America's main vacation months,
exactly the season when the parks
need large staffs.

cil will meet to select a chairman

Dance, Elections
Week Before Vacation
By GARY BLANCHARD
Oratory, elections, hair-setting and Mambo music—in that order—
highlight the campus docket as Guilford swings into its final week of
classes before spring vacation begins at noon, March 18.
Spring Frolic
The Social Committee has peg
ged March 17 as the date for the
semi-formal Spring Frolic dance to
be held in the campus gym from
8 to 11 p.m.
Special permission from the ad
ministration has been given for the
event since it is being held on a
regular school night (Friday) with
classes being held until noon the
following day.
Chapel announcements will be
made when arrangements are com
pleted and the date concretely set.
In the planning stage are several
entertainment prospects for the
evening including a dancing ex
hibition by professional dancers
and a dancing contest with prizes
to be awarded the winners.
Costs of the dance, estimated at
SSOO, will be paid out of the Stu
dent Activity Fee. Admission will
be free to all students and their
dates.
The Spring Frolic semi-formal
will fill the gap left in Guilford's
social calendar by the postpone
ment several weeks ago of the Val
entine's dance due to scheduling
difficulties.
In charge of decorations is Fra
ser Smith. Co-chairmen of the
Social Committee are Jim Boles
and Lynn Hundley.
Anne Taylor and Betty Lou Mc-
Farland are in charge of refresh
ments. Other committee members
giving shape to the Frolic are
Tommy Bowers, Tommy Kemp,
Dwight Thomas, Charlie Little,
Frank Bailey, Judy Wells, Patty
Burgess and Jane Coletrane.
Faculty advisors to the Social
Committee are Miss Gwen Red
dick and Miss Kitty Upchurch.
The two groups will have a joint
meeting, however, on Friday night,
March 24, when the students se
lected as "Mr. and Miss FTA" from
all the represented colleges will
be presented to the entire group.
Lillian O'Briant, president of the
Guilford College chapter of the
FTA, expressed the feeling of the
delegation when she said, "We be
lieve that we will gain a great deal
from this conference in that we
will have a chance to meet some
of North Carolina's leading educa
tors with whom we will have deal
ings when we enter the actual
teaching field."
