WAA to Sponsor
Dance; Sultans
Will Play
Tomorrow night the Royal Sul
tans Orchestra of Winston-Salem
will furnish music in the Gymnasi
um for the annual. Homecoming
Dance, sponsored by the Women's
Athletic Association. The eight
piece group and its vocalist, direct
ed by Bernard T. Foy, will render
special arrangements for dancing
from eight o'clock until eleven
thirty.
The semi-formal dance, which
will climax a full day of Home
coming festivities, is free to all stu
dents, faculty, alumni, and friends.
It is a "no flower" dance.
Immediately preceding intermis
sion will occur the figure and the
presentation of the 1957 Homecom
ing Queen, her court, and their es
corts. Bob Marsh will act as mas
ter of ceremonies for this special
feature.
The decorations committee,
headed by Anne Cox and Becke
Blackwell, has planned to use a
harvest decorating motif. A large
artificial bonfire will be used as
centerpiece for the dance floor, and
the backdrop for the bandstand
will picture a fall scene. Pumpkins,
cornstalks, harvest vegetables, and
orange and black crepe paper
streamers will surround the edges
of the dance area and complete the
decorating scheme.
Punch and cookies will be served
as refreshments during intermis
sion. Centerpiece for the refresh
ment table will be a horn of plenty
filled with vegetables and fruits
and surrounded by autumn leaves.
Carol Mcßane and Mary Cashwell
are in charge of this area.
A receiving line, headed by Ruth
Anne Hammond, WAA President,
will greet the guests at the door.
Included in the line will be: Dr.

Heterogeneous Group Makes
Up Guilford Student Body
The South has long been noted
for its hospitality, and Guilford Col

Guilford's enrollment will confirm
that statement if a heterogeneous

lands. Five of these are from Cuba;
one each from England, France,
India, Iraq, Jordan, Japan, Sweden,
Viet-Nam, and Guatamala; two

one from Maine, four each from
Maryland and Massachusetts, one

sey, twenty-three from New York,
four from Ohio, eighteen from
Pennsylvania, two from Rhode Is
land, two from South Carolina,
five from Tennessee, twenty-nine
from Virginia, and one from Wis
consin—all of these and five hun
dred seven from North Carolina.
From the standpoint of religious
affiliations, Guilford has as wide a
variety of faith represented as it
has hometowns; Baptist, Brethren,
Buddhist, Catholic, Episcopalian,
Greek Orthodox, Holiness, Latter
Day Saints, Lutheran, Methodist,
Presbyterian, Nazarene, Union
Church, Christian, Christian Sci-

"Denny" Elected Queen
The Alchemist Named
As Fall Production
The Reveler's Club, under the
direction of Mr. Donald Deagon,
has started plans and activities for
this year with the selection of its
fall play production—"The Alche
mist" by Ben Jonson. This was an
nounced at the first meeting of the
organization in the Auditorium on
September 30. The purpose of the
meeting was to introduce the new
students to the club activities, to
stimulate interest, and to discuss
plans for the fall term.
"The Alchemist" will be pro
duced in modern dress and setting.
The setting will be something new
to Guilford—a setting that is
abstract and representative of ac
tual construction. The tentative
dates for try-outs will be October
17 and 18, and the performances
are planned for November 21, 22,
and 23.
Besides this experimental pro
duction, the Reveler's Club plans
to have new lighting equipment for
the Auditorium. This has been
made possible by the club's in
creased allocation from the Stu
dent Affairs Board and excess
money left in the club treasury
from last year.
The administrating group of the
club include; Eileen Murray, pres
ident; Susan Walter, secretary;
Dale Embich, vice-president and
treasurer; Lyndal McFarland, tech
nical chairman; Craven Mackie,
acting department chairman; and
Virginia Honea, costume and make
up chairman. The officers of the
Reveler's Club see this year as the
best year yet for the club, they were
quite pleased with the enthusiastic
spirit at the first meeting.
