Sitting in third-floor window- less, classrooms the day the air-conditioning died and it was at least 1000 . .. Getting up at seven a.m. in order to be downtown for an eight o'clock class. . . This was how last summer went for Kathie Easter and Barbara Horney when they attended the Greens- boro Tri-College Consortium at Greensboro College. As representatives of Guilford College, they attended classes from early June through the middle of August. Knowing that they would get college credit for their courses, they chose them carefully. Kathie, who is planning to major in French, took two courses in that language. Barbara took two courses in German and a political science course in American political systems.

the Student Body Pam Siler, Wanda Cummings, Margaret Lancaster, Gwen Goins Paul Blust, John Hanner Tim Butler, Paul Blust, Jim Brannon Wildacres Four students, all members of the Civinettes, at- tended the Wildacres Conference last June. Wanda Cummings, Gwen Goins, Margaret Lancaster, and Pam Siler participated in a week of seminars concern- ing problems of the community. They discussed world problems, religion, race, and relationships be- tween students, teachers, and parents. The purpose of the conference was to help students find answers to questions and problems relating to their community. Boys' State Two senior boys - Paul Blust and John Hanner - represented Western Guilford at Boys' State last June. The purpose of this conference, held on the campus of Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, is to acquaint high school students with the state govern- ment. Paul and John participated in discussions and conferences to gain a greater understanding of our governmental processes. Morehead Nominees This year, three members of the senior class were nominated for the John M. Morehead Scholarship at the University of North Carolina. Selected were Jim Brannon, Tim Butler, and Paul Blust. Nominees are chosen on the basis of scholastic ability, athletic participation, and the qualities of courage, honor, and devotion to duty. The winner of a Morehead Award would be an asset to the student body of any college.
