(292-1182), or just leave a note
in the Union Mailbox (Box

number, and what type of act
you've got and you're on your

The Sentinel Boys have
previously played at Guilford,
but the band you will hear
this time is not necessarily the
band you heard before. Their
musical style has evolved from
an exclusively acoustic
sound to their present electric
one. They play almost entirely
original compositions and do
not like to put a label on
them. But if you try really
hard to pin them down they
might say phrases like
"Impressionism" or "A form
of jazz."
So come on out next
Saturday to hear the Sentinel
Boys. To quote Keith Roscoe,
owner of the Guitar Shop and
longtime fan, "They're a great
band."

Hospital in Greensboro while
waiting for David to get his
degree.
Then came jobs for David in
Jersey City, White Plains and
now Dover. Emily has
continued to work as a physical
therapist except when the
children were small.
She also continued to want
a college degree. Part of the
reason was economics.
"General Foods has kept
David in Dover for 13 years
and is not likely to let him
stay there much longer,"
she explained.
"If we move to a new city
it will mean lookirig for a job
for me," she continued.
"While schools of physical
therapy do award degrees
now, they did not at the time
I finished at Duke. I will be
more competitive on the job
market with a college degree
than I would be with just the
certificate I received then."
After the children grew up
and moved away, Emily knew
it was then or never for her
to complete her formal educa
tion. She considered other
schools, but in her heart she
wanted her degree to come
from Guilford.
Emily telephoned Guilford's
admissions director, who
promised to look at her records
and call her back. He did, with
exciting news.
The college was willing to
accept an article she had
written for "Physical Therapy
Review" as her senior

thesis, and she could complete
her degree work in one
semester.
That just about clinched it.
Only one thing stood between
her and her decision to return
to Guilford approval of "this
screwball idea" by her husband
and children.
Approval? "They thought it
was the idea of the century,"
Emily laughed. "Once the ball
got rolling, everybody jumped
on. I got support from my
co-workers and friends at
church, so much that it sur
prised me."
And David? "Oh, he swung
right in there, assuring me he
wouldn't mind the vacuuming,
the grocery shopping, watering
the plants, using the washing
machine. My family was my
cheering squad, saying, 'Go,
Quaker!"'
That's when Emily's photo
graph began its secret journey
to the Guilford College Baby
Book.
And that's when her family
told her: "If you do not comply
gracefully with our wishes
and return for graduation in
May, we will take you there,
screaming and kicking."
Now, Emily wouldn't trade
the Baby Book for anything.
She even had her senior
candid made for the yearbook.
"And it won't be necessary
for my family to drag me back
for graduation," she smiled.
"Wild horses couldn't keep
me away!"
