Literary Magazine to Be Published Soon After a comparative drought of original literary works of Guilford students over the past ten years, a literary magazine will be pub lished, in mimeograph form during the first week in May. Under the supervision of Dr. Chauncey Ives and the editorship of Bill Bloom, the creative writing class is presently reviewing all submitted works. All persons in terested are urged to submit their poems, plays, essays, short stories or any forms of original literature to either Bill Bloom or Dr. Ives. There is no limit as to length, quantity or subject, but the works should be indicative of the high quality creativity of Guilford Col lege students. It is requested that all articles be submitted in type written form, double-spaced, by April 25, 1958. The editor hopes that this will be a springboard to a regular quarterly issue of the original works of the students. He feels, as many others do, that the need for this type of publication is great. The staff not being complete yet, all applications for positions will be gratefully considered.

Selection of the marshals is based primarily on scholastic achievement, but other qualities, such as leadership, are taken into consideration. The marshals serve for two years—as sophomores and again as juniors. Serving as ushers for graduation exercises is the pri mary duty of the sophomore mar shals. For the junior marshals, actual participation in the graduation exercises is their chief purpose. Also, they usher at such activities as plays and Founders Day cele bration.
