The Guilfordian
Coach Charles Forbes, with wife Katherine and son Chuck
Tour
In Indianapolis, Bill Flem
ing joined us, and Binford
Farlow returned home for a
few days. Bill, of the
Admissions Office, remained
with us for the rest of the trip,
assisting Ed.
Another highlight of our trip
was a free afternoon in
Richmond, Indiana, where a
majority of the choir visited
Earlham College (a really
pretty Quaker College of about
1200 students), and where
many went to Carol Inglis's
farm for a rousing game of
volleyball, (plus tree climbing,
pony-riding, etc.)
The Quaker meeting houses
were where we sang. The
people provided our dinners,
(the biggest and most
delicious covered dish dinners
we had ever seen), while
breakfasts were eaten in the
homes of the host families,
(where we stayed). The meals
most looked forward to, by far,
however, were the lunches on
the road at Burger King or
Mac Donald's! The host fami
lies couldn't have been any
nicer, and each home that we
stayed in seemed to get bigger
and nicer. Most all of our
audiences were extremely
friendly and responsive and
seemed to like our color
combination, pink gowns and
burgundy jackets.
Looking back, we not only
had good visits in Indiana and
Ohio, but we had a very scenic
ride through Kentucky and
Tennessee on the way there,
and through West Virginia
and Virginia on the way back.
(7 states in all!) Not having to
pay for anything except for our
meal in Indianapolis was one
of the best parts of all.
Another favorite was exper
iencing a ''Mid-Western"
snowstorm which started in
Leesburg. The previous even
ing we had had a night of belly
dancing entertainment with
Mary Hanhan.
Our choir tour ended in
Barnsville, Ohio with Kristin
Mor'on, a Guilford graduate
and Choir Alumnus, who now
te* nes there. A very nice
.eption in the library
followed our performance and
was truly a great end to a
super choir tour. The trip back
on Sunday, March 14th was
long but fun, especially after
being treated to banana splits
by Bill Fleming. Lunch in
Charleston, West Virginia was
centered around a musical
"thank-you" to bus driver
Dave Hatcher, ending with the
presentation of a red t-shirt
with "Dave-Our Man" and
"Big Bad Buser - '66-'76
printed on it.
To me. one of the most
valuable assets of the whole
tour was having the chance to
get to know people for so
much more than just than
their name. Being drawn
together by a common interest
in singing, and then being so
close together for ten whole
days has brought into choir an
almost "family-like" atmos
phere that I (and many others)
have really been fun and
rewarding to be a part 0f...
P.S. Please excuse the
delay.

Quaker
B-Ball
Continues
The Quakers of Guilford
College went 3-3 this past
week to make their overall 7-9,
but more importantly the
Quakers defeated Catawba
College on Tuesday 7-2 to
make their Carolinas Confe
rence mark 1-0.
The Quakers began the
week by defeating Franklin
and Marshall 5-1. Ray Cooke
went the distance for the
Quakers picking up his second
victory of the year and
allowing only four hits. Chris
Paphites was the leading
batter for the Quakers hitting
a triple and going 1-2.
On Tuesday the Quakers got
a very important win as they
defeated Catawba 7-2 at
Salisbury. The importance of
this win is due to the fact that
it is an early away Carolinas
Conference win. Larry Jack
son went the distance for the
Quakers picking up his second
win of the year against three
losses. Jackson after a slow
start at the first of the year
came back in his old form
against Catawba as he allowed
only three hits and struck out
seven. Randy Black, Pella
Stokes and Bruce Baden all
went 1-3 to lead the Quaker
batsmen.
Against Hampden-Sydney
on Wednesday the Quakers
dropped both games of a
double header 2-1 and 6-5. In
the first contest the Quakers
could only come up with three
hits as the Quakers bats were
silenced. In the second game
the same thing happened
except for Bobby Chamberlain
who was designated hitter for
the first time. Chamberlain
responded at the bat by going
2-4, scoring one run and
batting in another.
On Thursday the Quakers
lost to Liberty Baptist up at
Lynchburg, 5-2 for their ninth
loss of the year.
On Saturday the Quakers
returned home after the three
game road trip and defeated
St. Lawrence of New York
14-11. After falling behind 8-2
the Quakers rallied for six
runs in both the third and fifth
inning to wrap up their
seventh win of the year. Ray
Cooke came on in relief for his
third win of the year and
Bruce Baden burned it up at
the plate for Guilford going
4-6 and Barry Hussey went
3-4.
