As you go forth into the unknown, our best wishes go with you, our faith in you remains. May you look back on your college days with pleasure and play the "do you remember" game. Though widely scattered you will be bound by a tie of Guilford's spirit and we shall look forward to seeing you again. To the rest of you, have a swell vacation. See you in September. The GUJLFORDIAN Staff. Thanks, Pal The staff of the GUII.FORDIAN wishes to thank Jack Wright for making this issue possible. Jack worked until he collected the $lO of ads that were vital to our dwindling bank account. Thank you, Jack! To the "Y" Since congratulations seem to be the theme of the day, we think the "Y" de serves a hand for sponsoring THE WALK project. Many ideas have been presented but few have been put in action. Our walk that was a dream a few'weeks ago is now a reality. There are blisters and calluses on "the hands you love to touch" from the un accustomed task of swinging a mattock and digging ditches but we are all con tented in knowing that a job has been well done. Credit goes to Overseer Frank Miles who devoted a good sixteen hours of val uable time to seeing that the shoulders were firm and lined with brick, that the tiling was placed correctly and all the technical details that one learns after three summers of working with a road construc tion gang. His crew also demands a word of praise. Those who worked are those who have the true spifit of Guilford and have developed a sense of civic responsibility. .We commend you! The walk is only one example of the possibilities that lie in united action. We recommend that more organizations spon sor worthwhile projects. With the new year, '44-'45 ahead of us, let us pledge ourselves to the improvement of our campus. My love she are went, Her love it are cold. She left me a note Which say I are old.

Yours in calm dignity, Burhle and Slurp THE GUILFORDIAN OPEN FORUM Dear Editor: I nm writing this letter in an attempt to tell you how much it meant to me to receive The Guiifordian way out here. Any news from th States is welcome, but receiving The Guiifordian was a special pleasure, as it brought hack to me the short but enjoyable time I spent at Guilford. It served as an added reminder of how much we, over here, have to look forward to, at the end of the war. Strict censorship prevents me from going into details about myself. I am well, and hope that all of Guilford is the same. Thanks again for putting out a swell paper. Best of luck to all of you! As ever, TOM KANE. April 18, 1044 Hello, Editor: While gazing tit the I'nion Building here at Duke, I was surprised to find the good old "Guilford College" emblem chiseled into the stone as one of the decorative features of the building, li certainly gives I'S a "permanent" position here at Duke. I thought some of the Gullforilians would be interested in this bit of publicity. Excuse the poor rhetoric and spelling.

Later the orchestra was organized. These two organizations have been working together and this year have produced a program which is of the very highest type. Some critics say that the quality of tone and balance of the club cannot be equalled by any other club of similar size in the state. November 9, 1821—The spirit of the Y.M.C.A. is constantly accelerating due to a more sincere desire for Christian fellowship. The old dry lecture system lias broken down, and a co operative program is being used instead. May 17, 1922—Guilford College Glee Club pre sented its first concert to a large audience of college students and members of the community at Memorial Hall, May IS. The Scotch feature was probably the most popular number and received prolonged applause. The quartette, attired in the picturesque costumes of the Scotch QUIPS and QUIRKS ... by three jerks Another year rolls by: Graduation . . . May Day . . . Exams . . . and our last column. We have enjoyed writing for you, and appreciate your cooperation this year in affording us news. O l.oose Ends: Dee Waring lias become an anthor . . . he wrote a sequel to "They Were Expendable," only he didn't mean PT boats . . . lie meant I*. Shoemaker, and ask him why! Dancing Master Griswald has invented a new step called the THIRD-BASE-IK >l'; you should have seen him improving it on tirst and third on the Softball diamond ... lie was thrown oft the bug both times. We hear that "Junior" has been offered a contract as base coach for ilie Yankees .. . "Potts.v" may accept. Lambert received a letter from Fredricksburg addressed "Mr. Willie Lambert," sounds interesting . . . but with a name like that she should stay in lirouklyn . . . There was a shuttle in the local police department . . . "Sheriff" Ivent and "Coil stable" Hire have everything from a badge to squad cars—the "sheriff's" bike will lie equipped with a spotlight and a siren soon —wouldn't the Lone Hanger just love them? It lias become so bad that dating couples wear gloves when on West Porch . . . "Cookie" Trice's mother was crying because her daughter bad been a wafer so long—for that pun we are now rivaling (■erliard—we think that he is the pimuiest man on the campus . . . Since Zoot Ota was caught "wolfing," Kabbi Goodridge might to take warn ing .. . "Ettle" gets caught we'd hate to lie wearing his number nines! '"The Call of the Wild," or "Spring Is Here," Biilluck, Esq. began his yearly wandering among the feminine popu lation—Last year a Washington girl and this year a Washington Hussey—wow! We'll miss having "Father" Pearson around now, and no donbt the gills will miss "Dink"—these alumni just can't stay away, it seems. O Kay Wood started things off right this year— Ellen "Bawston" Hayes is the gal who used the lasso this time . . . Jack Wright, you had better wind your Ingersoli before you date Marg from now on—the dorms close out here at 11 :()(), not 11: . Quote Barney: "Stabee just isn't tlie marrying kind." Speaking of quotes, Lovey says that "Hank" is quite a man—Well! "Sella" Ahrams has competition now —'"Gypsy Kose Lee" Casey is the embarrassed one . . . "Slick," the man with Jimmy Joe's clothes, should swap with the wolf in sheep's clothing—he's been really thrilling the cutle from Star—liia.vbe he wants her to be his guiding light . . . Instead of play ing ball with the fellows, Bnurassa has his own phys. ed. class from 0:40 to 10:00 each night— he lias that beautiful moonbeam pallor to prove It, too! . . . Notice: "The Boar and Castle" is now considered "on campus," or appears to be — we think that if it is good enough for "the sher iff," It is good enough for students. "Balzac" and Beyer are running a close race for valet and chamber-maid in the dorm—who's gonna win? These Turkish blended fags that Augie and Davie have been smoking leave a dark brown taste in your mouth, maybe they soaked them in exterminator fluid, who knows? Werntz, the Imported wolf from Haverford, is giving Fletcher, Gray, anil Hayes an Idea of how it is done in Pliillie—just can't understand it! — Mahelli has no more reason to go to the library. O Fellows, let's leave opr signs (i.e. Yankee Sta dium and Centre Hotel) on the sections, we like 'em, even tho they've been up a long, long time — but we hear that the Hlre-ups don't like them. Holland is in a rut —every girl he goes with gets married—but not to him—Now comes the time when all things end. the year's almost over and so is our column —we've enjoyed it all in all— and hope that there are no hurt feelings—and since we are almost thru we'd like to add that we are glad to see that ex-editor Belie Bailey came down for a visit and the original Gindrew came up from Spartanburg to see how the weather was in a good state—poor .Mayor Dixon fell in tin- creek last week—now he is actually "all wet." When next year rolls around we may have a dorm for married students—namely llartke and Bourassa, and since Hump is learn ing how to crochet, he and Warlike may reserve room space—-With that we will leave Guilford fur the time being—and with a rousing cheer of "Viva la Queenland!" Frap, Ziiu and Stretch. Highlanders, danced and sang its way into the hearts of the audience. The orchestra played in an especially pleasing manner, reaching its best in "The Wabash Blues" which was encored. May 13, 1944
