Being in the Guilford College
Choir is delightful!
Starting at about 3:00 on
Saturday, September 18,
about 50 choir members and
our friends began to make our
way to the Eugene Terrell's
farm in Randolph County. For
the next eight and a half hours,
we had a blast!
We took walks through the
North Carolina woods and
fields; we talked to the cows;
we performed ballet steps along
a fallen down log; we dangled
our feet in the chilly refreshing
lake water; we examined daddy
long legs to determine which
way the cows were heading.
We played volleyball over a
net strung between two large
green tractors. Bill Terrell
displayed his fine directionless
spiking abilities, and even Rob
Mitchell managed to knock a
few balls (and one person)
over.
After a few games of volley
ball, we got down to the
serious business of roasting hot
dogs. Various techniques were
employed and advice was lent;
Gary Farlow, by using a six
foot roasting stick, made sure
he cooked his hot dogs and
not himself. We topped off our
meal with roasted marsh
mallows and (shades of
Scouting) smores.
By this time we had learned
people's names. That's Laririn;
There is Sue, Deborah, STeve,

and Mark. The girl with the
funny black hat is Ruth; over
there are Sally, Debbie, and
Tony; the girl who can really
serve those balls if Nobi.
"Pook's" real name is Denise;
the girl with the curly hair and
the dress is Sara Beth; Jane
was sitting beside me at supper,
and that tall, dark, handsome
man is Ed Lowe!
There were already rumors
who is that couple who went
behind the chicken house?
Dave Maclnness took over
then and helped us to dance.
We all did that Rumanian
stomping dance that was great
for letting out our frustrations,
but not so great for the grass!
Jenny Reehling and Mary
Hanhan really knew how to
dance that Armenian funeral
dance! We danced 'til we
dropped, then rushed for the
ice and drinks, then danced
some more.
Finally we all collapsed on
logs and benches around the
campfire and did what we do
best we sang. We heard
"The Lechery Brothers," sang
the old stand-by campfire
songs, and got a taste of those
songs w/3 will be singing
together as a choir this year.
Leaving that beautiful place
was hard to do we stayed
an hour longer than we'd plan
ned but we left with a sense
of togetherness and optimism
for this year in choir.

so all who feel themselves
qualified are urged to become
involved. Students who are
concerned about their ac
ademic efforts are especially
encouraged to get in

academic problems.
Various
Shades
of Gray
BY DENNIS GRAY
I opened my eyes to the
screaming voice of an angel.
Or so it seemed. Sleep comes
so hard these days.
Don't go there, she said. My
mystery was uncertain, like a
scrap of paper caught in the
wind.
Did I see the melting of
minds that becomes so
apparent when darkness falls
upon my face? In my confusion
I strain my eyes to see, to make
out the shadowy figure stand
ing before me.
And now, my fear turns to
curiosity. My confusion be
comes a desperate need to
know. I raise myself from my
resting place, trying with much
difficulty, to convince my vision
and other senses to function
properly.
It seems as if someone is
playing an intricate joke and I'm
caught up in its scheme. This
idea appeals to me, for I laugh
out loud, breaking what
seemed chilling silence. Or is
this a vision of death? My
laughter ends abruptly and I
feel my...shoulders...tremble...
Campus
Scenes
History class; Student
arrives, hair dripping wet finish
ing dressing by buckling belt
other well groomed student
watches and is appalled.
Faculty meeting; Teachers
are handed large amount of
material and someone reads it
as if none of them could read
it for themselves.

Switchboard
Needs Aides
If you're a good listener and
feel that you can deal effectively
with persons in a crisis sit
uation, the Switchboard Crisis
Center needs you.
Some 15 volunteers are being
sought to fill out the roster of
the agency, which usually has
about 35 "crisis aides" to staff
its telephone service.
A training course for aides
will begin October 6, at 7:30
p.m. at Switchboard, 518
Summit Avenue. Training, to
be held two nights a week, will
consist of instruction in cardio
pulmonary resuscitation, crisis
counseling and pharmacology.
The primary duty of aides is
to listen to persons who call or
sometimes come in to discuss
their problems, whether drug
related or not. In addition,
volunteers also work at the rock
concerts at the Greensboro
Coliseum. While acting as a
security against mild emergen
cies, these volunteers attend
the concerts free of charge.
Those interested should call
Helen Campbell or Bob
Newsome at 275-9977 between
the hours of nine and five.
