HOW ARE YOU PLAYING THE
GAME?
There are very few people who do
not enjoy seeing a lively basket ball
game—a game in which every play
er is putting forth his whole strength
to win the game. In playing a game
of this character each player must
be 011 the job and know exactly just
what he is to do and how he is to
carry out his part. If he fails to do
this, the team will very likely meet
defeat. If a player violates the
rules or plays unfairly he runs a
risk of being taken out of the game
and a substitute put in to fill his
place. Besides the players and the
substitutes there are those in the;
grandstand who are supporting the;
team by cheering. All these differ-:
ent phases make up a very interest
ing game.
It may well be said that we are
playing the college game, which is
made up mostly with our classroom
work and outside activities. Some of i
us have been playing the game for
two, three and four years, others are
starting for the first time. Many of
us know the rules or at least have
had a chance to learn them, and
should be able to show the ones just
starting how to play fairly and
squarely,.
As in the basket ball game, there
are the active players, the subs or
scrubs, and then there are the specta
tors. What part of this game are
you playing? Is it the part of the
active player or is it the part of the
sub? If the team in this college
game meets defeat will it be your
fault because you did not play fairly
or put forth every effort to win?
There is no room 011 the side lines
for "subs," but every one must be
an active player, for the field is not
wded and all are needed in the
game. It may be more pieasan. :
311 on the side lines and watch th
game, but the longer you sit there
the harder it will be to get out 011
the floor. At the best these college
years seem very short and the time
will soon come for you to give up
your place :to another. If you have
wasted any of this precious time, it
is unfortunate. Do not wait too
long, or it may be that you will not
have the courage to get into the
game.
There are many things to claim
attention which have a tendency to
make us lose sight of how we are
playing this college game. We too
often forget the outside world and
just live in a little sphere all ito our
selves with a few of our friends near
us. We seek our own pleasures
without ever stopping to see how
our neighbor is getting along. We
need to develop a better system of
brotherly love—a better spirit of
unity, in order to be able to accom
plish the greatest results. There
should be a closer unity in the re
spective classes. Of course there
should be a spirit of rivalry between
the classes—but it should be ithe
right kind of rivalry—and not the
kind that causes hatred. Let us
cast aside the little selfish motives
that tend to make us narrow mind
ed. But get into the game and be a
whole-hearted player.
Decide now whether you will be
an active player or a substitute,
while the Alumni are in the grand
stand yelling for you.
PHTLOMATHEANS ELECT
ORATORICAL SPEAKERS
At the last regular meeting of the
Philomathean Literary Society an j
interesting and profiable meeting
was enjoyed. The society was called 
to order by President Clegg, who ap
pointed Isabel Pancoast as critic for'
the evening.
The first number of the program
was a book review. In this Miss;
Frances Moore gave a clear and in- j
teresting outline of the book, "The
Twenty-fourth of June," by Grace
Richmond. Following this, Miss
Frances McCracken read to the so
ciety some of the latest current;
events. Next on the program Miss
Mabel Robertson, in a very effective
manner, recited James Whitcombe j
Riley's "That Old Sweetheart ofi
Mine," with piano accompaniment
by Miss Zola McCracken, who played
"Melody of Love." Miss Anna Hen
ley ended the program with the ren
dition of a vocal solo, which was
greatly enjoyed.
In the business part of the meet
ing the speakers for the oratorical
THE GUILFORDIAN
contest, which is to be given May
15, were elected. Those elected
were: Misses Isabel Pancoast, Ruth
Reynolds, Ruth Outland, Madge Co
ble, Dovie Hayworth and Katherine
Harmon. It was also decided at this
time to award the prize for the
group who had given the best pro
gram during the series. The leaders
of the groups were voted on and it
was decided that Miss Donna Mc-
Bane's division had given the best
and most original program.
After the critic's report and a few
words of general criticism society
adjourned.
