NOTED ENGLISH FRIEND
SPEAKS ON RELIEF WORK
IN WAR-STRIGKEN AREAS
Joan M. Fry Tells of Conditions
After War and Stresses Need
of Further Support
The delegates to the general confer
ence of the Woman's Missionary union
of Friends in America, who were en
tertained by the local New Garden Mis
sionary society at a supper and pageant
on the Guilford college campus Sat
urday afternoon, were fortunate in hav
ing to address them. Dr. Joan M. Fry,
a noted English Friend anil member
of the English Friends relief force,
and a person who perhaps knows as
much about conditions in the central
countries following the war as anyone
who has visited this state.
The speaker was one of the first
outsiders who went into Germany fol
lowing the close of the war. She Went
to Berlin a few days after the peace
treaty was signed and has been active
in the relief work done by Friends in
Germany since. She spoke at length
upon the results of the blockade dur
ing the war. Clothing, food and health
conditions she stated were terrible
when she entered the country. At one
time there was no food for the child
ren to eat except turnips and a very
limited amount of other things. This
Vinter came to be known as the "tur
nip winter." Such conditions ruined
the health of the people and the re
sults are still to be seen in the weak
ened citizenry.
Miss Fry spoke of the hatred which

Under the direction of Rev. Joseph

Miss Laura Worth, an Indian Pageant
was staged on the college campus Fri
day afternoon for the entertainment of
the delegates of the Woman's Mission
ary Conference of American Friends
which is holding its triennial confer
ence in Greensboro.
The Pageant was a marked success
due to the competent supervision and
to the ability of those taking part in
it. The fact that one of the charac
ters, Phillip Frazier, was a full blooded
Sioux Indian also added to the in
terest of the pageant. The scene and
costumes were typical of live Indian
camp.
On the first scene the Red men were
gathered around the campfire discuss
ing whether or not they should send a
number of their braves in search of the
White Man's '"Book of Heaven," of
which they had heard about from the
"Pale Faces." They decided to send
five of their braves to the east in search
of the book in spie of the opposition
of their "Medicine Man."
On the second scene only one of the
braves returned, and without the book,
but with the promise that the white

GLEE CLUB PLEASES
GREENSBORO AUDIENCE
The Glee Club ended the most suc
cessful season of its existence Friday,
May 15. by giving a concert at the
Grand Theatre in Greensboro. The pro
i gram went off in Irue form and in
| the opinion of most. of the clubmen
it was the best program given this
year. Directed by Sam Keen the cho
| rus work was the outstanding part of
the program, the attack, release, and
| general interpretation being very much
better under a direction than has here
i tofore been the case. When the club
j sang without one.
The solos of Gurney Briggs who sang
in the informal grouping and in the
; Scotch and Sailor tableaus was es
. pecially well received by the large au-
I dience. The Indian scene which took
a loving cup at the Durham inter
collegiate Glee Club meet, made a hit
as usual and the dancing and singing
|of Alexander Pavlov captured the au
dience. The quartet, also a cup win
ner, was put on the regular glee club
concert program for the first time, and
received several encores to the sing
ing of their parody on the madrigal
"Now is the Month of Maying."
The concert was sponsored by Mrs.
J. C. Penny working through the two
Eastern Star organizations, and to her
goes much of the credit for the suc
cessful entertainment. A large 16 page
program was one of the results of her
efforts and this added greatly to the
financial success of the concert,
i Tliio performance ends the glee club
season. So "the tumult and the shout
ing dies" (this is written by one of
the members) but the "captains and
: the kings" have not departed and all
are looking forward to a successful sea
j son next year.
REV. MURPHY WILLIAMS
SPEAKS AT CHAPEL
Rev. Murphy Williams, of Muirs
Chapel, gave an inspirational address
before the student body at chapel last
Thursday morning. Rev. Williams pic
tured vividly the story of the three
spirits. Watching the planets and stars
being thrown from the hollow of God's
hand in the beginning of creation.
The first spirit exclaimed: "Let me
I have it." The second asked: "How
did he do it?" The third spirit fell
down upon his face and worshipped
God.

erlooks the better things in life, but
pursues only gold ond silver. The sec

In Festive Event
The Freshman-Sophomore picnic in
short was nothing less in any respect
than a great success.
The procession of hikers started from
Founders Hall at about 4:45 Tuesday
afternoon. Hamilton Lakes was the
destination and was reached after a
little walk of half an hour or so —
mostly so.
The Sophomores gave an entertain
ing and instructive program. It was
taken in by all Freshman as good ad
vice, at least it is presumable that such
was the case if expression on their
faces tell anything. Sydney Winslow
opened the program with a few wise
words of counsel to the future Soph
omores. He was followed by Raymond
Thomas who expressed the sentiments
of the present Sophomore class along
the same lines of the form of a few
more suggestions and recommendations.
Gilmer Sparger followed and in
creased the seriousness of the occasion
by a reading. It was well given, with
good expression and feeling.

GUILFORD HIGH SCHOOL
STAGES "NO TRESPASSING"
The Guilford College high school
dramatic club scored another success
Friday evening in the presentation of
Evelyn Gray Whiting's "No Trespass
ing" in Memorial Hall. The house
was filled and went away satisfied after
an evening of humorous entertainment.
The play was a drama in three acts,
the scenes of which were laid in the
living room of a farm home in New
England. The home was being used
as a summer resort for people of more
or less wealth. Around this the plot
was laid. Miss Bernice Thomas play
ed one of the leading roles as the
young lady living in the farm home
and trying to do a little "social climb
ing. With her, Henrietta Edgerton
played the part of the city girl, try

Quakers Fall Before Duke in the
Final Game of the 1925 Season
Griffin, Lindley and Taylor Led
the Team in Hitting
Duke University had little trouble in
defeating the Quakers Saturday after
noon by the score of 13 to 3 for the
last game of the year. This sound
drubbing administered by the Blue
Devils closed the season for Guilford,
this defeat being the most severe of
any during the past season.
Several familiar faces were out of
the Guilford line-up, including captain
Ferrell and Lefty Smith the brilliant
Quaker battery.
Lindley who is usually stationed at
first base was Coach Doaks' choice for
mound duty, he being replaced at first
by Taylor. Lindley's offering were hit
freely. A total of 18 hits being garn
ered off his delivery. Dempster and
Thomas the opposing hurlers pitched
creditable ball and were given better
support by teammates than was Lind
ley. Loose playing by Guilford helped
pile up the score.
Guilford made all of her runs in the
seventh inning when they bunched hits
off the delivery of Thomas and were
able to push over three runs. Lindley
and Taylor led in the hitting with two
singles, each while Griffin secured the
only extra base clout.

HONORS TO THE CLASS OF
'2B
In this issue many of its mem
bers make their formal debut
into the field of juuriialism;
they will probably be thrilled to
see themselves in print for the
first time. The editorial staff is
pleased with the results. The
greater part of the material in
this paper was written by fresh
men and a great deal of ma
terial was handed in which could
not be used because lack of
space would not permit.
GLEE CLUD IS HEARD

The Glee Club delightfully entertain
ed in chapel Thursday morning for the
last time before disbanding for the
year. The quartet composed of Messrs.
James Joyce, Ralph Landis, Samuel
Keen and Frank Crutchfield responded
to the encore given after the first song
and delighted the audience with their
humorous selections. The Glee Club
then concluded the program very ap
propriately by singing, "Hail, Dear Old
Guilford."

Both soloists were at their best and
gave excellent interpretations to every
number, especially in their arias.
These were done with feeling, and
showed an excellent command on the
part of the performers of the techni

Outside of his aria, Mr. Reynold's "I
Bring You Heartease" made the great
est impression of the audience, and
Mrs. Winsor's "Der Lindenbaum" was
especially well done.

ed, great weight was given to rank in
scholarship, but excellence of charac
ter; and promise of future usefulness

MERCER NET STARS WIN
OVER THE GUILFORD MEN
i The Mercer University tennis team
drove its way to 3-2 victory over the
| Quaker varsity Friday afternoon in one
] of the best exhibitions of tennis seen on
j the home courts this year. The Heywood
brothers who played together in the
doubles, did the meteoric playing for
the Mercer team. Joyce was the out
standing playeri in behalf of the
Quakers. He dazzled the onlookers
with his brilliant comeback against
Heywood after he had lost one set to
him. He came up fresh and won the
! next two sets 6-1, 6-2.
! The doubles were as follows: Hey
' wood and Heywood, of Mercer, beat
Burke and Joyce, of Guilford, 4-6,
6-4, 6-4. Heywood and Heywood, Mer
j cer, won over Trotter and Brown, Guil
ford, 6-1, 8-6.
In the singles Heywood, Mercer,
beat Brown, Guilford, with a score
6-3. Trotter, Guilford, outplayed
6-0. Joyce, Guilford, downed Heywood,
Mercer, in the most brilliant set of
| the meet 2-6, 6-1, 6-2.
I; ATI I "CHING-CHOW LIED.
| Noah Webster gives the following
synonyms for "FRESH,' —Inexperienc-
j ed, vigorous, strong, sound, not stale.
Ching-Chow, little Chester's faithful
guardian, says," It is written that the
gods shall abundantly reward the one
who is vigorous, strong, sound unex
perienced but willing to learn."
Has this year's Freshman class prov
ed Ching's saying to be true?
j If not, how could the Freshman have
managed to place so many men on the
college ball teams?
How could they have placed so
many men in the Glee Club and Or
chestra?
How could they have taken such an
j active part in the dramatic production?
, How could they have selected a de
i bating team capable of beating the
; Sophomores and a number who made
the college debating team?
How could the Freshman succeed at
any undertaking if he did't have the
qualities described by Ching-Chow?
j Ching-Chow is no fabricator.
