Just A Word ...
from the President
A special welcome to the mem
bers of the Class of 1962!
This statement to you is very
special because when you graduate
the first week in June 1962, the
College will celebrate a century
and a quarter of continuous educa
tional service. Already detailed
plans are being made for this sig
nificant event. This should be an
incentive to each one of you to re
ceive your degree from Guilford on
this historic occasion.
In addition to the greeting print
ed in "The First 9 Days," I am
happy to emphasize the educa
tional program and the opportuni
ties for leadership which Guilford
offers you.
Much thought and planning
have been put into building the
curriculum which will train you for
your chosen vocation and prepare
you to live significantly. This year
the faculty will endeavor to inte
grate the courses, the assemblies,
the special lectures and the reading
list so that they will be more mean
ingful to you.
During your college years, it
is hoped that you will develop
your capacities for real leader
ship which are evidenced by the
thorough understanding of the
highest ideals of community and
the creative promotion of their
realization.
To achieve a successful college
career it will be essential for you
to give of your very best in all your
activities. You can be assured of
the friendly and helpful co-opera
tion of all the faculty and staff.
Through this mutual interplay you
will have a highly rewarding col
lege experience.
—Clyde Milner
from the Women's Dean
Let me 'extend a warm and
hearty welcme to the class of 1962.
For many months the faculty and
students have been planning for
your coming and looking forward
to meeting you. Now we are de
lighted to have you here and eager
to help you as you begin one of
the great adventures of your lives.
College is first an adventure in
learning—that you may grow in
understanding of both yourself and
the world in which you live. Plan
to stay the entire four years, be
cause a continuous, intregrated,
complete experience will be of
most value to you. Secondly, you
will find on this campus rich op
prtunities for adventures in friend
ship. Try to make as many friends
as possible and to know them
well—your fellow students in other
classes as well as in your own,
members of the faculty, people
from other countries. Finally, col
lege is an adventure in service.
Those whose goal is to receive as
much as possible will take away
very little. Look around for ways
in which you can be helpful to
others and loyal to your college,
and you will find true happiness
here.
And now best wishes to each and
everyone of you for the adventure
of college. May it more than fulfill
your dreams.

from the Mens Dean
I wish to extend a hearty and
personal welcome to all members
of the Class of '62. Your presence
here symbolizes your faith in edu
cation and testifies to your
being an individual of intellectual
integrity and high ideals.
There was never a time when
it was so important, both to the
individual and to society, for every
student to make the most of his
potentialities. Future progress may
well depend not so much on
our productive and technological
genius as upon our moral aware
ness. It is here, says Milburn P.
Akers, executive editor of the
Chicago Sun-Tmes, that the small
college makes its most distinc
tive contribution. "It propagates a
sense of responsibility for the use
of what men know" and this "gen
erates a moral core in American
culture."
The happiest way to get an
education is to love Guilford Col
lege. Guilford is a spirit which
exists solely to create intelligent,
good people. It is not always
gentle, and those who are too weak
to accept its challenge do not learn.
But to the people who are able, the
college gives an understanding
which can be found nowhere else.
It teaches them to read, opening
the way to life-long growth. It
makes them look into themselves
and listen to others, and in the
looking and listening they can be
gin to understand a little of life. I
trust you will love Guilford, accept
its guidance and give it your be
lief in its goals and follow with
mature actions as a testimony to
its continued success.

Guilford Offers Many Sports
Girls May Choose
Various Activities
As WAA Members
Women's sports play a large part
in the college athletic program. By
automatically being a member of
the Women's Athletic Association,
all girls can take part. During the
winter, sports are limited to inside
games such as volleyball, shuffle
board, and ping pong. But in the
spring there is a sport to interest
everyone. Shifting to outside rec
reations, tennis, golf, horseback
riding, swimming and archery are
offered in gym classes when there
is enough interest. Modern dancing
and calisthenics classes can also be
arranged.

THE GUILFORDIAN
Guilford . . . Symbol Of Tradition
For years Guilford College has been a symbol of tradition and modern education. Here you find re
minders of the early boarding school, the old oak trees which witnessed underground railroad followed by
the horrors of the War Between the States, reminders of the Friends Meeting House which served as a hos
pital for both forces in the Revolutionary War, and the 500 year old oak tree under which both the English
and American soldiers were buried side by side.
Blending in with these traditional memories are all the essentials for modern learning and education.
The college library is noted as having the most complete section on "Quakerism" in the South. A biology
department with a great deal of modern equipment is available. A large majority of the professors hold
their doctors degree. Guilford graduates have always been well accepted in graduate schools because of
the college's scholastic standing.
Tradition is the backbone of Guilford. It has always stood as a supporter of intellectual pursuits,
as a believer in individual concerns, and as a helping hand to those who are struggling for a de-

'gree. Actually it isn't too hard to
become a Guilford student; but
neither is it too hard to flunk out.
Guilford is not an easy school, but
it is a fair school. "Whatsoever a
man soweth, that shall he also
reap."
Admire Guilford and what it
stands for, and work hard to help
keep its name untarnished in the
eyes of outsiders.
If you do not admire and in fact
learn to love this college of your
choice, seek within yourself to see
what is wrong. Did you come here
for financial reasons? There are
other fairly inexpensive colleges in
the South. Did you come here be
cause you appreciated the beauty
of the rolling landscape? There are
other colleges with beautiful cam
puses. Did you come here because
Guilford is a Quaker college?
There are other colleges influenced
by the Society of Friends. Where
can a better school be found?
Whining and fault finding never
get anywhere. Before you be
come irritated with something that
doesn't suit you, stop and think.
Remember that the fault finder's
best friend is probably using the
old adage, "The Fault is in the
finder."

Quakers Will Seek
Revenge Saturday
With two weeks practice behind
them, the 36 man strong football
squad is looking in top shape. The
main factor governing the coming
Elon game should be the spirit the
boys have as they go on the field.
Usually the teams are fairly evenly
matched and it looks as if this will
be no exception. The team that
wants most to win, can.
So far as experience goes, the
Quakers are in a lot better shape
than they were last year, especially
in the back field. Returning from
last year at the quarterback posi
tion are Brody Baker and Bill
Huber who have been flighting for
firststring, plus Jackie Williams
who gained a great deal of experi
ence last year. A string of top full
backs will be vying for the starting
line-up with Lester Parker and
Bob Smth coming back for their
third year and Jack Holly and Sid
Teachy, their second. Halfbacks
will be led by the hard hitting
Johnny Merony and Jim Simpson.
The first-string line is strong, but
as a whole lacks depth. In general
the team looks more experienced
than last year's and ready to seek
revenge for its defeat last year.
