Practice Teachers Stay Busy p. 2 Volume XLV Rehearsal Begins on "The Scarecrow" She is not an ordinary witch; she is vindictive. Why? Because the now reputable Justice Merton has shamed her (although in their youth they had an affair, the prod uct of which was an illegitimate child.) This is the setting for the Revel er's Club Spring production, The Scarecrow, by Percy Mackay, to be presented March 10 and 11. The play opens in the witch's den where the witch, Goody Ricky (Evelyn Westphal) and her con frere, Dickon (Stuart Lennox, the Devil incarnate) are making a scarecrow. Rachel Merton (Jamie Mathews), who is the Justice's niece and "highly superstitious" soon enters the house to buy a "Mirror of Truth" which is sup posed to reveal the true character of people. Later Rachel is reprimanded by her betrothed, Squire Richard Tal bot (John Huffman), for believing in such foolishness. When Justice Merton learns of his niece's pur chase, he admonishes Goody Rick by, "You shall hang!" The witch then warns him that she might re veal their past. And in order to avenge the Justice's threats, the witch and the Devil promptly cre ate a man from the scarecrow who Calendar Feb. 24—10:00 a.m.-3:30 p.m., Red Cross Bloodmobile 8:00 p.m., Mr. Philip Weaver to speak in College Union Mar. 6 —7:00 p.m., IRC Meeting in Union 7—7:00 p.m., FTA Meeting in Union 7:00 p.m., SCA Meeting in Hut 9 —7:30 p.m., SAB Meeting in Lounge Attention: All Red-Blooded Guilfordians Guilford Blood to Flow Tomorrow for Red Cross The following is an excerpt from an article written for the Winston- Salem, Journal by Margaret Ha worth. I was convinced that I had step ped into a modern-day vampire initiation ceremony when I crossed the threshold of the Red Cross bloodmobile. They were out to get my blood and I wasn't completely convinced that I didn't want to hang onto some of it for myself. Why was I there preparing to give up part of my All-American vital red blood? But I didn't have much time to think about it. Whisk! I was taken under tow by a kind little blood-taker otherwise known as a Gray Lady and shown to a seat in the line-up. First Impression With a skeptical eye I glanced around the room to get a first im pression. Everything seemed to be neatness, order and precision. No one was shouting, no one was flus tered, and everyone knew exactly what his job was and he was doing it. By the time my turn came to sign up, I was seeing myself as a heroine ready to give my life blood to a good cause. A medical check-up was the next The Quilfor^ion Published by the Students of the Souths Only Quaker College will seek the hand of Mistress Ra chel. Lord Ravensband (Michael Keyes), as the hollow man is call ed, is disguised as a Count and succeeds in impressing Rachel tem porarily. But of course, truth and good triumph. All' ends well.

Registrar Resigns Post, Enters Duke Guilford's registrar, Bill Lee Yates, has recently resigned to enter the Hospital Administration prog ra m of Duke Hospital. ST \ Mr. Yates, who as registrar. His study at Duke will last for a two year period, terminating in an as signment as administrator of a hospital. In a recent interview the former registrar reported, "This is some thing I've had in mind for a long time. The opportunity came, and I took it. I'm extremely glad I did, for the work is fascinating, and, while I miss Guilford a great deal, I'm very happy in my work here." item in line after registration. Plop! The thermometer was into my mouth. Then it was out and my pulse was being timed. After being convinced that my temperature was normal and that I definitely had a pulse, I was relayed to the blood pressure nurse. Puff, puff, wheeze. That test I passed success fully. I was beginning to feel healthy again . . . until I came to the blood-testing station. Blue Fluid Little bottles of a strange blue fluid were sitting on a tray. At first I felt weak, for I feared that this was some poor soul's own blood that he had donated to the cause. After all, everyone has heard of "blue" babies. I was relieved when the nurse pricked my finger and explained that if my drop of blood sank, it was heavy with iron and therefore my hemoglobin level was fine. I began to feel worthwhile again because this was the first sign of blood I'd seen since I got there. My curiosity was beginning to rise, and I kept trying to peer around the little curtains into the actual blood-giving area. All the healthy blood donors go there, and I wanted to follow.

Only those in good physical condition go through ... By the time you get through the processing line, you feel like the health queen for the year. Physically Fit I was now deemed physically fit to be passed behind the screens to the blood donors' guild. While I waited the nurse explained that there really isn't anything to this blood-giving business. "After all," she explained, "you have an extra pint of blood in you floating around doing nothing except wait ing for you to cut your finger. "It only takes 24 hours to regain the pint of blood you lost." And then I was ready to give my blood. A needle was inserted just below the bend of my elbow. Then all I had to do was relax and squeeze a little rubber rod until my pint was full. It was so simple that I almost felt guilty when I ate up the re freshments that the Red Cross pro vided afterwards. The only painful part of the whole process was having to tell my weight. lied.

Each delegation will represent a country which is a member of die United Nations. The Guilford group will assume the identity of Cuba, thus taking on the identity of a communistic government. "We feel that the Cuban prob lem may be brought up in the plen ary sessions," said Penny Smith, president of the IRC. "Therefore, we are preparing to defend Cuba and to have arguments prepared for diis as well as the five commit tee topics." In the sub-committees resolu tions will be drawn up and will be presented in two plenary sessions (which correspond to the General Assembly session in the U. N.). They will be debated and then voted on. Dan Raiford will cast Guilford's one vote since he is chairman of the delegation.

All donors will be checked at the cen ter by registered nurses and the physician in charge. No one will be allowed to donate unless found physically able to do so.
