THE GUILFORDIAN
VOLUME VI
MANDARINS, DOLLS
AND 'SIMMON PUDDING
COMBINATION OF PLAY AND BA
ZAAR PROVES BIG SUCCESS.
Y. W. C. A. Is Resourceful Enter
tainers.
The Y. W. C. A., showing its usual
good taste and good sense, presented
a pleasing combination Saturday
evening, December 13th, when it
stageld a short Chinese play, followed
by a sale of novelties from home and
abroad and of delicious "eats."
The play had for its title "The
Turtle Dove." The story deals with
how Chang-Sut-Yew, the hero, to
escape the decree of the God of Fate
that he should die, has disguised
himself as a servant and is employ,
ed by a wealthy mandarin. He be
comes infatuated with the manda
rin's beautiful daughter and is pur
sued by the father's wrath. To avert
a calamitous ending, the God of Fate
appears and decrees .that the hero
shall live forever upon a willow
plate.
The costuming of the cast de
serves special mention, as does the
general presentation of the play.
Miss Frances Moore as "chorus"
performed her part of introducing
the players in a most creditable
manner. Miss Mabel Ward as the
gong bearer, acted her part well, as
did also Miss Edna Raiford, prop
erty man. Miss Edith Macon in the
role of (he mandarin is to be com
net >,l Miss Mariu na White as
Chang-Sub-Yew and M !, s Elizabeth
Yates as Kiverlin, acted in a very
clever manner their parts as "Turtle
Doves."
On ithe whole, the play was well
staged and reflects credit upon the
association.
Following the play everybody was
invited to visit the three booths.
The novelty booth, presided over by
Misses Florence Martin and Thelma
Cloud, was brilliantly attired in its
holiday regalia. Here, bags in all
colors, shapes and designs, hand
kerchiefs, dolls in their best dress
es, aprons, caps and pictures were to
be found in bright array. These
articles were donated by the girls of
the Y. W. C. A.
In another corner of "Mem" hall,
people who had just arrived from
far Japan were seen surrounded, by
the many beautiful things from that
beauty-loving land. Here also the
Red Cross girl could be found doing
her bit. selling Christmas seals.
Those serving in this capacity were
Miss Ruth Outland and Alma Chil
ton.
Last but by no means of least im
portance was the "Eats" booth.
Surrounded as It was by crowds of
people the delicious lemon tarts,
persimmon pudding, oyster soup and
hot cocoa with which its tables were
covered could scarcely be seen.
This bazaar cleared between flft
and sixty dollars, the largest returr.t
of any yet held in the history of
the Y. W. C. A., and the association
feels very grateful to every persoTf
who contributed to it in any way
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C„ DECEMBER 17, 1919
GUILFORD WINS
OPENING GAME
Zachary and Smith Star for Guil
ford.
Coach Doak's basketball quint
bagged the first game of the seasol
last Saturday afternoon by swamp
ing the Draper Y. M. C. A. team by
a score of 52 to 6. The game was,
from the beginning, a walk over for
the collegians who started the scor
ing in the first minute of play. The
visitors were clearly outclassed in
every phase of ,the game. During
the greater part of the first half it
seemed as if the visitors would be
blanked; however, Newman succeed
ed in making good a free shot from
a foul. At the close of the first pe
riod the score stood 26 ,to 1. In the
last half the "Y" boys showed con
siderable fighting spirit for a few
minutes and succeeded in pocketing
two goals from the field and one
from a free try a goal.
For Draper, Newman, Seawell and
Nance, three former college basket
ball stars, did the best work.
For Guilford, Zachary at right
forward, and Smith, formerly with
Asheville High School, were most
familiar with the basket. Zachary,
the individual star of the game,
came out with twenty points to his
credit. Smith scored fourteen
points, twelve from the field and
two points from four goals.

WHIRLWIND CAMPAIGN
AMONG STUDENTS
AGE-LONG DREAM OF REVOLU
TIONISTS REALIZED.
Founders Girls Have discovered How
to Bring in the Dimes and Nickels
and at the Same Time Live a
Life of Luxurious Ease.
The campaign among Guilford stu
dents to raise their quota for ithe en
dowment fund is being pushed for
ward with great enthusiasm since
the rally on December 6. It is the
policy of the classes that each mem
ber shall pledge himself ito the
amount of fifty dollars, which with
our present student body of about
two hundred and fifteen persons will
add about ten thousand dollars to
the fund. These contributions, to
be paid in small amounts annually,
are to be raised without the aid of
parents, and in order that ways and
means of meeting part of their ob
ligation while still in college may
be provided, a council has been ap
pointed to which all matters rela
tive to the campaign are to be re
ferred. On this council are three
faculty members and ten students,
each class, including preparatory
students having elected Itwo mem
bers. It is the business of this coun
cil to publish all contributions, to
pass upon all schemes for raising
money, and to provide with work as
far as possible those desiring it.
If one only has the price, one may
truly live in luxury at Guilford since
this campaign was launched. For
a small sum, your boots are polish
ed to a fine luster, your room is
swept and dusted and your windows \

MISSES ALMA CHILTON AND
FLORENCE MARTIN ENTER
TAIN FRESHMEN GIRLS.
How glad the Freshmen girls felt
on last Sunday afternoon that their
names were on the Freshmen Bible
Class roll and that they had been
faithful attendants. Why? Be
cause the teachers of that class,
Misses Alma Chilton and Florence
Martin, had summoned the entire
class to a little informal tea. As the
hour approached a group of merry
girls gathered in the parlor at New
Garden. As each entered she was
given a piece of paper, a pencil and
a penny. It was then announced
that there would be p. penny con
test, and it was surprising how many
things were asked to be found on
one small penny.
After ithis was over refreshments
consisting of raisin, olive and fruit
sandwiches and cocoa were served
by Misses Katherine Campbell and
Nell Carrol.
Following the refreshments vari
ous games were played.
CLAY-PHILOMATHEAN
RECEPTION
Henry Calys Prove Themselves to
Be Most Acceptable Hosts.
Friday evening, Dec. 12, was one
of the most enjoyable occasions of
the year, for it was for that evening
that the members of ,the Henry Clay
Literary Society invited the Philo
matheans to be present at their an
nual reception, given in the Henry
Clay Society Hall.
Even before the Phils left their
own society hall they had a fore
taste of what was coming. Attrac
tive program and menu favors were
given them. These favors were in
the shape of a Quaker hat, and the
initials of the two societies were
painted in gold letters on the crown
of the hat.
Norman Fox, sergeant-at-arms, es
corted the Philomatheans to the
Clay Society Hall.
The house was called to order
and the regular business was begun.
Mr. Barrett, in the capacity of
president, extended a most cordial
welcome to all visitors, after which
the program was rendered.
First, Mr. J. Curtis Newlin in a
very attractive and intresting man
ner gave a sketch of the life of the
much loved Quaker poet, Whittier,
and in closing read a neautiful pass
age from "Snowbound."
A debate was the next feature of
the program, the query being, "Re
solved, That the United States should
assume mandatory over Mexico."
The affirmative was upheld by
Gladston Hodgin, who argued that
the United States would be justified
in setting up a democratic govern
ment in Mexico for the welfare of
the people, and that it was ,the duty
of the United States to take this
step.
The negative was upneld by Hugh
Moore, who advanced the theory
that the United States had no legal
right to interfere in Mexican af
fairs and make virtual serfs of the
people.
The judges, Misses Donna Mc-
Bane, Myrtle Cox and Mary Dixon,
decided in favor of the affirmative.
Perhaps no other number on the
program was enj'oyed more than the
music selection, "Annie Laurie,"
sung by the Clay quartet, Fox, En
nis, Farlow and Casey. Paul Nich
ols gave a reading, "The Angels of
Beuna Vista."
After a cogent critic's report by
Harry Johnson, President Barrett
called for speeches from visitors. On
behalf of the Philomathean Society
Misses Mcßane, Hayworth, Outland,
Reyn'olds and Moore expresed the
pleasure this occasion afforded to
all those who love the Brown and
White. After adjournment came the
general "mix up," each one trying
to find the number corresponding to
the one on .the back of his or her
program. After the confusion had
