GUILFORD COLLEGE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1955
New Members Added
To Guilford's Faculty
With the increase in Guilford's
total enrollment, additions to the
faculty have been necessary. We
feel fortunate in securing the fol
lowing:
Mr. Jackson Burgess who is an
asistant profesor of English and
Director of News Services and
College Publications. Mr. Burgess
received his AB degree from
Chicago University and a Master ot
Fine Arts from the University of
North Carolina. He was previously
employed by the Greensboro News
and Record.
Miss Pauline Grande, who is
part time instructor in women's
physical education. She is a gra
duate student at Woman's College.
Mrs. Marvin Hunt who teaches
classes in beginning Spanish in
the Evening Division and on the
campus. She, received her AB
from Peurto Rico and her AM
from Columbia University.
Mrs. Robert H. Morris who is
director of our Student Union
which we hope will be complete
in the near future. She also is
directing Freshman Chapel and
is assisting in the department of
Psychology.
Miss Ruth Simpson who is col
lege nurse. She has been enrolled
in the Evening Division and is
currently a campus student, work
ing to complete her degree.
Enrollment Sets Record
With the hard work of Charlie
Hendricks, public relation head,
Guilford College is able to report
the largest enrollment that it has
ever had. The only other year that
even compared favorably with this
year's record was the 1948-49 to
tal of 608. This number is quite
a bit below the record 654 from
this year. Out of that 654 total
there are approximately 200
freshmen.
New Cheerleaders Selected
Last week three new cheer
leaders and two alternates were
chosen to Guilford College's pep
squad. Selected from nineteen
hopeful girls were: Anne Hulin,
of High Point; Gertrude Murrow,
from Pleasant Garden; and Clau
dette Belton, of Winston-Salem.
Emily Howell, from Goldsboro,
and "Happy" Hurst, of Roanoke
Rapids, are alternates.
Betsy Marklin, from Chester,
Pa., is head of the 1955-56 cheer
ing squad. Also back from last
year are Carolyn Newlin, of Bur
lington; Lila Ann Tice, from
Greensboro; Ann Rae Thomas,
from Walnut Cove; and Bob Isko
witz, the only boy on the squad,
who hails from Brooklyn, N. Y.
This year a pep band has been
organized to assist the cheerlead
ers at pep rallies and games. The
band seems to give school spirit
a much-needed boost.
Football Game, Dance
To Feature Activities
Homecoming will get under way
ut 2:30 o'clock when Guilford's
gridiron squad meets Hampton-
Sydney on Hobbs Field. At half
time the queen's float will be pre
sented and Miss Thelma Buckner,
the 1954-55 Homecoming Queen,
will crown the 1955 Queen.
Following the game, a large
barbecue supper will be held in
Founder's new cafeteria for all
students, returning alumni, and
visitors. Tickets for the supper
are SI.OO per person.
At 8:30 tomorrow night the last
phase of homecoming will begin
as Harold Gayle's Band plays for
the annual homecoming dance in
the gym. This dance is semi
formal and free of charge.
Under the direction of the Wom
en's Athletic Association and Miss
Rachel Richardson, dance chair
man, the gym will be decorated in
correspondence with the theme
"Welcome Back, Alumni." Miss
Margaret Ann White has charge
of the dance figure in which the
queen's court will participate just
before intermission.
This year instead of decorating
floats for homecomnig, the dormi
tories have directed all artistic ef
forts toward dormitory decora
tions. A trophy will be awarded
to the best-decorated dormitory.
It is hoped that all students will
co-operate and support these plans
in anticipation of the largest and
finest homecoming Guilford Col
lege has ever witnessed.
