In general, success has crowned the efforts put forth this year. The officers of the Administration, Fac ulty members and the student body have worked co-operatively and earn estly to bring about this success. A creditable senior class, both in qual ity and quantity will go out thii year to help set Guilford's already high standards, even kigher. A review of the year's work shows progress in many ways, and no un biased person can rightly contend that the institution is not going for ward to better things. Guilford is yet far from perfect and will always be, as will every other institution, but no amount of knocking on the part of those who are indebted to the college; and these are more nu merous than we often think, will ever make it the Guilford that we hope to see. If affairs have not been conducted as we think best, we have a right to express the opinion, but we have no right to stand in the way of those, whose every effort is in the interest of a better college. The thing that will best carry forward the work for Guilford is a greater feeling of responsibility upon the part of each Guilford student, both old and new, for its success. The Alumni have responded loyally to the financial support of the college and in some measure have aided in the campaign for students, whether this has been to the gi*eatest possible extent is a question for each Alumnus to con sider carefully. Their efforts have been quietly appreciated in the past and the college looks to them for greater service in the future. The expression, "Put Guilford on the Map" has long ago become obsolete. Guilford is on the map and the great task of her supporters is to place her on. the map in big letters. At this time a most important part of this work is the assembling of a larger student body. To our loyal Alumni we look for much of the work necessary to the accomplish ment of this. But in this matter the student body is in position to play a greater part even than the Alumni. The present Guilford students are in better position to present the Guil ford of today, to those around them. With them the fire of enthusiasm is not quenched by the many ac- tivities of life which characterize Guilford Alumni, ar.d cn you, stu dents of today is placed a great portion of the work of advertising this institution. It matters not in what portion of your own state or of the United States you may be during the coming vacation. Talk Guilford to those whom you see. You think it's the best place for you, then you are justified in saying that it is the best place for others. Perhaps you are not enthusiastic about your col lege. Well you ought to be. Guil ford has done more for you than you can ever hope to repay, if you have allowed her to, and the most consist ent efforts on your part to bring stu dents to her next year, will be a very small pai-t of the debt that you owe ; our Alma Mater. This work can be done by organ ized efforts of students and Alumni, working with each other and with the college authorities. These organ izations should be put cn a working basis at the earliest possible date in order that the woi'k may not longer be delayed. It is the duty of every believer in Guilford to put forth a strenuous and united effort toward ithe accomplishment of the great aim. And to those who play their part well in this, the fruits of their ef forts will only serve as fuel to the fires of enthusiasm for a still greater Guilford and their supreme pride shall be expressed in: "Hail! Dear old Guilford, Thy loyal sons are we" ALUMNI HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING At seven o'clock in the Henry Clay Hall, Monday evening, the Alumni Association met in regular session with President A. W. Hobbs presid ing. Following the reading of the minutes of the last meeting reports were read which contained some val uable suggestions concerning the fut ure development and extended useful ness of Guilford. The reports of the various com mittees were read, all of which were very encouraging. The report of the Athletic Com mittee was of special interest, since it contained evidence of the fact that athletics were being put on a bi'oader scale. It is gratifying to know that the body of every student at Guil foi-d is being trained as well as his or her mind. The Executive Committee report ed that the following officers had been elected: President, J. O'Neal Ragsdale; Secretary, Rhesa L. Sew lin; Executive Committee : H. A. Car roll. and L. L. White; Trustee of Loan Fund, Laura D. Worth; Alumm Trustee, D. D. Carroll. Considerable discussion was given to the matter of the alumni co-operat ing with Guilford students in various centers looking toward the organiz ing of local chapters of the Associa tion so that the spirit of Guilford may ever remain in the minds of th 2 people of thh state, R. L. Newlin presented a plan of organization. THE GUILFORDIAN J. M. HENDRIX & CO. THE HOME OF GOOD SHOES Greensboro, N. C. COME IN AND LOOK AT OUR LINE OF FINE SHOES FOR FALL AND WINTER.

It is interesting to know that the Associ ation approved the general plan unan imously. Active alumni from differ ent points volunteered to co-operate with students in carrying out this important work during the next year. W. E. Blair, a member of the Board of Trustees gave a very en couraging report concerning the fi nancial condition of the college. Then Dr. Binford brought the most interesting news of the evening when he announced that The General Edu cation Board of New York had con tributed SSOOO a year for two years to the sustaining fund. The names of l-ecently deceased members were read as follows: Thomas J. Covington, Gertrude Cronk, Joe Reddick, Ezra Moore and R. Cabel Lindsay. Several members cf the association spoke touchingly concerning the lives of these who have passed on before us. After adjournment the annual re ception in honor of the graduating class was held in the library. This social hcur was enjoyed very much by every one present. DEAR OLD GUILFORD Dead Old Guilford! Dear Old Guil ford! Sweet the echo, loud and long, Filling sky and field and forest With the glory of that song. And we listen hearts attuned To the melody profound, While the great high, vault of heaven. Thrills and echoes with the sound. Dear Old Guilford! Dear Old Guil ford! Let its music fill the air, Floating softly o'er the treetops Spreading gladness everywhere. And we stand enraptured, silent, Awed and calmed, by song so rare, Till there steals a sense upon us That is sweet beyond compare. Dead Old Guilford! Dear Old Guil ford! Let its music ring again, Filling every hill and valley With that glad, majestic strain. And we pause amid our labors. Sordid care and earthly gain, Till our hearts with joyous rapture Join in singing the sweet, refrain. Emerson Raiford. Hilltop Sanitarium, Danville, Va., May 22, 1921.
