DR. PERISHO RESUMES WORK
ON ENDOWMENT CAMPAIGN
VISITS MANY CITIES OF STATE
Doctor E. C. Perisho has arrived
at the college to resume his active
work on the Endowment Campaign
for $375,000 to be raised this winter.
He has plunged immediately into
the work and hopes to bring the
campaign to a successful close some
time before the first of March.
Doctor Perisho went to his home
state, South Dakota, in the later
part of summer and lectured for six
weeks to the teachers of that state.
He was under the supervision of the
State Department of Education and
traveled extensively over the state,
delivering educational lectures six
days in the week for these six
weeks. Doctor Perisho has held
this position for many years and
returns annually to South Dakota
for these lectures.
He returns to Guilford with much
enthusiasm and expresses his pleas
ure in being able to return again
to the College for work in its in
terest.
"Guilford has a great future, and
I am always glad to be back
and to do my part to add to her
advancement," he said.
The advancement of the Endow
ment campaign claims his atten
tion at present and he is visiting
the various cities in North Carolina
with the idea of binding more
closer together the Alumni of the
College, and the organization of
the campaign work. He went to
High Point on November 20 and
and remained there until the 22nd.
The goal of $60,000 set tor that
city is rapidly approaching a close.
From High Point, Doctor Perisho
went to Winston-Salem to resume
tie campaign work there. While
there he addressed the Kiwanis Club.
V jton-Salem has been allotted
$20,000 of the $375,000 to he raised

•
Harrell Grabs Wofford and
Runs For Touchdown
In one of the most sensational
battles that the Guilford football
1 warriors have engaged themselves!
in this year, the Quaker grid artists
j lost to Wofford 10-6. This was the
last game of the season and accord
ing to the pre dope peddlers the
South Carolina terriers were sched
uled to win by a comfortable score
but their lone touchdown was a
monument to the fight that Guilford
put up.
A sensational 70-yard sprint by |
Harrell, Guilford guard, in the final
quarter gave the Quakers their touch
down and put them in the running.
| From that time on until the final
| whistle sounded, the Quakers kept
the ball deep in Wofford territory, j
but couldn't develop the final punch
j to put it over for the touchdown
that might have meant victory.
| Wofford, coached by "Rip" Ma
jor, celebrated Auburn star, was ex
pected to win by a comfortable
margin, but after a fruitful second
quarter, was unable to do anything j
to the Guilford defense. A young
ster named Hoole, captain of the
Terriers, was responsible for the i
invaders' scoring, but, as fate would
have it, it was his mental error
that resulted in a Guilford touch
j down.
"Boner'" is Touchdown
On the fourth down and with
four yards to go, this play called
for a forward pass. It was launch
t ed and then intercepted by Harrell.
who, thanks to Block Smith's superb
interference, ran the 70 yards un
tackled and practically unhindered
Smith deserves almost as much
praise as Harrell, for without his
defense of the runner, the dash would
most certainly have been a short
one.
But back to Hoole, who was re
moved from the game because of
his error. The first quarter ended
with the ball on Guilford's 20-yard
line. A short pass, three line plun
ges and then a pass from Gait to
Hoole put over the touchdown early
in the second period. After play
was resumed an attempted punt by
Lassiter was partly blocked and the
ball was declared free. Wofford
recovered on the 30-yard line and
! after unsuccessful attempts to dent
the Quaker line, Hoole dropped
back to the 35-yard line and sent;
placement kick squarely between the
goal posts for three points. Afte>
his touchdown he dropkicked for
the seventh point, so the young man
did all the Wofford scoring.
Guilford relied almost exclusively
on an aerial attack and Mcßane's
throwing was very good. The re
ceiving was off color, however, and
he got only a small part of his
40 attempted passes completed. Las
siter's punting was very good, he

ALDMNI EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
MEETS TO MAKE PLANS FOR
SPRING JUDILEF. CELEDRATION
I The Executive committee and the
Campaign committee of the Alumni
association met in conjunction with
C. C. Smithdeal, president of the as
sociation on Sunday afternoon, Nov
ember 17, at Founders Hall, to dis
cuss the Endowment campaign; a
campaign for 100% membership in
the Alumni association; plans for
the "Jubilee Celebration" to be held
at Commencement.
Membership Campaign
Plans for a campaign to get a
100% membership of the Alumni

start arrangements immediately to
secure new members. Representa
tives from each graduating class wer e
appointed by Mr. Smithdeal and of
ficial notices of the appointment
were mailed out by R. L. Newlin, ]
secretary, on Monday. It was
| thought that by securing a certain

cate with the members of their class,
a more systematic and comprehen
sive solcitation for membership
would be effected. A meeting of
I these persons appointed is called
for the second Sunday in December,
the 9th. at 2 o'clock, at Founders
Hall.
Campaign Development
The Endowment campaign has
gotten fully under way again on the
arrival of Doctor E. C. Perisho,
who has charge of the field work
of the organization. It is planned to
bring the campaign to a close about
j the first of February, 1924. The
various cities in which the Alumni
! are situated in large numbers are
now being visited by Doctor Perisho.

Philomatheans Entertained
by the Henry Clay Society
' Historical Program Presented
In the Biennial
Reception
HISTORY BOOK PROGRAMS
Thanksgiving Dinner At Home
Of Henry Clay Staged
Once again the members of the
Henry Clay Literary Society have
given evidence if their ability as
entertainers and hosts when on Fri
day evening, November the sixteenth,
the Philomatheans were their guests
at their regular program held at
Memorial Hall.
History Book
The programs, which were handed
to the guests just before they enter
ed the Hall, prepared them for an
evening's entertainment full of his
torical and literary interest but did
not fully prepare them for the uni
que and masterly way in which it
was presented. The programs were
clone in brown and white compli
mentary to the Philomathean colors
and were gotten up in the form of
a volume of United States History.
The chapter re-enacted was one in
which is recorded an account of a
banquet given by Henry Clay at his
home in Washington, on Thanks-
I giving Day, 1833. The following
statesmen and men of letters were
present as indicated in the cast of
characters:
President Jackson, Russell Bran
son: John Quiney Adams, Earl Cum
mings: Daniei Webster, William
Blair; Robert Y. Hayne, French
Smith; John Greenleaf Whittier.
Marvin Shore; Henry W. Longfel
low. Frank Crutchfield; John C.
Calhoun, James Joyce; Nathaniel
Hawthorne, John Reynolds; Ralph
Waldo Emerson, Robert Marshall;
lieniy Clay, Edwr.rd Holder.
Characteristic
The men, dressed in costumes char
acteristic of the time and of the
men they represented, were seated
around the banquet table which was
effectively lighted with candles and
decorated with the American flag.
The appearance of the stately butler
in the person of Reid Barbee added
to the effectiveness of the setting.
Debate
Henry Clay, as toastmaster, told
his guests that he had called them
together for the purpose of cele
brating the 12th anniversary of the
feast of the Pilgrim Fathers and in
the hope that each would express
his opinion in regard the national
questions pending at the time. In
response to his introductions each
man present replied with a char
acteristic speech familiar to the
students of America history, all bear
ing upon some phase of the questions
and problems then confronting the
nation. William Blair and French
Smith were especially good in their
re-enactment of the famous Senate
house debate between Daniel Webs
ter and Robert Hayne, the hot-head
ed young Senator from South Caro
lina, on the slavery question.
John Webb Cannon, the president
of the Henry Clays made a speech
of welcome to the guests to which
the following Philomatheans re
sponded. Elizabeth Brooks, Marie

MAUDE SIMPSON RETURNS
FROM PRESS CONVENTION
WITH MANY NEW IDEAS
Semi-Annual Convention Is Held
At Trinity College
Maude Simpson who was elected
by the Guilfordian board to repre
sent it at the semi-annual North
Carolina intercollegiate press asso
ciation which was held at Trinity
has returned and is bubbling over
with the enthusiasm which she ac
quired there. Below is her story of
the affair.
The possibilities of the college
publications was the theme for study
and discussion of the seventh semi
annual convention.
Professor James Cannon,of Trinity
College made a brief though very
instructive speech, on what college
publications should consist of, at the
opening session of the convention.
The college publication said Mr.
Cannon, should provide for two
definite things; first: it should furn
ish ample opportunity for the ex
pression of the student body. At
this first session the delegates were
welcomed to Trinity by Dr. W. H.
Wannamaker, Dean of Men, and Mrs.
Z. B. V ance, acting Dean of Women.
During the convention the Trinity-
Col lege doors were thrown open to
the delegates and everyone was made
to feel at home.
"Headline writing for College pub
lications" was discussed by Mr.
Keener of the Durham Herald. In
opening his speech, Mr. Keener
stated that it was impossible to con
form to any stereotyped form of
headline writing. This must be
left entirely to the discretion of the
writer. The headline writer can
employ two methods of writing head
lines. One is to make the headline
fit, whether it conveys any meaning
to the casual observer or not. The
other is to make the headline tell
the whole story. In regard to ab
breviating in headline writing Mr.
Keener said:
"I always tell my headline writers
