ORIGINAL PLAN FOR THE
NEW GARDEN 00AR0ING
SCHOOL UNEARTHED HERE
ANCIENT DOCUMENT WAS A DREAM
OF THE PRESENT GUILFORD
By Kenneth Neese
Age worn and yellow, the original
copy of the plan for the New Garden
Boarding School, adopted by the New
Garden Yearly Meeting, November 7th,
1832, has recently emerged from the
decay of years, much frayed and much
worn. It is impossible to read all the
copy on account of its worn and frayed
edges, therefore, several words and
sometimes whole sentences are neces
sarily ommitted from the new copy.
In the records of the New Garden
Yearly Meeting, there are several nota
tions of discussions, and appointments
concerning a boarding school: and fi
nally on November 7th, 1832 the follow
ing is recorded:
"The committee appointed last year to
prepare a plan for the Boarding School,
produced one which was read and ap
proved and the sum of 115,000 was pro
posed to be raised by subscription to
aid in putting it in operation. The clerk
is directed to furnish each Quarterly
Meeting with a copy of the plan."
The plan proposed that the Yearly
Meeting purchase a farm with some
buildings, which with some additions
would do for a Boarding school of 40 or
50 students. It gave much detail about
the location of the school, the use of the
farm, with insertion that there must be
a "dry, cleanly and healthy situation;"
and the plan for securing teachers. The
Quartrly Meetings were to have charge
of the school, to employ teachers, and
each to furnish two men to compose a
committee who would visit the school
monthly. Christian principles, religious
conduct, and good order in the institu
tion were stressed. Board and tuition
was to be $50.00, one fourth paid in ad
vance and the remainder in quarterly
payments. None but the members of
the society of Friends and their child
ren were admitted. No children were to
be permitted to enter under five years
of age.
As for the Rules and Regulations, the
superintendent Was to have charge of
everything. He must "govern the family
of the institution, keep accounts of ex
penditures, direct work on farm, keep
the boys and girls separate, ex
cept at meetings of worship; open and
examine all letters sent by the students
to any other than parents or guardians."
and numerous other duties. At his dis
cretion "brother and sisters would be
permitted to converse with each other
at suitable Each student
must be in school three months before
he or she may go home or visit .neigh
bors. A very detailed account of the ap
plication of time for the students is
given.
On waking in the morning the child
ren are told "to turn their minds inward
and wait upon the Great Creator." As
detailed instructions they read: "wash
your face and hands, comb your hair,
and attend to decency and cleanlijiess in
your apparel and proceed downstairs
without unnecessary noise; to endeavor
to sit still; to refrain from laughing,
talking, whispering or making a noise
with your feet; to be careful or conduct;

WINIFRED CRAMP TELLS OF
EUROPEAN YOUTH MOVEMENT
ADDRESS JOINT MEETING OF "Y
IN ADOPTED COSTUME OF
MOVEMENT
Miss Winifred Cramp, dressed in the
costume which the girls of the youth
movement in Germany have adopted as
a kind of national garb, spoke to the
joint meeting of the Y.W. and Y.M.C.
A. Thursday evening. Miss Cramp has
spent sometime in Germany and has
wandered with groups of the Youth
Movement and is perhaps the greatest
authority on this subject of any speak
er who has visited and spoken to the
students, of this new order in Germany.
"The Youth Movement," began Miss
Cramp, "started in Germany fourteen
years before the war started. It was a
protestation of the school girls and boys
against the school and religious systems.
They were known by the name, "Wan
dering Birds.'" When the war came,
although opposed to war, they fought
for their country, and after the war
closed and they returned to their homes,
a meeting was held on a hill and they

FORMALIEDICATIOTOF
ARCHOALE QUAKER CHURCH
Samuel L. Haworth, head of the de
partment of Education of Guilford re
turned to High Point on last Sunday
to deliver an inspiring sermon to the
members of the Friends Church of
High Point in the absence of Rev. Tom
Sykes. Mr. Haworth was for five years
pastor at this church and his return
for a visit was gladly welcomed.
Mr. Sykes, the regular pastor of the
Friends church of that city was invited
to preach the dedicatory sermon for the !
new Friends church of Archdale, N. C.,
just south of High Point. Miss Clara
I. Cox, daughter of J. Elwood Cox,
chairman of the Board of Trustees of
Guilford College, is, and has been pas
tor of this meeting for several years.
The Dedicatory services were very im
pressive, and largely attended.
Ihe Archdale Monthly meeting was
"'set up" last summer, and the comple
tion of the new church is helping to
establish more widely the influence of
the Quakers. The church is of the
established Friends church design;
Grecian lines, and built of brick, with
fluted columns.

MISS ELIZABETH PARKER
Miss Elizabeth Parker, head of the
Physical Education for Women at Guil
ford, has introduced during her two years
at Guilford a keen enthusiasm and in
terest in athletics for the women. She
very successfully instituted Hockey as
the girl's major sport in the fall, and
her reorganization of the entire women's
athletic system has met with excellent
response. At present, her class teams
in basketball are claiming an unusual
amount of attention on the campus.
CARRIE'S "PETER PAN"
LAST MOVIE OF YEAR
Last Saturday night Barrie's '"Peter
Pan played at the college to a small
, but appreciative audience with Betty
Bronson as the wistful, elfin Peter. Con
i sidering the fact that this picture took
New Yory by storm playing simul
taneously at the Rivoli and Rialto the
atres all during the Christmas season;
Guilford was fortunate in procuring it
here as a part of the college entertain
ment.
Barries immortal whimsey was first
produced in 1905 with Maude Adams in
the title role, and so popular did this
magical nursery play prove that crowds
i waited in the falling snow at the stage
door after each performance just for a
glimpse of Miss Adams as she went to
her carriage.
Concerning the present performance,
the Literary Digest of Jan. 17 quotes
the following:
j "It is no easy thing in these days of
artificial and shallow pictures, of cyni
cal ami hypercritical audiences, for a
director to work such magic as this.
That Herbert Brenon has done this is
of course primarily due to Sir James
Barrie, whose whimsey he has made a
pliable medium for his working. It was
in Mr. Brenon's power to make of it
nothing at all. Many directors would
have. But by surrounding himself with
a troop of players capable of reading
Barrie's imagination into their parts
obviously enjoying their playing to the
full, by sympathetic astuteness, and a
delectable fancy of his own he has
made 'Peter Pan' a really superb pic
ture. There was no mistake in select
ing Miss Betty Bronson to portray
Peter. She may not disguise the fact
that she is a girl; she does not need to,
for she has caught the soul of the wist
ful boy and the eternal youth of him.
George Ali, as Nana, the mournful dog
nurse, is delightful. Each rolling of
those sombre eyes, each turn of the ex
pressive paws is inimitably xlroll, and
somehow infinitely pathetic. Nana
might have been made more comical,
and thereby have provoked more laugh
ter. But it would not have been Bar
ries Nana, and the laughter would have
been too loud. I lie contented chuck

WIN FROM LENOIR AND SALISBURY
BUT FALL BEFORE DAVIDSON
AND WAKE FOREST
The Guilford basketball team closed
the season by two victories and two
losses during the past week. The Quak
ers met Wake Forest on the home court
Wednesday night and were defeated by
a count of 49-16. Then the quint took
a trip to the western part of the state,
where they met Lenoir-Rhyne Thursday
night and defeated the Lutherans 33-
14. On Friday night the Quaker quint
encountered the Davidson Wildcats, but
were defeated 49-18. The final game of
the trip and of the season was played
with the Salisbury "Y," and out of
which the Quakers came victorious by a
score of 38-32. Those making the trip
were Thomas, Ferrell, Frazier, R. Smith,
Sparger, Herring and Russell.
WAKE FOREST GAME
The Wake Forest cage artists won a
hard fought contest over the Quakers on
the home court Wednesday night by the
score of 49-16. The score, however,
does not indicate the fight that the two
teams put up in the contest. The local
team showed the greatest scrapping
spirit that it has exhibited this year.
The scrapping started from the very first
and neither team loosened up through
out the first half. When this canto
ended the score stood 12-8, with the
Quakers four points in the rear.
It was at the beginning of the second
period that the Baptists began their
great offensive game that literally swept
the local quint off their feet, and de
spite the terrific yelling from the gal
leries they continued to add point after
point to the large lead. They were ac
curate on their long shots and were also
successful in getting many "crip" shots.
The local team could not work as a
unit and were able to chalk up but
four points in the last lap. Daniel, cen
ter for Wake Forest, was going good
throughout. He was closely followed
by Greason whose ability to pierce the
magic hoop was excellent.
For the locals Ferrell, right forward,
and Herring, left guard, were the out
standing players.
Line-up:
Guilford Pos. Wake Forest
ferrell r.f. Emerson
Frazier l.f. Greason
Sparger c. Daniel
R. Smith r.g. Ober
Herring l.g. Vickers
DAVIDSON GAME
Davidson defeated the Guilford team
49-18 for the second defeat of the year.
From the very first the game was Dav
idson's though it was not until the sec
ond period that the Wildcats began
their heavy scoring. The first half end
ed with Davidson leading 21-10. Staley
was the big scorer for Davidson; he
alone scored a total of 14 points. Mc-
Connell's floor work featured during
the whole game. Rufus Smith was the
best man for Guilford. Sparger also
showed up well.
