As it has been customary in the
past years to have a series of class
basketball games some time dur
ing the year. Manager Garner, of
the basketball department, at the
advice and instruction of the ath
letic council, lias arranged a series
of class games to be played short
ly after the Thanksgiving holi
days. The Sophomores and Fresh
men will play on Friday, Decem
ber the third, and the Seniors and
Juniors will meet on the next
night, December the fourth. The
two winning teams in the prelim
inary game will meet on Saturday
night, December t lie eleventh, to
determine the class basketball
championship for the year.
It should be borne in mind that
each class must play on the sched
uled date or the game will be for
feited. It should furthermore be
remembered that no class will be
allowed to play a man who does
not have class standing at the
time the game is to be played. Ler
every man who expects to make
his class team get busy now, and
make these class games real and
worth while.
GIRLS' ATHLETICS.
We all know how attractive
new things are to us, so we are
not surprised that volley ball is
just now occupying the chief
place among the many forms of
girls' athletics here at Guilford.
On last Tuesday afternoon every
girl under the control of Miss
White was 011 the volley ball lield
anxious to report in order to be
one of the number who would be
allowed to take part in the new
game. It seemed that they re
membered the old saying that
"practice makes perfect," and
were eager to know if it would lit
their case.
But the girls have not forgotten
what good times can be had in
doors, and 011 Thursday afternoon
one could hear echoing through
both Founders and New Garden
Halls, "Oh, I'm so glad it is rain
ing, we can play in the gym. to
day." When time came for exer
cise there was no objection given
for playing in the gymnasium,
and while there every kind of in
nocent game that could be thought
of was tried, so every one went
home lively and ready for the
night's work.
The manager of the basket ball
has received letters from several

"The Chaperon" is a story of
school life at Crandon H.IU, a
girls' seminary, and the pranks by
which its youthful inmates not in
frequently got themselves into
trouble.
In the first act the scene is the
tennis court at Crandon Hall,
where we are introduced to some
of its pupils and are favored with
their opinions regarding the
French teacher, Mile. Jeanne,
whom the young ladies very disre
spectfully call "Johnny."
The girls are delighted at the
chance to have their fortunes told,
when Miriam, the Gypsy enters,
accompanied by Jill, the little
waif whom she so tenderly loves.
Immediately upon their entrance,
Joyce sees that the old woman is
faint from weariness and want of
food, so she leads her off at once
and provides refreshment for her.
At the beginning of Act II we
And Nora, Mrs. Dynecourt's Irish
maid, in an artist's studio. Here
a very amusing scene between her
and the French teacher takes
place. Mile. Jeanne has heard the
girls planning to visit the studio,
with Joyce in her mother's cos
tume as chaperon, and hoping to
frustrate their plans she precedes
them to the studio. However,
much to her discomfit she finds
Nora already there, and the Irish
girl believing that "it's some se
A Grand Success.
cret she be afther a-fiudin' out,"
plays a joke on her, and contrives
to get her shut up in the closet.
Here the girls find her some time
later, and Mile, is again humili
ated by the mischievous young
sters.
Joyce has come to the studio in
order to see her mother's picture,
and after the other girls have gone
off to roam about and seek new
treasures she contemplates the
picture long and thoughtfully, no
ticing especially its expression of
wistful sadness. As she sits thus,
the Gypsy enters, and mistaking
Joyce for her mother 011 account
of her costume, she places some
papers upon her la it, saying as she
does so, "The love I bear the child
must not be a selfish one, it is for
her good; I must let her go, these
papers will tell her story."
Soon after Miss Morong enters
the studio looking for her young
ladies, but the Irish girl, knowing
that "its live by her wits she must
he afther ahoping," manages to
divert Miss Morong's attention
long enough for them to escape.
After she has gone, the waif, Jill,
enters exhausted by a fruitless
search for her friend, Miriam, and
faints in Nora's arms. Joyce, in
attempting to relieve her, finds a
locket around the little waif's
neck which bears the Dynecourt
coat of-arms. Bewildered by this
discovery, and hardly conscious of
what she is doing, Jack reads the
papers which the Gypsy has left,
not stopping to consider that they
are addressed to her mother.
In these she finds the startling
statement, "The child Jill is not
a waif, without kith or kin, but
your daughter." Then in a flash
she understands it all. Jill is in
deed not a waif, but her own sis
ter whom she believed killed in
the West ten years before. At this
point Miriam enters and Jill im
pulsively throws her arms around
her neck, but the Gypsy places her
in Joyce's arms with the simple
statement, "Your duty Jill, is
there."
In the last act Mrs. Dynecourt
learns of her good fortune, and is
made happy in the love of another
daughter; Mile. Jeanne confesses
that she told a falsehood concern
ing the stolen money; all misun
derstandings are cleared away and

NUMBER 10
Y. M. C. A. NOTES
We are now able to record one
more good Y. M. C. A. talk. This
was given by Prof. Moore last
Thursday evening. After reading
some selections and having a sea
son of prayer in which several
took part, he announced that his
remarks would be centered around
the word wealth. The speaker
divided his subject into four parts
and treated each in a brief man
ner. He had selected several
verses for the Scriptures which
had to do with wealth.
First he spoke of material
wealth, which we usually think of
when we hear the word wealth.
Then he passed to a higher kind
of wealth—intellectual wealth.
After speaking briefly 011 the good
qualities of this kind of wealth,
the speaker stepped up higher and
spoke of moral wealth, and show
ed how the other two fade when
compared with this. Then he
rose to the climax and spoke of
spiritual wealth the highest
wealth that man can possibly ob
tain.
Prof. Moore made a splendid
talk and the boys showed their ap
preciation by the close attention
which they paid to it.
F. WALTER GRABBS PREACHES.
One Sunday morning, Nov. 21,
Mr. Walter Grabbs addressed the
congregation of the Friends
church at Guilford College. His
theme was one of soul salvation
and the congregation was present
ed with a good picture of the wor
shiper of idols. "An idol is noth
ing, and can accomplish nothing,
but God is everything." The
speaker told of the small soul that
tries to get every possible bless
ing from God and then leave the
rest of mankind to work out its
own salvation alone. "There are
many floating ideas or germs in
the atmosphere that are very
harmful, and many people are in
clined to breathe these instead of
looking up to God." Mr. Grabs
said that there were many confiis
ing ideas about t he gospel, so that
a man might say he did not know
what to believe, but these people
are usually theorizing ones, who
never practise what they believe.
"Call sin by the name sin and let
it appear just as bad as it is. Do
not forget that there is a God
stronger in one second than all
sovereigns are in all ages."

Grace Taylor Sunday.
