weekend

The weather was perfect
for Homecoming weekend, and
folks all over campus emerged
from their rooms, Bauman,
and the library to check out the
festivities, joining returning
alumni.
Arlo Guthrie was a big hit
on Friday night, drawing a
crowd of people from all over
the area. "He was hilarious,
both through his songs and his
story-telling," said senior Rise
Hunter. "'Alice's Restaurant'
was really good."
"The best part was his
scathing remarks about
outsourcing and the downfall
of Guilford," added alumnus
Ben Newlin.
The warm and sunny tem

noon brought many people to
the football game, though oth

team play their last home
game. "I was surprised at how
many people turned out for the
football game," commented se
nior Kelly White. "I also
thought it was great that we
had a band."
Alumni athletes were in

and men's lacrosse games. Sen
ate members scrambled around
campus in attempts to sell
Homecoming T-shirts and
glow-in-the-dark-cups to
Guilford fans.

Guilford students piled into
vans or cars and drove to the
Millennium Center in Win
ston-Salem for the Pre-Millen
nium party put on by Adam
Gillis. The party had been
talked about and highly antici

had a good time. The music
was awesome and everyone
seemed to be in good spirits
that night," said senior Rob
Somera.
Sophomore Sara Nees

Some people carry them
selves in an aura of love and kind
ness, leaving their mark behind
them wherever they go. Asked to
write a story on one such person
this week, I interviewed many,
only to be met by a collage of
smiles, tears, and stories. Almost
all stories started the same way,
