Homecoming Slated As Smash Weekend

              Homecoming Slated As Smash Weekend
by Cheryl Sprinkle
It's Homecoming time again at
Guilford College. Students are at
this moment running around madly, making last-minute touches on
floats to be entered in tomorrow's
competition. Everyone is praying
for a victory over Presbyterian. Of
course, the big question in everyone's mind is, "Who will be the
Homecoming Queen?"
Homecoming Court
From the fifteen girls originally
nominated as homecoming representatives, five were elected at the
October 14 assembly to be on the
66-67 Homecoming court. These
girls are and will be seen in the
parade on Saturday before the
game. The queen has been chosen
from  the  five  representatives  by
THETAMS
student vote, and her name will be
revealed at the game halftime.
Dance Friday Night
Although the offical homecoming
actvities will not begin until Saturday, one of the biggest events will
take place tonght. The Social Committee has contracted not one, but
three combos, to entertain at a
dance to be held in Founders basement from eight to twelve. The
Tams, from Atlanta, Georgia, are
the number one entertaining group
in North Carolina, South Carolina,
and Virginia. During their terrific
dance routine, the Tams will do
their hits, such as "Stay" and "May
12" The Jokers' own Fabulous Five
will also be on hand to keep things
moving. The Five will be singing
the favorite hit, "Jukebox," plus all
the old standards. A relatively new
female group, the Daydreams, will
make its Guilford debut tonight.
The Daydreams have done shows
in Greensboro all summer, and
have been acclaimed for their Motown style.
Saturday Pre-Game Activities
The schedule for Saturday morning begins with an Open House in
the new Administration Building
(New Garden Hall). Beginning at
ten o'clock, interested persons are
invited to see this new addition to
Guilford's campus.
Dorm decorations will be viewed
and judged from ten until noon.
Robin Tyler and Jean Parker, co-
chairmen of the Special Events
Committee, have secured three impartial judges from Quaker Village.
Mr. Lee, the head of our cafeteria, has planned an informal
lunch for Guilford students, parents, faculty, and alumni. Weather
permitting, this luncheon will be
held outside.
The annual homecoming parade
starts at approximately one o'clock
and will be conducted through the
business section of Guilford College. Units include parade officials,
dignitaries, school beauties, floats,
marching bands, and cheerleaders.
Zach Lowe is the parade marshal.
Dr. and Mrs. Hobbs will ride in
the parade, as will Mr. John Haworth, president of the Alumni Association, and his wife. The five
homecoming queen candidates will
be in the parade, along with Dottie
Alley, last year's queen. Floats will
be entered by all women's and
men's dorms, day students, and the
downtown campus. The Northeast
Guilford High School Band and
Dr. Hood's Bagpipers will furnish
the music. Cars are to be furnished
by Black Cadillac-Olds Company.
The Game
Game time between the Quakers
and the Blue Hose is two o'clock
at Armfield Stadium. A crowd of
5,000 is expected. The Northeast
Guilford High School Band will
open the game with the National
Anthem. At halftime, President
Hobbs will give the welcoming address, to which John Haworth will
respond. The winning float will be
displayed, and our new Homecoming Queen wll be crowned by Dot-
tie Alley, while the Northeast band
plays. Bill Hurt will be the announcer for the halftime activities,
which were planned by Patti Thomas and Robert Hussey.
