He has nothing to kick, but many things to commend, so we will risk it unsaid. However, the editor recommends vari. ous other articles in the paper for your careful reading, some are worthy of it and some are not. You're the judge. It is 1:30 and we have ceased to have the faculty of judging. "FATHERS AND MOTHERS AT MERCY OF THEIR CHILDREN" "Fathers and mother are at the mercy of their children," says Dr. Bin ford. This statement, made in a recent chapel talk, has become of profound interest to the speaker. The reason for such intense interest is found in the following statement by the speaker; "It is in the power of the son to lift his father to the joys of heaven or to push him down into the jaws of hell." Immediately following this he gave two examples, to illus trate. The first was of an old gentle man proudly viewing the great suspen sion bridge that connects Brooklyn with New York. He was a proud old gentle man because it was his son who had pictured in his mind every detail of that superstructure, and had made that picture a reality. This old gentleman was living his life anew in his son. He had been raised to the joys of heaven. The other example was of an other old gentleman who sat on the street corner asking alms. He was there because his son was a drunkard and a man so infected with disease that he could never be the father of whole some children. The old gentleman had been pushed down into the jaws of hell and was being made to suffer because of his son. The father's life is wrapped up in his son. On his son he is made either to live his life anew or he is made to suffer untold disappointment. So it is there fore not surprising to hear the father who has achieved much, say, "What's it all worth when my son is a fool?" It is thus that fathers and mothers are at the mercy of their children. The full significance of this fact should touch in a most vital way every young life on Guilford's campus. "What state do you live in?" asked the teacher of the primary geography class. And Elmer, thinking of his Sunday school catechism, promptly re plied, "In a state of sin and misery." —Brown and Wkite "Do you love me," said the paper bag to the sugar. "I'm just wrapped up in you," re. plied the sugar. — Trinity Chronicle. Mother—Did that young man put his arms around you last night? Daughter—Yes,, mother, three times. Mother—Heavens! What long arms. Thanksgiving In Retrospect Impressions received on the Annual Dormitory Revue THIS SIDE Thanksgiving day was an eventful one, not only because the powers that be forsook the usual menu, and substi tuted roast chicken with stuffing, cream ed potatoes and peas, celery and block ice cream; but mostly because for one short hour the weaker but undoubtedly fairer sex was allowed to cut bounds and explore Cox and Arcade. Besides visiting that domain—sacred to masu linity—all other events were as naught; for now we may boast that we know how college boys keep house. If we were not inured by three years of college life to this annual day, we might have been incredulous and mystified—for certainly ordinary men never inhabited those spotless rooms! However, not being a novice at this ourselves, and having observed the window washing, rug beating, scrubbing, general uplieav el of furniture and other astonishing and extraordinary manifestations of house cleaning going on for two days prior to Thanksgiving—we accepted facts calmly, and even ran a surrep titious finger over table tops for tell tale signs of dirt. Not that we found any, though! Cox hall had house-clean ed, and when Cox hall begins this mo mentous rite, one should know by ex perience that dust, dirt and microbes arc nil (that is unless one cares to ex plore into supposed inconspicuous and sheltered places.) Anyway, both Cox and Archdale were scrubbed and dusted into a state of painful cleanliness, bordering on per fection. The rooms at Cox are larger and more airy than ours at Founders, and the boys had spared neither time nor thought to make them attractive. Indeed, after seeing the large rugs and easy chairs, not to mention pictures and pennants (hat were in most of the rooms, our couriosity threatened to get the most of us. Where do they get them! One girl suggested that per haps each boy raided his respective home a week before Thanksgiving, and confiscated his father's easy chair, the guest room rug and all the window curtains. Bibles were conspicuously in evidence and we looked in vain for any secular reading matter. Not even an "Ameri can" was to be seen! Boys are espec ially fond of pictures and pennants, and one boy had the four corners of his room covered with portraits of several fair divinities, who smiled down co quetishly at us. One and all had their girl's picture on the dresser; some had the w-liole family. One freshman even devoted the whole right hand corner of his mirror to snap shots of a small pet donkey. These pictures stood in conspicuous places, flanked by Hines Honey and Almond Cream and bottles of Stay-Comb. Powder was also in evidence, even though the men do deny it! Each girl marveled and gushed over the exceptionally good house keeping the boys displayed (although all save the freshmen probably knew that the spotless order of hings was only tem porary) and ate the candies and nuts that several darling souls had provided, and said lots of flattering things. We hope the dear men were properly de ceived—any way they didn't let on. Perhaps they told the same things to the girls later on. But we'll leave that to Mr. Max Kendall to report. We under stand he's the one to tell on the girls. C.S. *26 ZATASIANiS ENTERTAIN (Continued from page one) Wilmer Steele responded on the part of the guests to the welcome of the Zata sian President. The critic's report by Miss Cannon concluded the formal part of the reception. The society then adjourned to Found ers hall where delightful refreshments were served, and a social hour was en joyed. The guests in addition to the Web sterians were Miss Katherine Ricks, Mrs. Levering, Prof, and Mrs. L. Lea White, Coach Robert Doak, Mr. Landis, Mr. Ormand of the State College, Ad dison Smith, '24, and Wendell Cude, '24, both former Websterians. THE GUILFORDIAN THAT SIDE At 5:30 o'clock, after each couple j had conquered seven miles of distance { or had been on exhibition in the "show case" the visit to New Garden hall Was in order. The gallant swain invaded the "dorm" with the intention of seeing | who was who and came away with the ; conviction that they (the boys., were I not, especially good in the arts of j collecting! Large exhibitions of the lat ter were noticable. Candy and mints j helped some hostess in entertaining while others met ''nuts" with "nuts." j Parking and sparking laws were violat ed but the traffic cops were not present, thanks to the spirit of the Pilgrim fathers. At six o'clock the Thanksgiving Post j Office was opened in the Guilfordian I room and the guests, upon entering Founders received invitations to visit the second and third floors, where the Founders girls waited to receive them. They were assigned to different j groups where hostesses served sand wiches, cakes, apples, and cocoa. The visiting was much the same as in New Garden hall, only for a longer period of time, which gave time for a closer inspection of the domiciles, in- | eluding the photographs. All too soon the social committee i made a raid on the masculine guests and they were ushered to the first floor ; where a general social furnished amuse ment until 10:30 o'clock when the gen tlemen of the party were again shown the door. Thus ended a Perfect Day. j M. K. '27 CECIL ROBERTS, NOTER POET (Continued from page one) arise from situations and scenes, or from the experiences, emotions, suffer- \ ings of the author. The Greek poets claimed inspiration from the gods, j Men really do become inspired. One j can so concentrate that he becomes in j instrument for the cosmic intelligence, i The prophet and poet have thus got in 'tunc with the infinite'." Mr. Roberts next gave a graphic de- J scription of the glories of the past in Venice, the history of the bronze horse j of San Marco cathedral, the wonderfully : beautiful reflection of sunset glories on the lagoons of Venice, the picturesque i fishing fleet of former Venitian days j with their sails of scarlet, crimson, gold, and ultramarine. He said that the [ charm and beauty of the olden time is passing away with the advent of the motor boat and other modern inven tions. This scene of wonder and of ; beauty was the basis of The Sails of j Sunset, a novel by Mr. Roberts. "The creative faculty has something | of mystery," asserted Mr. Roberts, "for I when one has chosen a title, or when one j has written the first few lines of a j poem, ihe whole work seems to have | been created in the mind. One always j feels that when the work is thus begun , it can be successfully completed." The speaker then related the circum stances from which his poem, The , Young Priest of Saint Ambrosio arose, j One moonlight night as he passed a church in a little Italian village near j the Adriatic, the situation, the little church square flanked by olive and 1 cypress trees, the sudden appearance of the sable-clad figure of the priest so moved him that he seemed transported to another world, and out of this dra matic situation sprang the poem. Per haps the best characterization in this poem which he read to the audience is the description of the priest, "A shadow midst the olives in the moonlight." He concluded with an interesting ac count of the rise of the Facisti to power, the reason for their origin, the melodra matic meeting of King Victor Emanuel and Mussolini, now Primier of Italy. This appeal of the melodramatic strong ly influences the Italian mind. It is the great appeal in the novel, for "the novelist has the art of creating charac ters with human joys and sorrows; of placing these characters in dramatic or melodramatic situations and success fully extricating them. The novelist makes the reader see himself as the character, so he enjoys the success of the hero or heroine as his own, thus the novel completes life." J.M.HENDRIX&CO. SHOES :: 223 S.
