EDITORIAL COMMENT
The Dramatic council, with Miss
Aline Polk, head of the English de
partment as its director, scored a
complete success in the presentation
of "Three Live Ghosts" last Satur
day night. The cast of characters
was well selected and carefully
trained so that the play went
through with an ease and snap that
won several of the most critical
minds.
This is the fourth production of
the Dramatic council and the sec
ond one to be given for the benefit
of the men's athletic association.
It was noticeable that the audience
was of a more refined type with a
higher developed appreciation than
that which formerly attended the
annual minstrel.
"Three Live Ghosts" differs con
siderably from the plays previously
given by the council. Dealing with
life among the cockney and aristo
cratic classes of London, it demand
ed much more real acting on the
part of the cast than does an
American play featuring characters
who come more nearly within the
average student range of experience.
Besides giving valuable dramatic
training to the characters, such pre
sentations are sure to bring an in
creased number of visitors to our
campus each time, and consequently
a wider and better acquaintance for
Guilford.
Baseball and the Howling Mob
The opening of the baseball sea
son has already filled the student
body with enthusiasm. Hard prac
tice has been going on in spite of
the weather, and with practically all
of last season's players at their reg
ular positions and some valuable
new men the indications are that the
Quakers are going to put into the
field a team that deserves praise.
The schedule provides for twenty
one game, including every important
college in the state as well as sev
eral in Virginia. This will be the
first time for several years that Guil
ford has met Carolina and some of
the other stronger institutions of the
state.
Now is our opportunity in base
ball. Our team is strong and is
working hard. However, not as hard
as it will work when the students
get behind it with better organized
support and a little more personal
interest. It is our team and our
victory if it wins. The SEjme old
spirit that sent the basketball team
through a successful year will do
the same for baseball so let's begin
early.
We don't want to make cheering
too mechanical. We want to feel it.
But there is a decided need for
more organized yells and songs.
This means that there must be some
leaders who are willing to assume
the responsibility. There are three
or four students outside of the
Senior class who have took the
lead sometime, but in order to sup
port our team as it should be sup
ported a cheer leader and some
assistant should be elected. Now
is the time to back our boys for they
are out for the victory and they
have got the pep.
"Shave and a Hair-cut"
Visitors are appreciated at the
college more than they were a week
ago, for last Friday was clean-up
day. Now the leaves, sticks, and
dead limbs are all removed and the
grass has a chance to grow. With
a few more warm spring days we
are going to have one of the most
beautiful places to be found any
where.
Even though biology, French, and
a few more equally interesting sub
jects were postponed for the day,
the splendid co-operation and hard
work entered into by both facultv
and students made it a splendid ex
pression of college life at Guilford.
It is often repeated that college
students are a select group of young
people who have come to college to
be trained for future service. This
service is to be found in the commu
nity life, the home, school and
church. It follows that if we are to
become leaders or intelligent fol
lowers in our home churches that we
must cultivate our religious nature.
Certainly theere are many ways of
doing this and no opportunity
should be permitted to pass by un
heeded. The question which natur
ally comes here is: "Are Guilford
students availing themselves of all
opportunities?"
If you wish an answer to this
problem, look over the church for
a few Sunday mornings to see if
all college students are present. No
doubt you have already been struck
by the fact the number of college
girls and boys is rather small.
] Probably you have been wondering
- what is the reason for the absence
j of so many.
There seems to be a growing tend
ency among Guilford students, to
| spend Sunday morning in the dor
mitories. A few decide after the
Sunday-school that it would be more
| pleasant to stay at home. Others
j still find it so much nicer to
I sleep or read than to go to the
j church that they are seldom found
there.
Why such a tendency should arise
J is not so easy to be decided, for,
I dare say, practically all our
students have been accustomed to
attend church each Sunday at home.
Why should we when we get to
college consider ourselves good
enough to get along without church
services, or why should we become
too lazy or indifferent to attend?
Here we are certainly not forced
to listen to a long, thundering,
puritanical discourse, but are very
fortunate in having interesting ser
mons.
College students like freedom but,
as Harry Emerson Fosdick says,
"Real freedom never consists in
mere release from all restraints;
freedom is the positive substitution
of inward self-control for external
restraints." It is pointed out that we
are becoming a nation of non-church-
THE GUILFORDIAN
goers. The faculty do not count
us each Sunday or enforce any
rigid rules to make us go. Never
theless, ought we not to remember
that even though we are not being
looked cifter like small children,
that it is for'our ultimate good that
we go to church? We should attempt
to cultivate among us a sentiment
for one hundred per cent attend
ance. If the students cannot do
this, then it is time that the author
ities should take the matter up.
What are you going to do about it
next Sunday?
QUAKER QUIPS
Taking a glance at the baseball
schedule published in last week's
Guilfordian, we would suggest to
the faculty that any one who makes
the team and still passes his work
be given his degree immediately.

In spite of all we can say to
the contrary, foreigners persist in
calling this springtime. Chickens
are hatched, spring-cleaning is
suggested, and a native of the mid
dle west has even gone so far as
to lease the library porch for a.
summer camp.
However, we think if the library
porch is to be used for sleepers,
that it would be advisable to install
curtains..

Promoters of clean-up day could
outsell Hutchinson with a new one
entitled "If Summer Comes."

A headline referring to the play
in the last edition of the Guilfordian
asks "Whose Afraid?" We venture
to say that it's those "Twinkling
stars" so kindly referred to in the
next line.

They have passed; the three live
ghosts.

The Sh-s-s in the last Guilfordian
may be applied to the method of
the High Point-Guilford College
campaign. However, it seems they
are Sh-s-s-ing the quota over the
top.

Spring is a wonderful season,
with mid-terms sprouting on every
hand.
# # *
Only two quizzes popped during
the season of Lent. Conscientions
faculty?

"March-hatched chicks are strong
er than those hatched in April."
Probably because gymnastics are
discontinued at Easter. But you
could give them spring tennis.

Every fifty-five minutes we think
of the seniors.

The worst thing about the time
system is the rising bell.

week:
Fair and warmer; rain and cool

about five times a day.
