Dr. Campbell To
Take Trip Abroad
The time has just about ar- j
rived for Dr. Eva Campbell to
take her long awaited trip to Eu
rope. This trip began to material
ize just about a year ago when at
the annual alumni banquet Dr.
Campbell was told that all of
her "graduate family" had con- j
tributed to make possible a trip
abroad.
As plans stand now, Dr. Camp
bell will leave on Wednesday, i
June 1, 1955 for Europe. She plans |
to sail on the Ryndam, leaving
from New York.
Dr. Campbell will be met in j
Rotterdam by Dick Staley, a for- J
mer Guilford student and recipi
ent of a Fulbright Scholarship.
Bill Yates, also a Guilford gradu- J
ate, now serving with the United {
States Army, will meet them in j
Stuttgarde. All of them will then >
proceed to Zurich, Switzerland.
After her reunion with these |
former Guilford graduates, she
will go to Italy for a visit with
friends. She plans to spend a
month there. She then plans to
go to France for three weeks.
Dr. Campbell will end her vaca
tion with a visit to England and j
Scotland.
This is a very fitting tribute |
to the senior member of our fac- J
ulty and we wish her a grand trip.
GUILFORD COLLEGE, FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1955
Gene Gray Awarded
Graduate Assistantship
Gene Gray, a member of this
year's senior class, and an out
standing student of chemistry, has
been awarded a graduate assist
antship to Clemson College. It
should be mentioned here, that
he was also offered two other
graduate assistantships; one for
graduate study at the University
of North Carolina and the other
for continued study at the Uni
versity of Tennessee.
Gene and his wife Rebecca
decided, after much thought, that
the award to Clemson would be
the most suitable. He will try to
complete his work for a masters
degree during the two years he
will study there.
While at Clemson, he will be in
charge of three freshmen chemis
try labs along with the job of
checking the roll for his own class
in general chemistry.
Gene has not decided for sure
what he will do after he obtains
his masters degree. He may go
ahead and prepare for a Ph.D.
degree or he may go into industry
or teaching. Whatever he decides,
we wish him the best of luck and
at the same time extend our con
gratulations to Gene.
Nay Day Celebration
Is Successful
May Day, in its usual glorious
pageantry, reigned supreme in
thought and action on May 7th.
The green was transformed into a
reunion of the nations who sent
representative dances to perform
for Her Majesty.
Queen Edith Meyers, escorted
by Jim Vogel, had for her Maid of
Honor, Bonnie Ferrell, escorted by
Howard Waynick. Other members
of the court and their escorts
were: Marty Burton, Bob Padgett;
Ruth Dobbins, Claude Ivey; Ma
rion Gravitt, Fred Jones; Janet
Jay, Nick Guerere; Marjorie Jen
kins, Keith Roberts; Phyllis Red
man, Bill Jarvis; Kathleen Shu
maker, Chester Baker, and Trilby
Tucker, Bobby Wall.
The stately little David Neil
Stafford was crown-bearer, and
the petite Linda Meredith was
flower girl.
Of course, the day was complet
ed by the annual dance. Holland
welcomed all the guests with the
tulip fields, and the turning wind
mills.
Appreciation tokens cannot ex
press the gratitude to all those
who cooperated so graciously. Our
suecial thanks to Margaret Anne
White, May Day Chairman, and to
Rachel Richardson, Dance Chair
man.
Chapel Programs
Planned By Seniors
Beginning Monday, with the ob
servation of Senior Week, we take
the final step in honoring the sen
iors, short of the commencement
itself. The main features of this
week are two chapel programs
planned by the seniors. These
chapel programs will present
us with our first chance to see
the seniors in their caps and gowns
as they will be in full graduating
attire for both programs. The
Monday chapel program is to be
of a serious nature while the Wed
nesday chapel program will be on
the lighter side.
Monday's program will consist
of speeches of appreciation of the
seniors by the freshmen, sopho
more and junior class presidents.
On the following Wednesday, the
seniors will present a play depicit
ing some of the outstanding hap
penings during their four years in
college. There will be approxi
mately sixteen persons in the play
with Don Percise, Marty Burton,
Betty Humble, John Church, Ra
chel Grogan, Neva and Reva Wat
son, Trilby Tucker and Andy
Bristow holding some of the most
important roles.
These chapel programs will be
interesting as well as entertaining
and will present us with an ideal
opportunity to show our apprec
iation to the members of the sen
ior class.
