by the SCA, the Interfaith Coun
cil will begin its work in the fall.
The Spring Frolic, held the night
before Spring Vacation began, saw
the gym dolled up as never before.
A new "sky," a fountain, a mirror
ball, and multi-colored lights were
background elements for the mu
sic of the Mellotones and elicited
gasps of delight and surprise from
the 75 couples who attended.
Lynne Hundley, in charge of deco
rations, credited Miss Kitty Up
church with providing invaluable
decorating assistance. The Frolic
was a project of the Social Com
mittee.
The Junior Class Auction held
March 9 netted the class $125.00.
Items auctioned off included a pair
of bowling shoes, four flying les
sons, an aquarium, and a picnic
for ten people.

than all previous southern tours,"

Charlottesville, Va., March 20—
When the Albemarle Rescue Squad
arrived at the scene of a two-car
collision over the week end, squad
men found three rather stunned
college boys and five bags of badly
shaken snakes.
The snakes, the boys explained
Saturday, were helping to pay for
a trip north from Florida. You see,
they told rescuers, it all started
with that panty raid . . .
But, to go back to the beginning
of their tale of adventure and woe:
One day earlier this year, cer
tain fires of spring sprang to the
fore with the bright sun that shone
upon the campus of Guilford Col
lege in Greensboro, N. C.
The same spring-ey fires inflam
ed a certain great number of young
men's hearts, and before the day
was out a panty raid on nearby
women's dormitories was on.
Among the casualties, announced

HAYRIDE SCHEDULED
The Sophomore Class will spon
sor a hayride on Saturday, April
15, from 7:30 p. m. to midnight.
Leaving Guilford at 7:30 p. m., the
hayride will travel to the Battle

February 22, were Bill Brown, 19,
of Downington, near Philadelphia,
and Peter Gordon, 20, of London,
England, suspended until summer
school. Peter's brother, Alan, 22,
also of Guilford College, missed
the event and so remained in
school.
About ten days ago, Peter and
Bill headed for Florida, left their
car at Oehopee, on the edge of the
vast Everglades, and on foot, went
10 miles into the swamp.
Their purpose: to catch snakes,
preferably poisonous ones.
Their result: about 70 snakes,
from southern Florida kings to
Florida green water snakes, bag
ged. Alas, no poisonous ones, how
ever.
The boys, it seemed, camped out
by night and by day waded
through the swamp and snatched
the snakes by hand from the mud
dy waters. They also took pictures
and had themselves a ball, it furth
er seems.
Three or four days ago, they
headed north to pick up Alan, as
Guilford's spring vacation got un
der way. They sold 50 of the
snakes they had caught to a Flor
ida reptile farm at 10 cents a foot,
which gave them just enough gas

WSG INSTALLATION
In a candlelight ceremony at the
Friends Meeting House March 30
the Women's Student Government
conducted its annual installation
of new officers.

Marlette, Dean of Women, also

money to stop at Guilford, load
Alan aboard, and continue on to
New York City, where the three
planned to spend a week or so of
Alan's vacation time.
Unfortunately, their car and an
other car smacked into each other
Saturday on U. S. Rt. 29 near the
Nelson - Albemarle (V a.) county
lines. The boys' car, a 1961 model,
was a total loss.
Today, the three were dickering
with Charles Rausch, rescue squad
lieutenant and somewhat of a
snake fancier himself, over the pos
sible sale of a few more snakes.
After a court hearing on the acci
dent, they intended to continue
traveling northward.
How? Why, either by railroad or
by hitchhiking, snakes and all.
And next on the agenda?
For Alan, the end of spring va
cation and back to the books at
Guilford.
For the other two, however, a
new snake-hunting expedition
this time into the mesquite country
of Texas.
After all, diamondback rattlers
will bring a dollar a foot from a
reputable zoo, collector, or reptile
farm.
