"Editorial expression shapes public opinion only if it adheres to the
right, if it serves the public interest, if it is fearless, vigorous, unprej
udiced and persistent; if it adheres to a reasonable policy well-grounded
in experience and urassailable in purpose. Such editorial expression is
effective if it comes from an Independent, free, solvent newspaper, which
has won the confidence of its field and is beyond the reach of selfish
interests."— Arthur C. Johnson
Welcome, Alumni . . .
As the alumni return on this important day, the faculty and
student body greet them with pleasure.
Since graduation, many of you have substituted domestic and
business problems in place of theses, comprehensives, and speeches.
Others are pursuing careers in medicine, law, journalism and
music. We are proud of your records in these fields.
In reality, the miles, the varied interests and circumstances that
make you distant from the campus do not separate you from the
college.
As you return to the campus today, you will notice the "New
Look." Guilford is about to break ground for its new Science
building. It has already built a third tier for the library and
made other improvements so sorely needed.
But you will find few traditions have altered. Unchanged
through the years are the very memories that mould a college
spirit. Undergraduates enjoy the same things that you, the alumni
did years before.
In your support and pride for Guilford, you show us how in
the future years we may help the progress of our school.
Homecoming Day is set aside for you to renew friendships,
relive pleasant experiences, and review memories of your alma
mater. So we say, Welcome Alumni!
Rivals . . .
Tonight alumni and students of two colleges will witness the
annual football classic between two bitter rivals for the mythical
championship of Guilford County. It is Homecoming for both
High Point and Guilford, and as such, there will be a large crowd
to see this game.
No matter what the attitude of the other side, wouldn't it be
fitting if Guilford rooters conducted themselves like the good
sports they really are? It is not to the credit of this college for
its students to attempt to reach' the low level of sportsmanship
that its rival does. If the other college commits acts of vandalism,
that is no just cause for Guilford to turn around and do the same.
Emotions will reach a high peak tonight in Albion Millis Sta
dium. Let's direct them into our undivided support of the team.
On behalf of the students and the faculty,
THE GUILFORDIAN
extends its deepest sympathy
to the football team
of
HIGH POINT COLLEGE
on the loss they will suffer tonight.

With the Class of '4B
After five months away from
Guilford we find the class of 1948
scattered throughout the nation
teaching, working and studying.
The majority of the graduates
are teaching in schools in North
Carolina. Mnry Elizabeth Barney
has spent many afternoons 011 the
campus telling of the trials of a
school teacher at Alamance, while
Jitter Hauser stops by long enough
to say "Hey." Jitter teaches music
In three different schools in Wlnston-
Salein. June Hinsbaw is at Sedge
Garden, Ethel Gearren at Sumner,
and A 1 Itusack is showing off his
knowledge at Bessemer High School.
Roy and Gerry Garris Cuneo are
doing a husband and wife act at
Chicod School in North Carolina,
as are Bunk Leonard and his wife,
the former Roxie Roberson, at Wal
nut Cove. Rachel Thomas and Mari
Eijima have gone tip north to teach,
Mari at Westtown School and Rachel
in Merion, Pennsylvania.
Waiting for hubby to finish college
here at Guilford are Marie Elliot
Teague, Lena Mae Adams McCraw
and Queeta Raiford Hansard. It's
the other way around for Wes In
mail. He's working in Greensboro
while Jackie completes her last year
here. Down in Deland, Florida, Ina
Rollins Sims is helping John finish
his education at Stetson University.
Barbara Winslow Rose is doing the
same at Carolina for her husband.
Mention of Carolina reminds us
that Herb Schoellkopf, Elvin Stroud
and Horace Haworth are doing
graduate work down at the Hill.'
Jack Arzonico is studying for his
masters in Physical Education at
the University of Indiana, while
Jerry Allen is up at Yale Univer
sity, missing the college life at Gull
ford. Jennie Cannon is in sunny
Florida doing graduate work in
languages at the University of
Florida. Harold Orvis is at Colum
bia and Brad Snipes is at Haver
ford in pursuit of further knowl
edge. Henry and B. J. Thompson
Pollack are at the University of
South Carolina while Hank studies
for liis masters.
At medical school we find David
Hadley at the University of Pennsyl
vania and Marvin Jose at the Uni
versity of Chicago. Marvin attained
fame when he was offered a posi
tion at the Atomic Research Com
mission at Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
However he turned down this post
to work in medicine.
John Phillips is taking courses 111
advertising in Philadelphia and
Peggy Stabler is the secretary to
the principal of Mineral Springs
High School in Winston.
Doc and Midge Ridge Brodeur
have not deserted the campus of
Guilford. Midge is working as Mr.
Parsons' secretary while Doc is 1111
ace sportswriter for the Greensboro
Record. Working in Greensboro are
Jim Andrews and Lefty Ralls. Ros
coe Cox is selling life insurance as
Guiifordians can well testify, and
le Horse's Mouth
standing him up in favor of •"No
body loves me" Smitlideal. "But
John was lonesome," Jean says.
Why is it nobody hears about
Crutchfleld and Kiser, Anderson and
lOdgertonV Don't they do anything
unusual any more?
Terrell and Haworth beat the
Xo Dating on Mondays rule by going
to the IUC meetings together and
returning (about 9:30) in the same
condition. Some other of you "frus
trated by Monday" lovers take
notice.
Willis is carefully watching some
new freshman boy who thinks Jean
I'hilbrook has beautiful eyes, lie
(tile frosh) gave her a little toy dog
and wants to date her. But Willis
says no! Absolutely!
Barbara Pearson lias clamped an
iron ring of censorship over Pettin
gell's mail. She doesn't like all the
letters he gets from these New York
babes . . . you got to watch these
big city women, Babs.
J. Schopp is holding hands with
Jean Carroll a little too often . . .
and we thought Jean had reformed.
Marlette seems to have found
something more Interesting than
■Margie Benbow In Audrey Smith.
... and Duckor wishes Colleen
didn't sound so much like Corny.
What's this with Form Presnell
and Wilda Mae Brlles?
Bo Small seems to be taking up
all of Mickey I'eele's time nowa
days.
See you at the High Point game.
Beat the Panthers!
A 1 Cappiello the last we heard was
working for his father in Brooklyn.
The rest of the class seem to have
faded into the background some
where along the line but we'll have
more news of them in a later issue.
Pitching Platters
Those sound you hear coming from
Dobbin's Music Shop are only notes
from the horn of Dizzy "Mohammed"
Gillespie. The bopanatics are having
a Held day now that Dizzy has start
ed waxing his noisjes. No longer do
friends for frenzy have to read about
bop in a magazine, Dizzy lias hit
the top. He's gone. No more one
night stands in lowly cabaret for a
few measly bobs. He has suffered
for his art. Listen to "Oop Hop
Bedah." He's suffered. Mr. G's horn
is backed up with intermittant
sharps and flats from the instru
ments of Frankie Parker and Mel
Powell.

With the help of a few bennies
and Stan Kenton's mad group, June
Christy shrills her way through a
batch of Kenton's Progressive Jazz
discs in Mr. K's latest album. Miss
Christy warbles mighty tint l on
"Lonely Women," but she sorta miss
ed the trolley 011 "This Is My
Theme." Put yourself in a quiet
room and lend an ear to the moody
melodies slurped off the alto sax of
George Weidler, the crazy rhythms
plucked from the strings of Laurin
do Almeida's guitar, the shrill cry
of master A 1 Porcino's trumpet, and
the intricate patterns in percussion
from Shelly Mantle's drums.
The album includes: "Cuban Car
nival," 'Monotony," "Lonely Wom
an," "Lament," "Impressionism,"
"Kleg.v for Alto," "Fugue for
Rhythm Section," "This is my
Theme." Cap. CD-79 ... -3.75.

Kay Kyser has got luck again
and put out a mighty tine little rec
ord. "On A Slow Boat to China." I
can't describe it. It's just good!
Har.v Babbit croons the chorus,
"There is no verse, to this song."
"Boat" is backed up with "In the
Market Place of Old Monterey."
Columbia 38301.
The Frankie Laine fans are get
ting few and far between now, but
when you do run across one, he's
gone. Frankie's unique style sky
rocketed him to the top on "That's
My Desire" and now he comes tip
with his best so far, "Ah But It
Happens." Frankie really puts his
heart and soul into his vnrliling,
and when he says "Hold Me," he
means it.

FAHIM QUBAIN
Fahim Qubain (rhymes with noth
ing the writer can think of) is from
a Christian family in Palestine and
Trans Jordan. He emphasizes the
word "Christian," not because of
prejudice, but "because there is a
misconception in America that every
one in Palestine is either Moslem or
Jewish."
Fahim graduated from the
Friends' Boys School at Ramallah.
He came to America for commercial
purposes in 1940, but the fireworks
back home left him with plenty of
supply, and 110 demand.
With the background in mind, we
asked him a few questions:
Q. Do you think financial worries
or women are the chief causes of
baldness?
A. I stand on my constitutional
rights and refuse to answer. My
answer may tend to incriminate me.
Q. Does the average Arabian citi
zen know as little about us as We
know about them?
A. They know the American people
have cars, are crazy, and when
there is an American around, prices
go up ten times.
Q. What impressed you most at
Guilford?
A. The friendly atmosphere.
Q. Do they believe in equality of
women to men in Arabia?
A. In the lower classes they don't,
but in the educated classes they do.
Q. Has tile veil given way in
Arabia to the peek-a-boo bang?
A. The Christian women never
wore veils. Among the older genera
tion of Moslem women, the veil pre
vails. The younger generation does
not wear them.

articles on our foreign students.)
