Pitching should be a strong
point for the Quakers this
season with Larry Jackson, an
11 game winner last year, and
Ray Cooke who led the NAIA

Intramural Tourney Begins
by Frankye Bo vies
The time has finally come to
decide who are the basketball
intramural champions. After a
very successful regular sea
son, tournament play to
decide the two best basketball
teams (women's and men's)
on campus began Monday
night, February 23.
The tournament pairings
were drawn Friday afternoon
by the intramural committee.
The pairings were determined
Musical Madness Shakes Up The Fans
By C. Vanneman
The musical instrument
group that has come to be
known as "the Pep Band" is
still in operation. We formed
the group after first semester
this year with the great
assistance and energy of Jim
Carver, who has since served
as our director. We originally
had planned to be an informal
group, paying our way to
games when we could afford
to. However, observing the
incredibly sincere joy at
seeing a band in the crowd, we
decided to become a real
organization, budgeted by the
Senate, so that we could go to
more games, build a float for
Homecoming, and fix some
instruments as well as buy
some music to supplement the
books left over from Guilford's
last band.
Last Saturday night was the
last planned appearance of the
Guilford College Band. We
hope to play together more
before school is out; more
along the lines of ensemble
work rather than rah rah
music. This will afford you
people who are into more
serios music, a chance to play
with others. (You hear me
Teach?!) Serious musicians,
or not, feel free to come to our
next meeting on Friday, Feb.

records. In the women's
division, all five teams were
allowed to play. But in the
men's league, the first and
second place teams in each
league were drawn into the
pairings.
The two championship
games are scheduled for Wed.
March 3. The following night
the Faculty women and the
Faculty men will challenge the
two championship teams in
fun games.

We have several instruments
people can use. If you came
once before but thought the
group was too small, come
back!
Next year, with a larger,
more diverse group, we hope
to branch out into more
ensemble work as well as a
concert or two under the trees

try getting a one hour credit as

pressed for time.
To all the people who so

our heartfelt thanks. We truly
appreciated your cheers,
requests, and applause. SEE
YOU NEXT YEAR!
