Although playing a losing game, they showed every evidence of good sportsmanship, throughout. Nothing, but the cleanest tactics were employed. This kind of athletics always apeals to Guilford. * * * * And all of this time we haven't forgotten our tennis team, that made such a creditable showing against Trinity. Development in this phase of athletics at Guilford has been very rapid. One year ago, we hardly had the nucleus of a team,and now the boys are matching well against the best teams in the state. With practically every member of the team having two or three years yet to play, there is no reason why Guilford should not have the state championship in the future. It's worth working for. * * * * Guilford seemed like a new place during the latter part of last week. Some one got busy, and a more peppy group has not been seen here lately. The contrast was a striking one. We were really alive. The cheering in the dining room was particularly effective and we see no reason why it should not be continued. No one was any the worse for it and it did demonstrate that the student body was not a group of mutes. # * * # i It might be well to again call attention to the plans outlined by the Dramatic Council in regard to the plays, which are to be given jointly, by the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. A. A. this year. And in remind ing you of this, it is hoped that every student will feel that he or she is in some way responsible for the successs of this new undertaking. The work has got off to a rather hurried start this fall, but that fact makes it necessary to lend even more support to it. But possibly you are not pleased with the change. Well, it is quite obvious, that from past experiences, the Y. W. C. A. cannot hope to receive much financial aid from the type of play that has been given in the past, and while this is not true of the minstrel, yet it is not dif ficult to see that it's popularity is on the decline and in the matter of training neither has presented any great opportunities in the past. Will the new arrangement provide all of the advantages that the old did not? Probably not; but there is good evidence for believing that to a greater extent it will. True a certain class of financial sup porters of the minstrel will be los, but there is every reason to believe that a greater number will be gained from other sources. And the Y. W. C. A. may look for a greater support this year than it has re ceived in previous years. From the standpoint of training, the new is certainly in advance of the old. The plays are of a higher -class and require the exhibition of the best talent in school. The greatest need at present is the student support to put the thing across. What have you done? Did you try out for a place in the cast? or did you think that if you were wanted in the play you would be informed of the fact? The judges were not in position to know whether you were wanted or not unless you gave a demonstration of your ability. The whole idea of the tryout is to discover talent. Then of course come the selection of the best from the trvout. If you have not tried out or if you tried and lost, there is still a chance for you in the play which is to be given in the spring, and you shold keep that in mind and prepare to give your best support to that one if you have failed this fall. THE GUILFORDIAN ALUMNI NEWS Mr. E. J. Coltrane, 'O7, has been superintendent of the Roanoke Rap ids Public Schools since 1919. Since his graduation at Guilford, Mr. Col trane has been engaged in educa tional work, and has attracted wide spread and favorable notice among the educational circles of the state. He was for two years county su perintendent of schools in Randolph county, and for nine 'years principal of the Jamestown High School. He has taken special work in the University of Virgina, and at Cor nell University, and has completed North Carolina for his M. A. Degree, which will be conferred in June 1922. According to the Roanoke Rapids Herald the faculty of the Roanoke Rapids school has doubled in num ber since Mr. Coltrane has been superintendent, and the enrollment has increased about seventy-five per cent. This fall they have opened there a new half million dollar high school building, said to be the biggest and best in the state. The Roanoke Rapids Herald in speaking of Mr. Coltrane's work says: "He is an ardently enthusi astic worker for educational progress. He is not hampered by tradition and precedent, in fact, he welcomes innovations that mean progress in his profession, and his energy and enthusiasm have contributed in no small degree to the steady improve ment in school methods and ac complishment during the last two years. With vastly augmented fa cilities at his hand, the people of the community feel confident that under his guidance educational work in Roanoke Rapids Township will be second to none in the state." Three other Guilfordians are con nected with the Roanoke Rapids High School. Mr. J. p. Garner, 17, has charge of the Mathematics; Miss Ruth Coble, 'l7, is Director of Phiysical Education for girls, and Miss Mary Coble, '2l, has charge of Home Economics in the Junior High School. Mr. J. Carson Hill, "01, with his wife and three children, visited Pres. and Mrs. Binford recently. Mr. Hill is a successful business man of High Point. Miss Annie F. Petty, '94. who was for many years librarian at the State Normal College in Greens boro, is now Reference secretary for the State Library Commission at Raleigh. Mr. W. C. Hammond, 'Ol, is now. secretary to Congressman Hammer. Mr. Hammond spends most of his time in Washington. Mr. Joseph Blair. 'O9, spoke in chapel one morning last "week on The Protection of the American Sunday. Mr. Blair is a railroad mechanic, and editor of the religious section of the Albany Decatur Daily. He was returning from a three weeks trip through the west and north, where he has been trying to bring pressure to bear on the United States Railroad Labor Board to recind the ruling which takes Sunday work out of the emergency class and permits rail roads to require their laborers to work on Sunday for regular wages. Under this ruling railroad workers will have no Sunday, but if Sun day work is made emergency work, and one and one-half wages de manded. fewer men will be employ ed. CALENDAR " Thurs.
