Don't Miss MISGELANEA By Cochrane VOLUME XXXVI High Point Lead Overcome by Quakers for 19-19 Tie Quaker Staff in Actions- Return to Conventional The "Quaker" staff, of which Marianne Vietorius is editor, got an early mart on the 1950 yearbook tliis year; with individual portraits, planning, and layout already on the list of jobs accomplished- Although the editors were not too generous in handing out staff secrets, t.hey did give a hint tha'l there would he a return in the more conventional yearbook organization of sectioning, and that an elabora tion of the campus and sports sec tion was part of their plan. In 1 his connection, the staff revealed that the 1950 "Quaker" would con tain more pages than the books of previous years, but would not be quite the size of the '47, '4B, and '49 "Quakers." Since these staffs had never been able to balance their budgets with the use of the large page, this year's editor felt that it would be wiser to put out a smaller size book containing more pages, than to try to keep the size and cut down on the number of pages. According to the staff, the main emphasis this year will be GuilFordians Treated Like Kings While at Work Camp in Cuba BT Til EI,MA CLODFEL.TEU This past summer Mr. Hiram Hilty, professor of Spanish, took 11 group of students from Guilford and Earlham Colleges 011 a work camp project to Olbara, Orlente, Cuba. The specific building project of the camp was to build a dining room for the Eriend's Convention of Young People which meets every year in Glhara; but in the estima tion of we who were fortunate enough to go, much more was ac complished. ftilmra is about as untouched by the modern world as is any place Talent Show, Parly Planned By Group With all special freshman activi ties over, the W. S. ti. is now mak ing plans for a Halloween party for the girls and another talent show for all students. After the trials and tribulations of October 11, 1-.

' No special date has been set for the Halloween party, but (Jinny Toole, chairman, promises it to be a huge success with all types of gob lins and witches around. The Talent Show will be in No vember, and will proliably be slmi liar to last year's program. As yet il is not known what musical show Charlotte Elanders and Eleanor Corneilson will pantomiue iliis year. On the serious side, the W. S.

The people, therefore, hold strictly to the old Spanish eirttnins 11s much as any In the Western Hemisphere. There is in every Cuban village one iNirk or maybe more according to the size of the town. Every eve ning the entire populace will meet there. The girls will walk around the square of the park while the boys sit by .and watch for a girl with whom they would like to walk. There also occurs the serenading of senoritas which takes place in the middle of the night. The parks 011 some week-ends are turned into gay places of fiestas. Everybody goes and has a good time. There are booths with games of chance, stands which sell food, and always a band playing the en chanting Cuban-Africa music. With the fiestas there is always street dancing. The people enjoy and do a great (leal of dancing, but not the rlmniba, which Is commonly be lieved to be the popular dance of Cuba. The tiling which thrilled me the most about Cuba was the people themselves. Everybody was ex tremely friendly, helpful, polite, and always at our service. The people with whom we lived could not have treated us better had we been kings. The bus conductors, the grocerymnn, the huicher, the postal employees, clerks, and street ped dlers were always patient with us when we were using our limited amount of Spanish. We did many unorthodox things which Cuban women would never dream of such as wearing jeans, carrying stalks of bananas up the street, anil sunbathing while iu swimming. The people only shrug ged and said "Americanos locos" and forgave 11s anything for that reason. The homes was the thing which I noted the greatest change in com pared to the T'liited States. There is the native bohio type of house which is found in rural Cuba. It is made from the bark of the royal palm tree and the roof is thacthed made from the branches of the Maine tree. It has a hard ground floor with only I lie bare necessities of furnishings. The homes of the very few middle class people are also very scarcely furnished. There are 110 rugs on the floor, no over stuffed furniture, and few decora live pieces. The homes of the rich are elaborately furnished but al GUILFORD COLLEGE, N.

The goal had been set for and the faculty had already contributed more than their progioi'- : ion. To the students was left a total which, when divided among them, amounted to approximately one dollar each. The S. C. A. attempts lo collect this amount through personally con tacting each member of the student body, and chairman Sally Haire re ports that Ibis is being done. This is a very important drive. Five cents given to each organiza tion represented by each student will push it over the top. according (> Ksther Lowe, S. C. A. president. NIIMItKK i !
