."
"Thank you," she solemnly re
plied.
Everything was quiet for a few
moments, then Leonardo, being in
a deep, serious mood, said, "I've
made the highest grade on every
test I've taken since I've been
here."

"Oh, what course did you do that
in?"
"All of them," said Leonardo.
"The dean congratulated ine. He
sent me a postcard saying that I
was an honor student. I got it this
very morning. He wants me to
come to his office and advise him
in matters concerning the welfare
of the school . . . He ..."
Suddenly the girl burst out
laughing, and she laughed hyster
ically for a long time. Leonardo
stood trembling before her. "What
are you laughing at me for?" he
asked in a high childish voice.
"Wilhelm said that you couldn't
even read." She laughed and
laughed.
His eyes gleamed with wildness
and his skin was colorless. "Wil
helm shouldn't ought to have told
you that!" he screamed. "He prom
ised he wouldn't tell. Now I must
kill. No one shall know my secret.
I've got to graduate. I shall kill!"
She tried to run away from him,
but his fat, powerful hands wrap
ped around her throat. Soon she
stopped laughing.
He ran through the trees, and
the yellow moonlight flashed across
his horrible face, and he said, "I
must find Wilhelm and that little
girl that read the postcard this
morning. Wilhelm never should
have told. He did a bad, bad
thing."

Your Rumormate
Was that Hill we saw peddling
around the football field during last
Saturday's game? He seemed to be
very engrossed in Dale's conversa
tion.
Did New North's prize winning
Hoat observe the six objective
standards for good art? Harmony,
balance, rhythm, emphasis, propor
tion and design.
Hats off to Jake Jacobson for a
job well done behind the scenes at
all the Quaker football games. Keep
up the good work!
Michigan is certainly a long way
off as has recently been observed.
What is this change in A.R.T.
