EDITORIAL The Glee Club Four years ago a few men on the campus started the Guilford College Glee Club. Later the orchestra was or ganized. These two organizations have been working harmoniously together and this year have produced a program which is of the very highest type. Some critics say that the quality of tone and balance of the club cannot be equalled by any other club of similar size in the state. Last week the club gave a concert each night in towns scattered over the state. We have heard excellent reports from these plac es. Some say, "You never saw a more clean cut and gentlemanly bunch of fellows.'" Other reports say, '"They put on an entertainment of the highest type." The High Point Enterprise had a very complimentary article on the program presented in that city. We are proud of the work that the Glee Club is doing and the reputation they are making reflects much credit upon the organization and upon the college which it represents. Little Things A man lives only half his personality; the other half is rays shed upon others, who live it out for him. These rays are a mixture of little acts done uncon sciously; little statements made and forgotten; little nods of the head, lifts of the hand, or maybe merely the kindly twinkle of the eye. Little things though small within ihemselves go to make everything thai is larger. One brick cannot make a house but fifty thousand make a good one. The dis tant hoot of an owl though small and insignificant generally, on a lonely night might inspire t..e penning of a volume; while a feu notes from a mockingbird might, when given at the right time, build up or overthrow a nation. To such heights are men's passions keyed sometimes. Any one can do good deeds but a mighty man indeed is he who doeth no evil ones. All truly great men's little acts are good at times, yei great indeed is he whose little acts are all good; whose nature is so per fi ;cd that he thinketh no evil, which is vastly greater and better than doing none.—Anon.

Annie Wagoner will play the role of Ellen, the housekeeper, and Chandos Kimrey will essay the part of Mary, sister of the tragic Moonyeen. The scenery for the play will be one of the lovely features —and will be en tirely new, depicting a garden scene of the ante-bellum days. A large back drop is being painted especially for the scene. The designing of costumes suitable for a moonlight wedding of 1850 has been given over to Miss Kopf—and she has promised to make this scene one of beauty. Elwood Peele will have charge of the lighting effects. THE PERISCOPE By Beulah Allen THROUGH COLLEGE ON PERMA-j NENT WAVES.— This is (lie title of an article appearing in The Kansas City Star, which describes how Jose phine Long, of Enid, Okia. is making j her way through Kansas University. ; An unquenchable desire for a uni versity education brought Jospehine Long to the university two years ago with only a few dollars in her purse. She found employment in a beauty par lor and began working her way through college. A few months later she went into business for herself. Today Miss Long owns the largest beauty shop in town, attends the uni versity regularly, owns her own motor car. has purchased a player piano, helps to support her family, and is planning a trip around the world after she re ceives her degree.—The American Cam pus. Drastic reorganization plans, involv ing the elimination of the first two year of undergraduate work and devo tion of the university entirely to grad uate study and research was announced by President Goodnow of Johns Hop kins University at the celebration of the forty-ninth anniversary of that in stitution, February 23.—New Student. The Cadet Orchestra at V. M. I. has secured an engagement to play on the Cunard Liner, S. S. Berengaria, this summer. After landing in Europe the orchestra will play at a number of fashionable resorts before making the return trip. Dick: ''Jean, you are the breath of my life." Jean: "Well, how long can you hold your breath?" A man went into Cohen's bookstore and asked: "Have you a copy of 'Who's Who and What's What,' by Jerome K. Jerome?" Cohen replied: "No, sir; but we got 'Who is He, and Vat's He Got?' by Bradstreet." THE BELLS I Please excuse us, Mr. Poe- Hear the loud, alarming bells— Breakfast Bells! What a tale of terror, now, their tur bulency tells From out a cozy land of dreams Girls are wakened by their screams, Too cold to even speak, Fhey can only slowly creep— Out of bed. They .shiver and their teeth do chatter, chattter, As in mad expostulation with the icy radiator, With a desperate desire And a resolute endeavor Now—now to sit or never— At that table and be fed. Oh, the bell, bells, bells! What a tale their terror tells Of despair! How ihev clang and clash and roar, What a horror they outpour On the bosoms of the palpitating girls. Vet the ear it fully knows By the clanging And the twanging .low the "zip" it ebbs and flows; Yet the ear distinctly tells In the pangling and the wrangling How the hash, it sinks and swells i i iking and swelling of the bells, How tliev hurry, hurry, hurry, How they scurry, scurry, scurry, To be first to get there Ere their schoolmates eat it all. How their hunger swells and swells— Gosh-damed bells! —The Florida Flambeau. The calf is an extremely valuable farm product. From it we get veal, gelatin, shoes, liver and onions, and 95 per cent of the chicken salad served in restaurants. Ruby: "Why is that man so bow-leg ged? Clemont Ivey: You shouldn't say bow-legged, you should say, why does that man wear his pantaloons in par entheses? Average Student: I'm so broke I call money "John," I'm not familiar enough with it to call it "Jack" THE GUI L F ORDIAN ALUMNI NOTES Two Sustaining Funds By Emma G.. King j Most, if not all the Alumni, and pro | bably others, who contributed to our j Sustaining Fund in 1921 and 1922. be ] lieved that the plan was a new one for i ibis institution. However, an accounl j of a sustaining fun begun in 1848 has ] recently been found, and it may be of j interest to make some comparison of the two. In 1844 the "Common Fund" was established, the interest of which was to be applied "to reduce the price of an English education in the Boarding School." To supplement this fund, at the Yearly Meeting of 1848, the amount of $2,000.00 was subscribed to be paid in ten year installments as a sustain ing fund for the operation of the school. Among the papers of Elihu E. Menden hall, treasurer of this fund at the end of the ten year period, is the subscrip tion list, and a number of the original notes given by the subscribers. One of these is as follows: $1.50 1 promise to pay annually for ten years, or during life, to Joseph Newlin, Treas. of Common Fund for the benefit of New Garden [ School, One and 50-100 Dollars. 11 mo, 1848. Joshuar Reynolds (Seal.) The amounts in almost every case | were small but the list of subscribers is a long one, — both men and women whose names are familiar to the pres ent generation of Friends. As is true ! of the recent sustaining fund, -the | Trustees, and the "Woman's Commit tee," (the predecessor of the present Advisory Board), are found among the subscribers. Many names of those whose subscription in 1837 has been mentioned occur again. The following are only some of the names which oc cur: Joseph Newlin, Jeremiah Pickett, (then spelled Piggott), Nixon Henley, Lewis Starbuck, Amos Stuart, Nathan F. Spencer,—all Trustees of the school -—James Mendenhall, Owen Lindley, : David Moffitt, Daniel Barker, Joseph IR. Parker, David Henley, William Clark, Josiah Nicholson, Timothy Nicli | olson, Himelius Hockett, Micajah Hill, | William 8., Thomas and Levi Hollo ! well, and the first matron of the school. Ascenath ('lark (daughter of Nathan | Hunt), Anna Benbow, Mary Hoskins. and Delphitia Mendenhall, who were on | (lie school committee, Phebe Stanley, j Armelia Footer, Elizabeth Cox (mother ! of J. Elwood and Dr.. J. J. Cox and I Mary E. Cartlandl, Eliza Lindley and I Minerva Mendenhall. j The recent sustaining fund (as con- I tributed by Trustees, Advisory Board, i and other individuals) was first sug | gested by Walter E. Blair '9B, one of our most loyal alumni, a Trustee since : 1919. To this fund the Trustees them | selves (and live of that body are our ; own graduates- gave during the two college years, 19 Jl-22 and 1912-23, 14,500.00, (lie Advisory Board $750.00. and a number of persons, both Alumni and other friends of the college a con siderable amount. Of the forty-one sub scribers in addition to the Trustees and Advisory Board there were seven of our faculty. Four former students, all from one family are included in the list. It is well for those of us who have left the college and those who are still i students to remember that although we may pay all the charges made by the ; college, we really do not pay for our 1 education. For it is only by means of i the endowment, and by the sustaining funds that have so far been contributed that the college is able to maintain its ; various departments. At the present | time students in Guilford College pay one-third of the actual cost of their in struction. In this connection we make a state -1 ment concerning the Sustaining Fund ! given by North Carolina Yearly Meet ! ing for the past three years, and con | tinued a part of its regular budget—a fact that may not be known to all of us. | For the college year 1921-22 the Yearly j Meeting gave thru its Forward Move ment Committee $2,250.68; and for 1922-23 and 1923-24 sums of $2,794.16 and $2,142.98 respectively. j J.M.HENDRIX&CO. j SHOES X 223 S.
