4 ALUMNI NOTES. Miss Gertrude H. Spray, 'lO, writes us to the e tie el that slie has been teaching music at Canton for the past two years. At the same time .Miss Spray has been taking special work at the Asheville School of Musical Arts. Miss Spray has a good word for the (Juilfordian as a means of keeping the Alumni in closer touch with the college and thereby stimula ting a more active interest in the welfare of Giilford. Miss Adna Lamb, 'l-. who has been teaching at Farmer, X. C„ during the past year, and Miss Anna Davis, 'l3, a member of the Gatesville High School teaching force, are both at home here for the summer. * Mr. Fred Henley, 'l4, who is the assistant in the chemical labora tory at Haverford College, has been reelected to the same posi tion for the next year. Several (Juilfordians are now playing league ball in various lo calities. Prominent among them are the following: Ernest (J. Shore, "14. is again with the Bos ton lied Sox, and is one of the mainstays en Carrigan's pitching force; W. G. Lindsay is playing his usual consistent game at third base with the Oakland club in the Pacific Goast League; E. H. Mc- Bane, "14, is with Greensboro in the Carolina, circuit; while Luther Stuart and George Moorefield, for mer Guilford students, are with Winston. Ralph Stuart, another Guilford product. Is playing with Columbia, S. C. Miss Alma Crutchfield, 'l4, who has been teaching near Mt. Airy, is now at 1 dine at Guilford. GUILFORD GRADED SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT. On Friday night. May 7, the stu dents of the ninth and tenth grades rendered a very interest ing program. Norman Fox, of the ninth grade, recited a moaoioguo. '•The Fate of a Flirt," and did so with credit to himself. After this the class in Spanish composed of twentv-fovr hoys and &irls, sang a Spanish song. The class, under ;he care of the principal, Joseph M. J'nrdie, has done excellent work during the past seven months of the school. So mucL so that some of the students are able to understand a conversation fair ly well. After this came the play, "What's Next?'' The amateur ac tors did well in this considering the time they had as well as the experience 111 such work. Admis sion was charged, as the play was gien for the benefit of the Graded School library. In all the amount of #48.85 was collected. At half { a.' t ten in the morn'ng of Saturday, May 8, the children of the lower grades went over their program much to the credit of their teachers. The recitations, songs and plays were good. "Mother Nature's Party," "The Little Quakeresses'' drill, the play, "The Train to Mauro," were esjie cially good. In the afternoon the graduating class took the stage. Three mem bers of the class spoke as represen tatives of the class of eight mem bers: Eleanor Grantham, on "The Heroes of Obscurity;" Ilenrv Huf tines on "Inventors and Inven tions," and Lois Coggins on "The Influence of Music." The princi pal, in behalf of the Calhoun L:i erarv Society of the Graded School, gave the improvement prize to Pearl Highfill. He an nounced that the Guilford College scholarship this year was won by Eleanor Grantham. The girl* in the class in S] anish sang in that language, "Let the Lower Lights Ie Burning." After this Dr. L. L. Hobbs delivered the diplomas to the different members of the class He then read the, treasurer's report, which was very interesting as it brought out the many improvements which have been done during the year. Professor Geiser, of Guilford College, delivered an address on "The High School and the Com munity." He noted the rapi l in crease in the number of high schools within the past decade, and compared the modern high school course of study favorably with the college course of fifty years ago. He pleaded for a halt to be called on the so-called "pre gressive" tendencies in education, which would turn our high schools into agricultural colleges and mil linery and cooking shops, and would give to the students a nar row, one-sided view of life, instead of a wide and sympathetic out look. To get along with one's self —not to make a living, is the true ideal of education. The greatest need of the present day is the cul tivation of pure and thorough-go ing scholarship. And for such a school he pleaded for whole hearr ed co-operation on the part of the whole community. Prof. Geiser's address was logi cal, solid and interesting. The principal is very thankful to the College for the use of Me morial Hall. THE REV. C. M. SHORT AT GUILFORD. Rev. C. M. Short, pastor of rooleemee M. E. Church, a gradu ate of Guilford in the class of 1903, conducted the services at the college on Sunday. In the morn ing ho preached an effective ser mon on the Humanity of Christ, emphasizing Christ's attitude on social and humanitarian prob lems. The great work of the church is to see into the needs of THE GUILFORDIAN humanity iind minister to them, lie declared that the clnii'ch should take an interest in the ma terial well being of man as well as in the spiritual. He spoke feel ingly of the influence of Onilford on his own life. The subject of his evening dis course were the words of Christ— "Follow me." lie asserted that we should follow Christ because He is worthy of our highest al legiance and because we need His strengthening power. In conclu sion he pointed out that Christ needed the entire man and we must follow whole-heartedly. Guilford was indeed glad to have one of her sons pay her such an inspiring and uplifting visit.
