THE GUILFORDIAN VOLUME VII Faculty Gives Students Banquet A Nautical Feast The walls of the old diningroom of Founders have another episode to add to the list of long-cherished memories. A merrier crowd of stu dents never was seen than those who entered the diningroom at six o'clock on December eighteenth by the invi tation of the Faculty. The glow of the red-shaded lights cast a soft mellow radience upon the tables, ar ranged in long coulmns the length of the room. Quantities of green vines festooned from the beams and wreaths, combined with torches of red gave the scene the atmosphere of the approaching season of jollity and happiness. After the Doxology had been sung, a delicious three course dinner was daintily served by members of the Domestic Science Department during which several musical members were beautifully rendered by students of the Music Department. Then Professor Mills with easy grace and ready wit in the role of toast-master, using the famous Shakespeare passage, "There is a tide in the affairs of men," launched the idea of Guilford College being a good, staunch ship fully endowed with crew, passengers and necessary equipment for sailing at home and abroad. The following Faculty and students further explained the nau tical expedition with subjects apropos to the occasion. Passengers—Curtis Newlin Maiden Voyagers—Robert Marshall In Home Waters —Ruth Outland. On High Seas —Miss Roberts. Disembarked—Tom Stewart All Aboard—Prof. Balderston Aboard or On Shore—Spot Taylor. Stowaways—William Fichel. Wireless Messages—Prof. White. The Log 800k —Algie Newlin. High Tide for the Good Ship Guil ford.—President Binford. The toasts without exception were intensely interesting and a fine, some what indefinable spirit of comrad ship and loyalty pervaded the room. One and all departed with the gen eral feeling that such a symposium was delightful and conducive to "Peace on earth and good will toward men." GUILFORD HIGH SCHOOL FIVE DEFEATS BURLINGTON HIGH'S IN CLOSE CONTEST Game Featured by Consistent Playing On Part of Both Teams. The Guilford High School Basket Ball team defeated the delegation from Burlington, Jan. 7, by a close margin of one point. The game proved to be the best High School contest seen on the college court in some time. Both teams played hard consistent ball throughout the two periods. The Guilford five had the edge on the visitors in passing the ball but failed to make good as large a percentage of chances as did* the Burlington (Continued on page 3) GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., JANUARY 12, 1921 Basket Ball Squad In Strenuous Practice Schedule for Season Since the return from Christmas vacation Coach Doak has kept things lively for his basket ball players. The game played with Winston "Y" just before Christmas showed that Guilford will have a team to be prou I of this season. It has not been definitely stated as yet who will start in the game with Durham "Y" here on January 2nd, but in all probability Zachary and Frazier, both reliable players will go in at forward, J. E. Newlin will be at cen ter, a position at which he showed up well last year, and at guard Tom Cox with Wall or Raiford, will prob ably start. To Guilfordians Cox needs no introducing. He played guard on last year's team and is a man to be feared by his opponents. Wall is a new r man but has shown up exceptionally well. He is not only good at guarding but is also quite familiar with the basket. Raiford of last year's squad is playing better than ever and much is to be expected of him this season. Manager Cox has made a few changes in the schedule published before Christmas. It is now as fol lows: Jan. 12 Durham "Y" at Guilford. Jan. 22 Winston "Y" at Guilford. Jan. 27 A. & E. "Y" at Guilford. Jan. 28 Davidson College "Y" at Davidson. Jan. 29 Open Feb. 4th Wake Forest at Guilford. Feb. 5 Lenoir at Guilford. Feb. 10 Wake Forest at For est. Feb. 11, A. & E. at Raleigh Feb. 12, Durham "Y" at Dui'ham Feb. 18, Elon College at Elon. Feb. 26, Elon at Guilford. Mar. 1, Davidson at Greensboro. Mar. 5. Trinity College at Durham. There will also be two games with the Greensboro Y. M. C. A. team al though the dates have not yet been settled. GIRL'S ATHLETICS During the past two months bas ket ball has been the leading sport for girls' Athletics. The interest this year has surpassed all records— In fact there are so many girls who desire to play basket ball, that the gymnasium is far too small for all to get the desired practice. However through the able leadership of Eurie Teague as manager, teams have been organized, each one having a captain. In this way every team has the same chance for practice. Miss Mildred Crabb the director, on account of sickness was forced to go home the first of December. Since then the gymnasium classes have been under the direction of the athletic cabinet with Dovie Hayworth and Edna Raiford as class leaders. The girls have shown splendid co operation in helping to carry forward the work of this department during the absence of Miss Crabb. Miss Crabb has undergone an operation and is improving. She hopes to be back to take up her work at an early date. County Clubs Organized During the past week about fifteen clubs have been organized repiiesent ing the various counties and two sis ter states of North Carolina whose members compose the present stu dent body of Guilford College. It is the purpose of the clubs to get in touch with all the high schools in the different counties and by some means publish abroad the Guilford spirit. In this way many plans are originating by which we can boost the good old ship Guilford and help to make her a better and stronger college. It is the hope of one and all that the Alumni of Guilford will con sider themselves honorary members of the clubs to which they rightly belong. They will doubtless be called upon soon for their help and sug gesstions. The following is a list of the clubs of, and the presidents and secretaries of the clubs: Guilford County:: President—Raleigh Tremain, Scretary—Marianna White.

FIVE O'CLOCK TEA On Thursday afternoon Miss Noles, Miss Polk and Miss Douglass were at home to the ladi'es of the college Faculty and friends of the community Founder's Seniors Royally Entertain Class Mates On Wednesday evening the Senior girls of Founder's Hall were host esses to the other members of their class and three members of the Fac ulty. The guests, on arriving at the Anscombe Cottage were greeted by the hostesse, Misses Bu'la, Dixon and Stewart, who gave to each guest a small card on which was written the names of some author or the name of a book written by some author, the boys receiving names of authors and the girls, the names of the books. For some few minutes each one was busy finding his or her pardner by watching the names of the Authors and book titles. The next interesting feature was a foot ball contest. The guests after receiv ing a pencil and paper—were asked to answer fourteen questions with favorite foot-ball expressions. It was quite amusing to see how few of the expressions our star foot ball players knew. This prize was awarded to Miss Okie Raiford and Mr. Robert Bulla having made only one mistake in answering the questions. Following this, yellow cards tied with royal blue ribbon were given to each couple bearing these words: "My New Year's wish for you is." For a few minutes all were thinking of the best New Year's wish that he could write on the card for his pardner. After these were finished they were read and found very pleas ing. Various other games followed of unusual interest. At this time the hostesses came in carrying to each guest a beautifully decorated tray with chicken salad, pickles, celery, crackers and grape fruit with cher ries. Next came ice cream and cake, which was followed by coffee and mints. It was difficult for the classmates to express the feeling of gratitude which each one had for the hostesses. The occasion will always be one of the brightest pages in the memory book of the class of '2l. "NURSE MARJORIE" GIVEN AT MEMORIAL HALL.
