Senior Class Hardy Carroll Pn ' sideni Lee Stackhouse Vice-F csiileni Gene Peace Secretary Anne Stabler Treasurer The Class of ' 51 ! Just a look at ihe calendar makes us blink and gape in amazement that four years could hav e passed so fast. In 1947, the year 19.S1 seemed about as imminent as the Day of Judgment to the young selected crea- tures who bore the contemptible name of Freshmen. Yes, time flies. . . . But who savs we haven ' t had fun? I low could we forget — the cnnfusinii : the Arab- Zionist battles, the cow in Founders, the liurn- ing of the barn, the Hanes game in 4!! or the Emory-Henry upset in 19.50 ... all this and academic work too . . . the corpse curriculum : that Paineful freshman year. Sir Stafford ' s crips. Dr. Furnas ' s story hour. Mrs. Milner ' s room full of pictures, Pete the seminomad. Burrow ' s bull sessions, and Mr. Feagin ' s sheer, undifferentiated nothingness ' . . . coupled with o er 25(1 chajjels . . . and at least we look like we krniw some facts. Dignified, confident, self-reliant seniors who realize their responsibility as citizens will meet their call to the work of the world. Yes. hut underneath that academic robe are quaking knees — knees that warn us that this world is old and cruel. Each of us has his fear: Uncle Sam . . . the infantrv ... a room full of school chil- dren . . . heartless graduate teachers . . . but each also has nostalgia in his heart and a lump in his throat as he realizes that Guilford has given him the best years of his life. 23
