4 ALUMNI NOTES. Miss Emma G. King. 'Ol, who has for several years been a mem ber of the faculty of the Normal College in Greensboro, has this year been given the oversight ot the girls, which capacity she is tilling, we understand, very satis factorily. Mr. W. Ernest Younts, 'OB, is again principal of Bessemer High School, a position which he has very creditably held for three years. His address is Greensboro, N. C., Route No. 2. Mr. J. Gurney Briggs, 'll, is not only engaged in conducting a real estate business in High Point bul also finds time for some work along musical lines. We under stand that Mr. Briggs has recent ly been elected organist for the Wesley Memorial church, which is one of the leading High Point houses of worship. .Miss Flora White, 'll, who did some special work in chemistry here last fall, is now an assistant in the chemistry department of the Normal College. It is of in terest to note that .Miss White is working under a Guilfordian. Miss Mary Petty, who has charge of the chemistry at the Normal. Miss Petty is also, as most Guilford inns know, a member of the ad visory board of Guilford College. It is with sorrow that we not: the death of Mr, W. R. Moore, who succumbed at his home at Guilford last Tuesday, March 9th. alter a second stroke of paralysis. Mr. Moore is survived by 'nis wife, one daughter, Mrs. F. 10. Morton, of Durham, and two sons, Messrs L. W. Moore, of the Moore Real Estate Co., of Wilmington, N. C., and Mr. A. K. Moore, Ml, who is associated with the Guilford In surance and Really Co. of Greens boro. The Guilfordian extends its sincere sympathy to the be reaved. Miss Mamie Lamb, 'l2, is in the midst of her second year as a member of the teaching force of Ashboro Graded Schools. Her work is reported to be very satis factory. OLD STUDENTS' NOTES. Mr. John Fox, of Randleman, who was a student here in 11)00 and who while here was a valua ble asset to Guilford's baseball team, has been engaged to aid Mr. Hobbs in developing the Guilford prospectives this spring. Mr. Fox has had quite a bit of experience in college and league ball and is a valuable man in his present posi tion. The effects of his work on the local youngsters is becoming apparent. Mr. James Davis, a student here in 1908-10, is now a member of the Davis construction firm with headquarters in High Point. "Jim" is proving a valuable as sistant to his father in the con tracting business. WEBSTE Rl AN NOTES. The contest for the improve nient medal in the Websterian So ciety is now on. Last Friday night there was only one old man on the debate while the remaining live men on the program were all new. All of them deserve men lion for the good work they are doing. They were Ira Ilinshaw. I>. S. Coltrane, Ralph Vow, Jos. Reddick and \V. A. Jnlian. The question under discussion was: Should the present ship pur chase bill be passed? That il was well debated will be shown by the fact that the affirmative succeed ed in gaining the decision, even though i( did not pass both houses of the legislature at the recent session because of the filibuster in the Senate. Society lias been somewhat in terrupted a few Friday nights past because of basket ball games, etc., but last Friday nigh I almost every member was in his accus tomed place enjoying the speec\es which the presence of so many had encouraged the speakers i, make. Mr. Shorl, as critic, commented on the progress being made by tic society and commended the indi vidual speakers for the iinpr >ve nu-nt they were showing. PHILOMATHEAN NOTES. The interest in Society work is not waning among IMiiloniatheans as was shown on the evening of the 20th when e icli member re sponded to roll call with an orig inal poem. These poems for the most part showed a great deal of thought and originality. At the meeting last Friday evening the following interesting program was rendered: Instrumental Solo. ... Bertha Fox Reading Phoebe Worth Conundrums Vera Olodfelter Solo Carolyn Yates Sketch. O. Henry .Blanche Dixon The Society is to be congratula ted on having secured the follow ing girls to take part in the an nual oratorical contest to be given the latter part of May: Ruth Col trane, Callie Lewis, Maleta Ma con, Floy Lassiter, Totten Moton and Ellen Raiford. Five girls have entered the im provement contest and we expect soon to have some very interest ing debates as all of the girls have shown already that they are inter ested and can debate well. BIBLICAL SEMINAR. At the last meeting of the Bibli cal Seminar, Fowell Mendenhall made an interesting report on the social problems in the rural com munity. The Seminar has devo ted the whole year to a study of the social problems confronting the people today and this was found to be one of the most inter esting. Because of the new method of THE GUILFORDIAN study we are now pursuing there was no discussion at this meeting but .ill took notes and numerous references are to be read before the next meeting at which time the Seminar will thoroughly dis cuss this problem. The attendance at the meeting was good and at the very interest ing meetings planned for the fu ture ;i still larger number should be present. PROF. PARKER VISITS GUILFORD. Prof. R. X. Parker, head of the Biblical Department of Trinity College, spent Sunday at the Col lege and preached two unusually forceful sermons. In the morning he talked about the inevitableness of becoming a Christian. Christ alone lias the words of life, "To whom then will you go?'' In the evening he took his text from Luke's account of .Jesus' ad vice to those who would follow him—"Xo man having put his hand to the plow and looking backward is lit for the kingdom of Cod." Prof. Parker made an earnest plea for his hearers to give their lives unreservedly to the service of the .Master, and then to go on with never-failing confidence that He will direct them aright. His sermons were a real religious treat, and were greatly enjoyed by every one. Mr. (! orge W. Bradshaw ('08), who is now doing graduate work in the University of Xorth Caro lina. spent Saturday and Sunday at the college with friends.
