Library Notes
By Patty Gibbs
Have you ever heard of a flat
faced worm, a traveling button, or
a tail-less kitten? These are only a
few of the topics selected as themes
for books written by Guilford's
first semester students in Children's
Literature. Twenty of these books
have been on display in the library
for the past week. Many students
have stopped to glance at the eye
catching illustrations, and some
have even taken the time to read
the clever stories.
April 16-22 is National Li
brary Week. "For a richer, fuller
life, wake up and read."
The library has recently received
several books which are on the list
of "Notable books of 1960," pub
lished annually by the American
Library Association. These include:
Picture History of the Civil War,
by the editors of American Heri
tage; The Public Years, by Bernard
M. Baruch; A Time in Rome, by
Elizabeth Bowen; Copland on
Music, by Aaron Copland; To
Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee;
The Four Loves, by C. S. Lewis;
Thomas Wolfe, by Elizabeth Now
ell; Robert Frost; the Trial by Ex
istence, by Elizabeth Sargeant; The
Affair, by Sir Charles P. Snow;
The Two Cultures and the Scien
tific Revolution, by Sir Charles
Snow; and Journey Into Summer,
by Edwin W. Teale.

THE GUILFORDIAN
Guilford's Choir
Widely Acclaimed
By Frank Walton
The Guilford College A Cap
pella Choir, acclaimed as one of
the South's leading choral organiza
tions, has a long and colorful his
tory.
The choir was organized in 1928,
for the purpose of studying and
performing, without accompani
ment, the best church music of all
periods. (A Cappella means "with
out instrumental accompaniment.")
During its thirty-three years of ex
istence, the choir has toured most
of the states east of the Mississippi
and has presented many concerts
locally, some over radio and tele
vision.
The A Cappella Choir is open to
all Guilford students. At present,
its membership numbers only for
ty, about half that of a few years
ago. Despite its comparatively
small size, however, the choir is
now enjoying one of its best years.
Leadership
One of the big reasons for the
choir's success is the excellence of
its leadership. Carl Baumbach has
been directing the choir since 1950,
and in this time he has won the
respect and admiration of the
group.
Mr. Baumbach received his early
training at the Conservatory of
Music in Kassel, Germany. From
there, he went to the Eastman
School of Music at Bochester, New
York, where he received the de
grees of Bachelor of Music and
Master of Music and completed his
residence work toward a Ph.D.
He has served on the faculties of
the Eastman School of Music in
Bochester, the George Peabody
College for Teachers in Nashville,
and Greensborp College.
Ken White, president of the
choir, has expressed the hope that
more students will join the group
next year, helping to replace those
choir members who will be gradu
ating next month. There is always
room for those who want to be a
part of this fine organization.
Quaker Delivery Date
The delivery date for Guilford's
1961 Quaker has been tentatively
set for May 13, editor Helen
Brown recently announced. Final
proofing will be done within the
next few weeks.
