It is the time of the year when daffodils line the walks and the air is heavy with the scent of freshly mowed wild onions. The trees blossom, the birds sing, and all of those other trite things poets have been writing about for cen turies happen. But, essentially this season comes to awaken the deeper emo tions, to stir the inner youthful ness, "to rekindle the heart-felt feelings, the soul-throbbing throbs, the nerve-tingling tingles of every young man and woman. It brings to life again in one glorious bloom all those things which have lain latent the whole, cold winted long. And with the advent of Spring in view, I think it is only proper that an article be written for the lovers of the campus—something to serve as a guide post, a lamp in the midst of the darkness of misunderstanding, ignorance, and confusion. So with pen in hand, and a determined will to at last make my contribution to humani ty I have set down the following simple hints and helpful sugges tions for the lovers of Guilford College campus. It may be used as one would use a Duncan Hines Handbook or an A. A. A. travel folder. Walking Places In the Spring, the lovers sec ond most popular occupation is walking. The North Carolina countryside and the Guilford cam pus lend themselves very well to this favorite outdoor sport. In years past an area that was frequently frequented was what was known as the "pasture." There still is the "pasture" however 1 , much of it has been converted into a lake. Nevertheless this could have its advantages too: just think how romantic it would be to sit on the slimy beach and gaze into those placid, brown, muddy wa ters! There is a very nice wood bordering the lake where you may observe beautiful spring wild flowers and the twittering birds. And then in the evening, after the sun has gone down, the cam pus proper is popularly populat ed. The gentle breezes romantical ly rustle the leaves in the tall, majestic trees, and the porticos of the library and King stately stand in the night. The adminis tration of the school has put up lovely, excuse-the-e xpression, ~ SOCIALWISE .. BETTY VENABLE .... Society Editor Moss-Peeler Miss Barbara Moss of Cliffside, North Carolina, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. G. O. Moss was united in marriage with Darrel Dean Peeler on December 25 in GafT ney, South Carolina. Mrs. Peeler is continuing her studies at Guilford College where she is a Sophomore. Mr. Peeler holds a position with Radio Sta tion WAAA in Winston-Salem and is planning to continue his studies in physics at Guilford. They are now living in the Guil ford College Community. O Brown-Robinson Announcement is made of the wedding of Miss Betty Jean Brown, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. searchlights "to beautify our cam pus at night." These will be a de pendable aid in finding your way about. Nevertheless, there are spots here and there where the searchlights don't illuminate and where you can discuss your chem istry assignments in private. Meeting Places For the ordinary run-of-the-mill persons there are wonderfully con ventional places to meet, such as in the hall of one of the girls dorms or the Soda Shop. However, during the spring people rarely do the conventional thing: it is so much more exciting to do the unoonventional. Therefore, look ing at it from this angle there are many thrilling places to meet. Sometimes the most obvious is the easiest to get away with. Many couples meet in classrooms and carry on their carrying-on's via looks, nods, winks, and smiles while the professor lectures on and on and on and on. Many meet at various organiza tion meetings, and others get to gether in a variety of other places ranging from the Registrar's Office to the Post Office at the corner. But, by far the most popular place to meet is the library. With its many nooks and crannies it lends itself perfectly as an excit ing rendezvous of the lovers. Other Places Of course, If you get hard-up there are other places where you can go also. There are movies, places like "The Boar and Castle," drive-ins, and even skating rinks. In this wonderful age of the au tomobile your horizon is almost limitless. And, if all these bore you, you can just drive around in your car —or sit in one of the parlors at Hobbs or Founders. If you are an interesting or interested con versationalist you can be assured of always having an enjoyable time no matter where you are. No Conclusion I hope that this guide will help those many confused individuals tfiat, though arounsed, rarely know what to do when Spring comes. In ending, let me remind every one that he must never let go of the lovely concept that this season is a poetic one. Always re member that all of this wonder ful feeling is soul-throbbing throbs, nerve-tingling tingles, heart-pulsing pulses, and just life twiching twiches! Brown of Greensboro and James Lee Robinson, son of Mrs. C. J. Tranter, also of Greensboro. The vows were exchanged at the home of the officiating Minister, Rev. Robert Miller, on February 1. Mrs. Bullock of Greens boro was the bride's only attend ant. Mr. Bullock was the bride groom's best man. Mrs. Robinson had a year at Guilford College and is now em ployed as a secretary of Burling ton Mills Corporation. Mr. Roob inson also attended Guilford College. O Peace-Semmler The wedding of Miss Gene Peace, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence E. Peace, and Mr. Hen- THE GUILFORDIAN While casting around for ideas for material to include i n this week's article, the Missing Links found their minds barren. The thought, "Why not let some one else do the work?" came to their minds. They have several letters from friends who have departed from this campus and thought that you (the reader) might be interested in what has happened to them. Unfortunately we have com munications only from those whom we knew fairly well, but since they are mostly in a humorous tone, we think they will not bore you. Because of space limitations we can print only excerpts. There are also portions of all which could not be printed anyway. The first Is from Bill (Luigi) Serog, now involved at the Uni versity of Pennsylvania Dental School: "Hello Boys, "I thought I might as well write one letter rather than send some carbon copies to you (a la Clem). This semester we are taking up Anatomy, which .. . turned us into walking stinkers. Now won der, we spend five afternoons breathing Formaldehyde . . . Bio chemistry was not as interesting as organic. There was a lot of stuff to memorize, pages and pages of it. In the laboratory we were constantly analyzing saliva, gas tric secretion, and urine. The stuff was coming out through our ears. In Physiology we did, or rather tried, some surgery on cats and dogs, but the animals were often dead before we could count the operation successful. "Naturally we learn a lot about teeth, not only about human teeth, but in evolution we go back to the Dinosaurs and trace the develop ment. Teeth, teeth, teeth, teeth, teeth . . . "If any of you boys want to use some apartments over Easter, there will be many available . . ." The next is from Noel Haskell: "I did not finish summer school until Sept. at Upsala. Upsala was a big social event of my life. (This last sentence is typed in red ink.) Actually the school has gotten quite a good rating and there is a swell crowd of people. I work ed like hell the first semester, but the last one was a dilly, party, party, party. Of course my marks showed it somewhat . . . The joke of the year is that I got a job as an analytical chemist . . . Despite ry Charles Semmler, took place at the Friends' Meeting House in Archdale, North Carolina On Dec. 22. Mrs. Semmler graduated from Guilford College as a music ma jor and is now teaching Public School music and the third grade at the Allen J. School. Mr. Semm ler graduater this January from Guilford College. O Leake-Ingram Mr. and Mrs. Harry H. Leake of Winston-Salem have announc ed the marriage of their daugh ter, Lucy Gray, to Clinton Wel born Ingram of Thomasville. The wedding took place on January 19 at York, S. C. The bride is a Senior at Guil ford College, where she is a mem ber of the May Court, the Social Committee, Woman's Athletic As sociation, Scholarship Society and Dramatics Council. She was re cently elected to "Who's Who in American Colleges and Universi ties." The bridegroom, son of Mr. and Mrs. Cletis Ingram of Thomas ville, is a graduate of Guilford, where he was a member of the basketball and baseball teams. He is now coach at Richfield High School in Stanly County. O Moore-Freed Miss Mary Priscilla Moore, daughter of Mrs. James Clifford Fisher of Mooresville and William J. Moore of Shreveport, La., and Maitland Guy Freed, son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Freed of Greensboro were united in mar riage in Hamptonville at the home all my complaining (a paraphrase) about chemistry | in school I act ually think my work is terrific . . . After I was there a week they gave me a $5 dollar a week raise, the fools. I also have another job during the day. This one i s at Rockland state hospital . . ~ a mental institution . . . This will slay you, you know what I do??? You guessed it ... I work in the recreational department . . . If Coach Lentz could see me now! ... I work mostly with the violent ward, the children and adoles cents . . ." Bob Ertl writes: "To the 'Missing Lings', "When I speak to you, minds posthumus, I wonder how each ranks the other in orler of suc cession from our anthropological ancestors, the barbarian Clem, or the heathen Karl closest to the headwaters of primeval maternity. Though I can only express grati tude that you have elected with out duress to remove yourselves from the ranks of humanity, al though have you sent out invita tions to Ueltschi and Choate? "I worked with a landscaper after I last saw you. I felt a need to seek truth-beauty through nature. Or perhaps I was only kill ing time and making money work ing for the landscaper, but having not killed time, have only money now. After the few Jicks I got in at Columbia last summer, I will probably return thence, to that hybrid of the subway system and the United .Nations, and while earning dubviously honest monies, take courses . . . "What ever became of Haskell? Bobbie at Bucknell? Clem with out McFarland. What ever became of New Year's day? Drunk again, eh . . .?" Udo Gengenbach, who is now busy in the University of Heidel berg, wrote back in the fall: "I am very glad that you all got back to dear old Guilford and that Bill made the dental school ... As I see, not much has chang ed at college, we are still losing football games en masse but I sure hope we can make out better in the future games . . . "I myself had a very nice trip back to Europe except the last part from Brussels to Frankford which was a bit rough. But it didn't last long and as soon as X was out of the plane at Frankfort Airport I felt all right again . . . "I tried hard to get acquainted again with German life; it isn't very easy always, so much is differ ent . . ." We hope you enjoyed sharing our mail with us. Other people we've heard from are Barbara MacFarland, Howard Davis, Fred Sughayyar, and others, but space limits us to these few lines. of the bride's grandfather, Charles A. Bell. Rev. E. W.

March 7, 1952 Walter Warren Has Productive Hobby All of us know Walter Warren as an unassuming, almost shy man pushing his big brush along the corridors of King Hall, but few of us realize the contribution this man, three times a grandfather, has made to the life of his com munity. For Walter Warren, no less surely than the titled professors who people King Hall, is a molder of tomorrow's citizens. He was born at Oak ridge in 1899, the son of James and Daisy Crutchfield Warren. His father went blind shortly after the boy was born. Five years later, when Walter's mother died, his grand parents took the family to Good will, a small community on the edge of Forsyth county. While there, Walter received his formal education in the one room school. When he was eight years old, he went to work for twenty cents a day to help support the family. At twelve, he was brought back to Oak Ridge, and at four- •■****& ;•- v \ x r l•. * i.* v* 1 i WALTER WARREN teen he went to work in Frank Linville's livery stable. He stayed sixteen years. After a series of other jobs in cluding three years in a West Virginia coal mine, he came to Guilford in 1946. He had also ac quired a family, having married the former Rosie Dilworth of Winston in 1928. They have three children, two girls and a boy, and three small grandchildren. The family still centers around the small farm on Station Road, bought about the time Walter came to Guilford. The vigorous life of his youth still had appeal for Walter at fifty, however, and he soon became in terested in a sandlot ball team in the community. After a while he began taking the boys for over night camping trips, and soon he had organized a scout troop from the litle band. It was too big a burden for one man, but the community leaders had a willing ear for his cause. Soon the Methodist churches at Rayleigh's Crossroad and Persim mon Grove and the Baptist church at Reynolds Chapel were behind the move, and Troop 59 of the Greensboro Council began to take shape. The group now numbers thirty, with twenty active members as its hard core. Working with assistant scoutmaster Monroe Gilwreath, Walter now has two patrols, the young boys and a crack patrol of twelve explorers. Walter, who has three years of leadership training (at A&T Col lege) and experience behind him, devotes much of his time to the younger boys, teaching them the basic arts of rope work, first aid, forestry and woodwork. He has almost all of the younger boys, too. "As soon as a boy gets old enough, I nab him," Walter grins. "A boy's a boy, but he's like a mule. He's got to have recrea tion, and he's got to be trained." His pupils sometimes surpass their teacher, so thoroughly do they apply their training. The original troop has advanced rapidly in its four years. The army got one boy, but the twelve re maining have risen to explorer, with one candidate for Eagle. They even had a representative at the Valley Forge Camporee two years ago, and the troop has taken two successive A Patrol (best) ratings in summer camp at Camp Carson. The community at large helps finance the boys, who pay much (Continued on Page Four)
