AVhile a student here several years ago, Mills was tapped by Torchlight, did outstanding w’ork in creative Eng lish, and in his senior year headed the Social Standards committee. Con tinuing his record, he was elected president of the Guilford Y.M.C.A., was a member of the debating team and of the scholarship honor society at the Quaker school, and a tyro in the pedagogic field. To Seek Master’s Degree Asked about his future plans, the ash-blonde, blue-eyed young tutor re vealed that he planned to try out pedagogical work the first year after his coming graduation. “Then I’ll prob ably start work on a master’s degree,” he commented. “I’d like to add,” he continued, “that I'm as proud of the Social Standards conference held Monday as you are. As one who has engineered a similar undertaking, I want to congratulate, its leaders and wish future meetings the continued success of this one,” Mills concluded. 1937 Graduate F' ■ : :■ Ted Mills, Guilford college senior, is now practicing teaching in the his tory department. — (Staff Photo by 1‘urnell Kennedy.)
