Page 4 SOCIETY NOTES Halloween Keynote of Philomathean Program Halloween was the keynote of an un usually interesting meeting of Phil omatheans Friday evening. The first number "Origen and Legends of Hal loween" by Edna Coble furnished a good background for the rest of the program. Ruth Reynolds gave an account of three Halloweens at Guil ford and prepared the minds of her listeners to expect almost anything at this season. A ghost story told by Sallie Wilkins, was very effective ly given, as also was a reading, "The Fire Flies," by Blanche Robertson. The musical numbers were espec ially appropriate for the occasion. LI oyd Merriman played in her usual fine manner '"ln the Hall of the Mountain King" and Louise Frazier's rendition of the vocal solo "Little Orphant Annie," was exceptionally good. New Zays Give Program The program of the Zatasian soci ety, which centered about the south ern negro, was given over entirely to the new members last Friday even ing. The southern race question was debated by Edith Spencer and Eliza beth Brookshire. Mildred Townsend gave an instrumental solo, while Kirkeelee Davis discussed negro po etry. In a negro recitation by Jewell Edwards, however, the society pro bably listened to the best number on the program. This was followed by a short sketch of the life of Booker T. Washington given by Ina Mixon. After the program the society lis tened to the annual reading of the constitution and by-laws which in turn was followed by the report of the critic for the evening, Miss Zelma Farlow. As officers for the ensuing term the following were installed: Aline Johnson as president; Hazel Richard eon as secretary; Pansy Donnell as marshal. Henry Clays Stage Burlesque Debate A burlesque debate , by Dewey Crews and John Cannon and a sileni oration by William Blair filled the gaps in the last Clay program left vacant by the absence of the sporting members of the socitey. With several members absent on the Haverford trip, the discussion of current events by William Wolfl was the only regular number of the evening. Websterians Debate Muscle Shoals Problem At the regular meeting of the Web sterian society Friday night, the de bate for the evening on the query was: Resolved, that the govern ment would be justified in accept ing Henry Ford's offer for Muscle Shoals. Willard Allen and Sparger Robertson put forth good argument for the affirmative but were not able to cope with Ernest Macon and Her sl Macon who won the decision of the judges. As the second number on the pro gram, H. L. Macon read some selec tions from Longfellow. Walter Wiles then gave a helpful critic's report and the society ad journed. Misses Margaret and Ruth Lever ing were hosteses to the New Garden girls at an informal tea party Fri day night after societies had adjourn ed. After the refreshments had been served the lights were turned low to get the proper effect of the ghost stories. Some Timely Remarks. I am the college clock. For many years I have been hanging on the wall at the foot of the stairs in Founders' Hall, and weekly, Miss Benbow has taken down the key and wound up my weights. Throughout the years I have kept steadily, or un steadily, as the case may be, the rec ord of the flight of time. I have been hale and hearty in my day and have observed with pleasure the various changes in the tide of events. I have felt proud to know that I was in a great measure the di- j rector of them all. Day in and day out I have ticked out the seconds that have told joy to some, to others the awful news of exams, "gym" classes and study hour. Nor have I failed to turn a hand when occasion war rented. I must have a little variety— and what's a paltry five minutes now and then, anyway. Quite near me is the old college bell which has worked so faithfully with me. Whenever I have said 6:30 in the morning, Miss Benbow has gone out to ring the bell. Soon I have heard the noise of feet in the halls above me. In the old days | serious minded Quaker girls care fully prepared for breakfast. But nowadays drowsy girls' gradually drag themselves out of bed, and then as I am about to point my hands to 7 o'clock, hastily don a skirt and sweater and make a slide for the daily oatmeal and beef gravy. When the bell and I say 8:05, there is a grand rush down the stairs, and soon all settles down quietly, except the voice of Miss Benbow | crying, "Fay Rarlow!" On through the day the classes come and go, and students fidget, twist, mentally curs ing the dragging minutes/ Well, al I they have ever been able to do is just to think and sit the period out. It is another story just after sup per. The moments which for me are like all the rest, pass like the wind for the happy lovers occupying the Guilfordian room just next to me. Gladly would they turn back the wheels of time, but the ever-watch ful eye of Miss Louise is on them. With 7 o'clock comes the sounding of the bell, calling weary students home to dry history lessons and "math" problems. The bell has finished its day's work, but I am like the brook, "for I go on forever" —unless Miss Benbow forgets to wind me. But 1 am growing old. tired and decrepit in the service. Already my face looks scarred and I long to fold my hands some cold night to rest for ever. I can't run as well as I once did for my joints are so stiff I lose time. These cold mornings when I can hardly move my old companion, the bell, rings late. The wise pro fessor just in the midst of his most j interesting point exclaims, "Why I turned back my watch ten minutes this morning and now they're five j ahead of me. Goodness! What a clock!" Soon I shall be laid aside as a rel ic of the days that were—before the students got all these new-fangled j ideas about efficiency and that stuff. All fall I have heard rumors of an electric clock and bell system. They say the junior class is even now having one installed, so I shall soon: give over my duties to another ser vant of Father Time. Times change even for clocks. But when this new electric upstart rings exactly on the hour and some im-, portunate suitor is cut short in his declarations. I wonder if my suc cessor will not come in for his share of criticism, too. Well, well, while he tells time, perhaps time will tell. THE GUILFORDIAN I | ! i i i j | I . I i National i I i !
