MIRIAM CUMMIN. Tlie most iiianifest sign (if wisdom is a continued clieeilulness — this is Miriam. Pursuing her way througli a maze (il activities, she always stops to smile and sa hello. An honor roll student, Miriam also acted on the Student Affairs Board, was a memher of the choir and in her last two years captained one of Founder ' s hasketball teams. Hall, she was as enthusiastic over the electrons as over the more serious ((incerns in life. KICHAKD .M ' :i.SON. A haskdecr if we e er saw one. It was Nelson ' s well-timed shots on the floor, and the excellent coaching which he gave his fellow men, that brought triumphs to Old North in the heated Intramural contest. He THE S E ] I O R S GERHARD FRIEDRICH. So much can one man do that does both act and know. Gerhard, besides fulfilling his tasks as a member of the faculty, is a prolific author. Cosmopolitan, ver- satile, with a continental air, his work ranges from the formal research article to the smooth flowing lyric — with pen and ink the master builder. And the material fruits of his laiiors, a listing in Who ' s Who Among Sliidciils in Ameri- can Universities and Colleges. RAOUL KANN. Economics is his line, and he treats the distribution of wealth ( money in these limes ' ?) with as much interest as he does the latest home thoughts from abroad. TOBEY LAITEN. Reams of v.lb.w paper, yards of typewriter ribbon, and an orange to stave off midnight hunger — this is editor-in-chief Tobey putting the latest Guilfordian to bed. Banging the keys to produce frank, timely editorials, per- tinent to all of us, this editor is one whose merits will not pass forgotten in the annals of the Guilford press. She is one of the eleven Guil- fordians recognized by Who ' s Who Among Slii- dents in American Universities and Colleges. JOYCE FRY LINDSAY. Wide eyes, and two eyebrows that reach optimistically for the sky — this is Joyce Fry. A fountain of vitality, bubbling over in physics lab as well as in Founders is the definiti lent sport. of a sood athlete and an excel- HERBERT PEARSON. To opponents of Guil- ford ' s football team. Herb is well known as the heavy, blonde, hard-charging fullback. His in- tense interest in Mrs. Milner ' s psychology classes has proved a great asset in making his gift of gab more appealing to Guilford coeds. Herb has been off cam]nis sn mmh during the current school year thai lie will b ' n-memliered as Day Hop Pearson. HAZEL SHARP. Imm-sled in languages and history. Hazel majored in English and partici- pated in French, history and commercial clubs. Along a different line, this little brown- haired lady earned enough points for sports to gain not onlv her numerals but her Guilford G m her senior year. ANNIE SPENCER. Conversation ' s greatest ally clothed in a perennial smile. And a smile when things go wrong is a virtue, especially in Mary Hobbs ' kitchen, when the stew burns, the stove goes up in smoke, and the ceiling falls in a thundering cloud of dust and plaster. Besides supervising meals, Annie spent much time in walking faculty children — so nmch that she was able to earn 750 points for her letter last fall.
