sembly at 10:20 this morning.
Mr. Spicer, a New York baritone,

"Land of Evangeline." As a boy he
sang in the local church choir, and
at college he studied voice, piano,
organ, and sang in the glee club
and the college quartet and played
bass viol in the college orchestra.
Later he studied in both New York
and London.
Unlike most ballad singers, Earle
Spicer is a thoroughly trained con

tinguished symphony and oratorio
conductors as Sir Henry Wood, Sir
Adrian Boult, Fritz Riener, Albert

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., APRIL 10, 1959
he was a feature soloist on one of
the leading NBC programs with
Donald Voorhees and his orches
tra.
While a student in London, Mr.
Spicer became interested in ballads
and folksongs and made a collec
tion just as a hobby. The music
critics of New York, Boston, and
London were so impressed by his
work in this field that they sug
gested he specialize in the singing
of ballads. Thus, the hobby has be
come a profession.
Earle Spicer is a singer of manly
voice, magnetic personality, down
to-earth informal manner and good
sense of humor. He is considered
the most "re-engaged singer by
colleges today."
His program for tonight, when
he will be assisted by several Guil
ford students in the performance of
one or two numbers, consists of
traditional English Ballads; "The
Rich Old Woman," "The Golden
Vanity," "The Ardent Fisherman,"
"Barbara Allen," "Lord Randel,"
and "Because I Were Shy," and
American ballads and folksongs

New Committee
Publishes "B" List
The WSG organized a Scholar
ship Committee last year for the
purpose of stimulating interest in
better grades among the women
students of Guilford College.
There are four members of this
committee, headed by Clara Mont
gomery, vice-president of the WSG
for this past year. They are: Julie
Trimble, Ginnette Bourdereau, Co
reen Case, and Anne Taylor. The
committee gives recognition to all
the women students who have a
2.00 average, but not quite high
enough for the honor roll, by pub
lishing a list of these students every
semester.
They also computed the average
of all the women students, lay
classes. These averages are as fol
lows: 26 seniors had a 1.87 average
at the end of the first semester, 21
juniors had a 2.00 average, 64
sophomores had a 1.55 average,
and 81 freshmen had a 1.18 aver
age. Since this system is a new one,
no previous studies have been
made but at the end of the second
semester more averages will be
computed, and a comparison will
be made to find the trend of aver
ages of the women students both
on and off campus.
At the end of the first semester,
53 women students had a "B" av
erage or better, with 14 making
honor roll grades.
