Don't Miss the Games with Carolina and Trinity at Winston-Salem, March 30 and April 1
THE GUILFORDIAN
VOLUME IV.
GUILFORD PREPARES
FOR BIG SEASON
Manager Jones Has a Good Schedule
Arranged and the Team is Get-
ting Into Shape.
Guilford baseball supporters and
other lovers of the national sport
will soon have a chance to see soime
good games. Wednesday, the 27th,
Lenoir College 'will play Guilford
here, while on the following Satur
day and Monday the Quakers will
play games in Winston-Salem. Caro
lina will oppose Bob Doak's aggrega
tion Saturday and on Monday Chick
Doak's team from Trinity will meet
Guilford. These two games in Win
ston will be ones worth witnessing,
and every Guilfordian who can pos
sibly be there should see them.
For the ipast week Coach Doak has
been oiling up, adjusting screws and
putting in good running order the
Quaker baseball machine. At pres
ent it is working nicely. The team
has greatly improved since the Ruth
erford game both in fielding and hit
ting, and will be in fine shape for the
above mentioned games.
C. Newlin, who has rapidly devel
oped into a neat first baseman slight
ly injured his hand Friday. Mc-
Cracken has been suffering 'with a
sprained ankle for the past few days,
but both he and Newlin have con
tinued practice and probably will be
in the line up aganst Lenoir.
Hubbard and Fox are still com
peting for the position at second
base. Reddick is still at short, while
A. Newlin continues to grab 'em
around third. In the outfield John
son, Boren, Fitzgerald, MeCracken
and Bulla are chasing the ball over
the hill and into the hollow. Bal
linger will probably do most of the
receiving this spring.
The pitching staff, Capt. Zachary,
Kendall, J. White and Fort are in
good trim. Zachary seems to be
stronger than ever before, and it is
supposed that he will work against
Carolina Saturday. Kendall is the
better of the other three men.
The entire team works together
exceedingly well and they expect to
be in the race for the State cham
pion again this year.
Manager Jones made a splendid
record in engineering the team last
year and it appears that he is likely
to repeat the performance. The
schedule is open to some probable
changes but the season's games will
be about as outlined in this issue.
HIGH SCHOOL CONTEST APRIL 13
A number of entries have already
been made for the High School con
test to be held on April 13th and it
seems very probable that a large
number of High Schools -will be rep
resented.

FITZGERALD ELECTED
PRESIDENT Y r . M. C. A.
Annual Business Meeting Results in
Election of Officers and Talks
on Service.
At a business meeting of the Y. M.
C. A. last Thursday evening the fol
lowing men were selected to serve as
officers for the coming year: Paul V.
Fitzgerald, president; Charles B.
Shelton, vice-president; Hervie N.
Williard, secretary; Clarence M. Ma
con, treasurer; Berry Lee White,
marshal. The officers were not in
stalled at this meeting.
After the election of officers, Presi
dent Chester M. Sutton look charge
of the meeting. He based his talk
on the topic of "Service." He began
by emphasizing the fact that we are
here to fit ourselves to ba of the most
service to the world. Curist's entire
life can be interpreted in terms of
service. He taught service as one
of the fundamental principles of
Christianity. Nothing seemed too
loiwly for the Master to nerform if by
so doing he could be of service to
humanity. He did not ask his dis
ciples to serve until he had set the
example 'himself. Those who would
have their lives count fo- something
must learn to serve humanity, and by
so doing they will be S2rving them
selves and God. The leader said,
"By helping others we help our
selves. Whoever iwould be a leader,
must first learn to serve. Christ led
the multitude iby serving them. If
we are not serving some one, we are
not really happy. The very secret of
happiness is unfolded by service."
The speaker then announced that
the house was open for a general dis
cussion. The readiness with which
many of the fellows expressed their
views on the subject was indeed en
couraging.

ERROL D. PECKHAM
VISITS GUILFORD
Several Ahle Addresses Delivered to
Guill'ord Students.
Errol D. Peckham, head of the
Evangelistic and Church Extension
Board of New York Yearly Meeting,
visited Guilford from Saturday the
23rd to Tuesday the 26th. His pres
ence was inspiring and helpful, and
the addresses delivered and the vari
ous conferences held with individual
students made 'h:s stay with us one
to be remembered. On Saturday
night he held a meeting with those
students who are expecting to enter
the ministry and on Sunday morning
he preached most acceptably to the
college and community. The message
which ihe came to deliver was em
bodied in his address at morning
chapel on Monday. T'le substance
of his remarks was as follows:
It is generally admitted that the
rural communities are the moral
backbone of the nation. That the
moral (backbone of our nation is no
stronger than it is, is due to the spir
it which has prevailed too long in
saying any body can preach in a
country church. The fact is rural
churches have begun to die at a seri
ous rate. Warren H. Wilson is au
thority for the statement that 75 per
cent, of the rural churches in Ohio
are decreasing or stationary and 65
per cent, of those in small villages
are in the same condition. Surveys
in parts of other States indicate that
Ohio is an index to tne nation in tilts
matter. When we know that more
than 90 per cent, of our nation's
leaders of all kinds, both in city and
country are born in rural districts it
makes one wonder whether the fu
ture leaders of our land are to be
reared with no church influence
around them. Such a condition would
be a calamity.
That this misfortune may not
come it is essential to secure young
men and women iwho will give their
lives to the ministry in the home
field and will thoroughly prepare
themselves for the task. A three year
course in some seminary following a
college course is not too much. More
and more the world demands experts.
A legal expert takes a course in law
following his college course, a medi
cal expert takes his course in medi
cine after he finishes college. The
same is increasingly true of the
teacher. Shall we continue to leave
the most important phase of a com
munity's life with no expert leader
ship because no fully framed leaders
prepare for this task. Recently an
evangplistic superintendent of one of
the American Yearly Meetings said,
I 'can find plenty of SSOO men. It is
the .$1,000.00 men that are hard to
c'liscover.
It is the conviction of the writer
that very few rural communities ox-

LIEUT. WOOSLEV
TALKS ON CAMP LIFE
Student Hotly .treated to a Pleasant
Surprise by Prof. John.
The students were agreeably sur
prised last Friday evening when
Lieut., or better known on our camp
us as Prof. Woosley, arrived. The
students with almost ona voice asked
if he would not speak to them that
night.
Arrangements were made and the
hour was set. Each Literary Society
was only too glad to shorten its pro
gram and to adjourn at o'clock, in
order to learn something of camp
life from a person who had ibeen
there.
The lieutenant told of some of the
experiences he had at Ft. Oglethorpe
Officers' Training Camp. "To arise
eat breakfast and be in line at 5.30
a. m. ready for a hard day's work
was rather strenuous. The day's
work included training of every kind,
then at night there was generally
school."
The hardest task at the Officers'
Training Camp was an 80-mile hike,
ending each day with a sham battle.
The evening camp was reached com
missions were given which. acted as
a "healing oil" for all the wounds
and the hardships of the trip.
At Camp Jackson life is not quite
so strenuous as in the Officers' Train
ing Camp. Reveille sounded at 6:15
and the men must "fall in" at 6:30.
First come gympastic exercises, then
breakfast and close drill, and other
military routine.
The speaker emphasized the im
portance of an education. Ninety per
cent, of the men who have commis
sions are college men. The speaker
also urged the students to take ad
vantage of their opportunities while
here.
THE ENTOMOLOGISTS
OF GUILFORD COLLEGE
Take An Extended Research Trip.
In the Biology Laboratory excite
ment reigned. Saturday morning
owing to the beautiful spring weath
er it was decided to take an extended
trip into the woods and along the
streams in search of members of the
class insecta, which being interpreted
are: Beetles, butterflye, grasshopl
- mosquitoes, etc. After many
false alarms the professor in charge
of the trip arrived and ordered the
equipment made ready. This was
done; cyanide bottles, bottles filled
with water, bottles filled with alco
hol, "bottles, bottles everywhere, but
not a thing to drink," tin cans, snake
sacks, turtle sacks, lizzard sacks,
guns, trowels, forceps, big hats, big
coats, big rubber boots. The equip
ment was made ready and shoulder
ed. The explorers set out, straight
back of Archdale they went, laying
