ALUMNI DAY SCHEDULER FOR
SATURDAY, MAY 30; ED BLAIR
WILL BE GUEST SPEAKER
The 1959 Alumni Day has been
planned for Saturday, May 30. This
occasion will attract former Guil
ford students from all parts of the
state and the country as well. For
these Guilford alumni who return
to see old friends and reacquaint
themselves with the college they
once attended, a busy schedule of
events has been planned. This pro
gram will continue through Sunday
and Monday to include the bacca
laureate and commencement exer
cises.
The college will extend its wel
come by converting the newest
dormitory on campus, English Hall,
into a guest house for the overnight
accommodations for the families.
The purpose of having these over
night accommodations is to en
courage guests, who otherwise
would be unable to stay more than
one day, to remain for the gradua
tion exercises on Monday morning.
It will also provide more time for
visits among the returning alumni
and promote good fellowship. Baby
sitting services will be available for
alumni during the luncheon.
