THE GUILFORDIAN
VOL. IX.
QUAKERS DEFEATED BY
STRONG ROANOKE TEAM
Local Line Unable to Hold;
Shore and Mcßane Out;
Score 68 0
The Roanoke College football
eleven outplaying Guilford's grid
warriors at every turn, repeatedly
sweeping aside the latter's weak line
and penetrating far into her secon
dary defense, succeeded in piling
up a score of 68 to 0 against the
Quakers at Salem, Va., Nov. 18.
The local team was very severely
kandicapped, due to the fact that her
two big tacklers, Shore and Capt.
Mcßane, were out of the game to
gether with Purvis, the best ground
gainer for the backfield.
At no time during the game did
the Guilford squad threaten to score.
They were not able to register a sin
gle first down, and only once did
hey succeed in holding their oppon
ents for downs.
Daring attempts at passing on the
part of Guilford, while under her
own goal, resulted in three touch
downs for Roanoke.
The score at the end of the first
quarter was 7 to 0, with Roanoke
in possession of the ball on the
Quakers' 5-yard line. At the end
of the first half the score stood 27 to
Q for Roanoke. In the last half the
Salemites added 41 points to their
end of the score.
Roanoke's entire line played a
great game and the visiting backs
Wad but one or two chances to reach
the line of scrimmage.
Pringle played the best game for
the Quakers, at defensive end. Hurt,
Potter, Yost and Woods played a
stellar game for Roanoke.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT
APPROACHES COMPLETION
The girls' tennis tournaments will
soon be brought to a close. The jun
iors and seniors have already fin
ished, while the freshmen have only
the final yet to play.
In the final for the seniors, Clem
entine Raiford won from Nellie Al
len; for the juniors, Marie Beaman
won from Virginia Osborne. Katie
Cooper will play Geneva Highfill in
the final game for the freshmen.
The sophomore tournament is not
yet completed. Mary Henley will
play in the final. Much class spirit
is expected to be manifested when
the inter-class tournament begins.
ELARORATE SETTING
AND COSTUMES WILL
CHARACTERIZE PLAY
New Scenery Being Built
The scenery for the play "Daddy
Long-Legs" to be presented by the
Dramatic Council of Guilford Col
lege on Nov. 25 is a revelation in
tone color and lavishness. Under the
able supervision of Prof. J. Wilmer
Pancoast, careful attention has been
given to this important part of a
play.
Sets have been constructed that
equal those of many dramatic stock
companies. Special attention has
been given to the panelled walls of
Act 111 and the tapestries of Act
IV.
A noteworthy feature of this year's
stage craft will be the perfecting of
devices for scenery hanging that will
hasten the changes and add to the
effectiveness.
The costumes are also carefully
worked out. The purple pan-velvet
gown worn by the heroine has ar
rived. It is not one of Lady Duff
Gordon's creations, but it only needs
the label to distinguish it. Special
sport clothes have also been secured
for the college girls. The Princeton
and Yale pennants have also arrived
and Oh! Boy! Don't forget that
the Guilford College Dramatic Coun
cil knows how to stage a play.

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., NOVEMBER 22, 1922.
GUILFORD LENDS STATE
PART TIME SERVICE OF
EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
Professor Tells of Work
Among High Schools
"I consider the most optimistic
thing in the educational outlook of
the counties of Yadkin, Surry, and
Stokes, to be the general tendency
of the people toward a desire for
consolidated schools," was a state
ment made by L. L. White, who is
assistant state inspector of the
schools of these counties.
Mr. White, who is head of the ed
ucation department at Guilford Col
lege, was specially requested last
year along with members of the same
department from other North Car
olina colleges to make tours of in
spection through alloted groups of
high schools. Mr. White is quite
an authority on secondary schools.
Besides having made a special study
of this phase of education, he col
lected quite extensive data on the
high school pupil, during his ten
years as head of the Winston-Salem
school.
"Consolidation," Mr. White said.
" is entirely practicable in these coun
ties, due to their excellent roads.
And," he further added, "it is a
thing of the near future. All in
stance of the proximity of this type
of school," he maintained, "is the
rapid growth of plans which have
matured since his tour last January
in Yadkin county. One school there
has been made a standard state
school with one truck for collection
of students from a distance, and
plans have already been approved by
the state for two more modern build
ings in this county, one at Yadkin
ville and one at East Bend.
Asked what the function of these
high school inspectors is, he replied
that they were to act as a sort of
antennae or intelligence department
for the state high school inspector,
The state has thus far made 110 ap
propriation for this work excepting
the salary for one state inspector.
Who, realizing the futility of trying
to look after the needs of some 500
secondary schools, made an appeal
to those colleges that had a depart
ment of education to furnish him
with men to look after the high
schools in an assigned district. It
was just a year ago that this request
was made, and since then Guilford
has loaned to North Carolina the
part-time service of the head of 'bis
department. Mr. White suggests
that probably in the next few v :.v
the state will be divided into dis
tricts, each district having a full
time inspector.
DR. ELWOGD C. PERISHO
RETURNS TO GUILFORD
RESUMES EXTENSION WORK
Optomistic Over Future
Dr. Perisho is here! He arrived
Saturday to resume his work as ex
tension lecturer and 110 one knows
better than he, the dimensions of his
job. But he is very enthusiastic over
the prospects of Guilford's future.
"I am very much pleased," he
said, "over getting back and having
the privilege of associating with the
faculty and students of the college.
I am gratified to find such a lot of
fine men and women here."
Dr. Perisho thinks that the future
of Guilford is very bright, but be
lieves that a sudden change cannot
be brought about.
"However," he stated, "I am here
to do anything I can for Guilford
College, on the campus or in the
state."
Since leaving Guilford last spring
Dr. Perish has been very busy. Dur
ing the last two months he has de
livered over one hundred lectures,
both in educational institutions and
on the lyceum platform.

GUILFORD'S SEGONO TEAM
DEFEATED BY OAK RIDGE
Line Plunges and Forward
Passes Used to Good
Advantage By-
Cadets
The Guilford second team met de
' feat at the hands of the Oak Ridge
' eleven on the Oak Ridge field last
Wednesday. Although the game was
I one sided, as indicated by the score,
I 47-0, it was not without thrills. The
! struggle was fought in a drizzling
j rain and on a wet gridiron, which
was responsible for considerable
fumbling on the part of both elevens.
Soon after the initial kick-off. the
Oak Ridge team registered a touch
down on a series of line plunges,
This was followed by four others in
the first half, the whistle sounding on
a 33-0 score.
In the second half the Quakers
showed more pluck and fighting
spirit, allowing but one touchdown
during the third quarter. In the final
period by a series of line plunges, a
number of forward passes and end
runs two more touchdowns wera
scored for Oak Ridge.
Johnson played the best football
for Guilford, while Holiingsworth
was the Oak Ridge star.

SENIOR GLASS HOLDS
MANLESS MEETING
The woman's class of '23 was
called to order on Nov. 14 by vice
president Mock. In the absence of
the secretary, Helen Bostirk was
asked to serve. The roll was called
and the minutes of the last meeting
were read and adopted.
Under new business a heated dis
cussion ensued, resulting in a mo
tion that a strong armed committee
be appointed to investigate tin*
whereabouts of the men of the class
on the evening of the fourteenth, and
the nature of their conduct. The mo
tion was unaniomously carried and
the committee was appointed, consis
ing of Nellie Allen, chairman; Vera
Farlow and Nelle Carroll.
After a lengthy program consisting
ol a reading by Nellie Allen, vocal
duet by Vera Farlow and Jo Mock,
current events by Nelle Carroll and
songs by the whole ( lass, the class
gathered around the open fire.
The room was artistically decor
ated with ferns and crepe paper lil
lies. Ihe janitor frequently replen
ished the fire and ventilated the
room. Later in the evening delic
ious refreshments were served by the
host and hostess.
Finally, the faculty across the
hall, realizing that only the signifi
cant and prominent members of the
senior class were present, joined the
fireside circle in order to discuss the
immediate problems of the college.
Ihe 2.3's offered such sage opinions
that realizing the business capabil
ities of the ( lass, a committee was ap
pointed by the faculty to 'act in
conjunction with the college author
ities.
The members disbanded to meet
again at the chapel the following
morning.
