zation, followed on Saturday by
the annual "Coming Out Ball."
On Oct. Ist, Kevin Jen
Andrea Gerlak has re
placed the retiring Eric Stoesen
as the faculty adviser to the
Websterian Pre-Law society.
The pre-law society is the orga
nization on campus for
Guilford's future lawyers.
Members participate in a
broad range of activities, not
only to prepare for law school,
but also to "experience the full f
spectrum of the legal world,"
said the society's president,
Jennifer French.
Most of their activities are
geared towards law school
preparation. They take field
trips to law schools where they
talk to admissions people and
sit in on classes. Gerlak says
this is "the most useful part of
the club."
Another advantage of be- I

by Guilford students
Kelly White, Beverly
Stocks, Ben Newlin,

Melody Watson.
According to Susie Clark, Pro
fessor of Photography at Guilford,

ited wall space in the Gallery, not
all the photos submitted are dis
played.
Kelly White's six silver
gelatin prints include a piece
depicting a dim silhouette of
a face superimposed over a
shot of beach and ocean. Susie
Clark remarked that, "Kelly
took a fine arts approach to
her interest in the coast." Her
work has a quiet stillness to
it, a subtle beauty that reso
nates effectively in black
and white.
Beverly Stocks has three
prints displayed. Her subject
is a child, two-year old Mary
Francis. Mary appears in one to be
examining leaves; in another she
plays on a rock. The the third and
most striking photograph of the set;
Mary's face is covered with tears.
