THE GUILFORDIAN VOL. XII The Zaytasian Literary Society Is Entertained By Websterians Webs Entertain With Elaborate Christmas Program at Bien nial Reception The Zatasian Literary Society was escorted in a body from the Xala~ian Hall to the auditorium at Memorial Hall, December 18, to attend ihe re gular meeting of the Websterian Lit erary Society. It was a holiday affair &nd every one was dressed in gala attire. The program was preceded by the regular order of business read: "I. A Taylor—Nuzie (and some of the boys) 11. A Knot—Mr. Web and Mi-s Zay (and some of the boys). 11. Xmas— Jack (and some of the boys). The curtains were drawn back re vealing the interior of a tailor's shop. The scenery consisted of racks of marked down suits, two dummies (some of the boys) and a long table piled high with suits at which iNuzie, a shrewd old tailor, was pounding a •crease into a pair of unfortunate trousers. Then entered what appear ed to be his son, but the individual was addressed as Professor Cherry blossom. There followed a clever dialogue. mostly monologue, by Nuzie which sounded like a dictionary of biological terms. Then the tailor got his violin and Prof. Cheery blossom brought out his trombone and the music even charmed the dummies, for they danced off their platform and Waltzed around the tailor shop. With the last strain of music the curtain fell. The second number proved to be the ceremony of joining Mr. Web and Miss Zay in partrnership for the evening. It was a very clever mock medding. The wedding attendants entered. First came Otis Burke as a very timid "flower boy'' and with him was the not very timid flower girl, Don Ireland. Tom lladley was a very attractive brides mai l with Ray Parish as usher. Then entered Miss 2av (Ola Nicholson) on the arm ol a gray-haired father Authur Henley i who met the groom.

Rufus Smith To Head Guilford Cagers During Coming Season Besides The Regular Varsity Team Quakers Have a Second Team That Is Classy TO OPKN WITH CAROLINA The Guilford College basketball var sity hasjj u t elected "Shirt" Smith, iis all-season athletic star, as captain for the coming basketball season. He succeeds Henry Tew, of Golds fcoro, in this position. "Shirt" is one of the three var sity men who returned this fall. around whom Coach Doak figures to build a strong team. He takes the sports as they come. Last winter he was one of the strong points in the local basketball team, which played through a creditable schedule. When the basketball season opened he gave the fans of the state all sorts of thrills with his southpaw twirling. It was he who pitched the Quakers to a 2-1 victory over State on Hobbs field last spring, then went to Chapel Hill and took the wind out of the sails of the Tar Heels by corking up a game and forcing it to ten innings before the University team was able to put across the winning run. In his effort to put out a crack team at basketball this winter, he has prospects of more strength in reserve than he had in baseball. Be sides the regular varsity team, he has another team almost as good. Of (Continued on pane 4.)

Those receiving letters this year are fo'lowers: Crawford Hoyle, Wade Lindley, Carey Iteece. liay Parish, Henry Tew and George Hendrickson. Manager Raymond Thomas was also presented witii a letter. Davis Speaks in Chapel J. Franklin Davis spoke in chapel last monday morning about some of the minor discrepancies to be found in the old translation of the bible— The King James version. He said that these false translations did not in any way detract from the spiritual content of the passage but made the pas s ages somewhat confused. As an example of the false translation he mentioned Pauls argument with the governoi when tlu> ruler made t!ie remark, "almost thou persuadest r.ie to become a Christian." Professor Davis said the real meaning of this remark was, "You'd make me out a christian with few words or with out any argument at all.'' Besides this particular example pro fessor Davis cited several other places where a knowledge of the Greek would clear up a hazy translation. YOUNG FRIENDS DISCUSS WORK IN HOME MEETING On last Sunday afternoon, Decern, ber 20, at the suggestion of the Miss ionary Committee of the North Carolina Yearly Meeting, about 25 students, members of the Friends Church, met in Founders Hall and spent the after noon discussing what each could do in his or her home meeting to aid the work of the church and create an interest in missionary work during the holiday season. The meeting was in charge of Mr. Samuel Haworth who explained the fine fields of Friends mission, giving a brief history of each one. Dr. Binford asked for volunteers for this holiday service and received a hearty response from those who were present. James Curtis Newlin of the class of '22 was present and spoke very in terestingly of his work and experiences with the young people of New York yearly meeting. "What young people need" he said, "is to understand more clearly what is meant by Quakerism." Milo Hinkle, Pastor of the Friends Church, Greensboro, was present at the meeting and outlined very clearly the part the home churches should play in the missionary enterprise. "We must christianize the home base" be- (Continued on page 4.) GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., DECEMBER, 23, 1925 WHILE STARS OF CHRISTMAS SHINE \\ hile hells of Christmas ring, Lighting the skies, !

And in love lake: For love's dear sake. ' Gladden the poor and sad Emilie I'oulsson THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS Samuel L. Hauorth How eagerly as children we sought our stockings on Christmas Morning! The confident expectancy, the bulging mystery, the satisfying discovery carried in an increasingly thrilling experience. Fvery year Christmas justified itself in the holy, wholesome joy of child hood. Nor have we lost the capacity for such experience, for even now we await expectantly, if not hilariously. the package, the letters the greetings. They are good tidings of great you for thev remind us that we are part and parcel of the life of our friends. Thus have we learned that Christmas means going out as well as coming in. Some times it has even seemed to mean card for card, greeting for greeting, package for package until we faced the un speakable loss of Christmas turned into a stock exchange. So would the ideal of childhood pleasure vanish and the spi: it of Christmas be condemed to die on the floor of the Post Office. But not thus shall we be deprived of its sweet influence. He, in whose name A'e celebrate the season, has taught "It is more blessed to give than ■o receive." Nothing shall take this joy from us, nothing except our own selfishness and fear. As long as there ire little children to be made glad b\ our toys and poor people to be Tiade one time rich by our bounty, nd friends to feel afresh the glow if our f'i-iedship, and loved ones to be greeted with a cheery "Merry Christmas;" as long as there is evil lo be overcome by our good will and hate to be banished by the power of our love and a world buried in darkness to be raised to light by our life and the love of Christ to be in terperprcted to human understading by our deeds of kindness, so long shall the Christmas spirit hover over us with ils benediction of gladness, and lead us onward in the way of peace. Y. W. C. A, GIVES A CHRISTMAS TARLEAU A very impressive Christmas pro gram was given in Y. W. Thursday evening December 17. On entering the auditorium each person was given a white candle. Following each scrip ture verse read by Ina Mixon, strains of Christmas carols could be heard in the distance. During the entire reading by candle light, a tableau was most effectively acted in the glow of soft lights. By the manager in which (he infant Jesus lay, sat Mary and (Continued on paue 4.)

Seven Guilford Freshmen Defray Expenses By Carrying Daily News SENIORS ENTERTAINED AT CHRISTMAS PARTY The New Garden Senior girls enter- ! tained the Senior Class at a delightful | Christmas party in the basement of ! New Garden Hall. December 15. in honor of the occasion the basement had been transformd by decorations of Christmas trees and red light shades, j There was also a generous supply of | misletoe over the door and hanging from the lights. The party began with candy pulling. ; As soon as all the candy had been pul'ed and everyone had eaten until lliey were sati-fied, Santa Claus came in an awed the dignified "children" by patting them on the head and inquiring this little boy or girl wanted for Christmas." Then Stanta dis tributed the gifts which the various members of the class had brought for a friend. The fun waxed furious when some of the gifts were opened and displayed. As soon as Santa left the class danced the "Virgina Reel" until the boys were breathless. So this was cast aside, and the less strenuous amuse ment of drawing fortunes was indulged in. When each had learned his fu ture, the party ended and one and all departed with the bit of the Christmas Spirit which they had received from the evening's fun.

"Tonight," said Dr. Perihso. "Guilford is just one big united family with no teachers and no students—only a group of friends who have come together to have a ban quet of excellent food."' Before read ing the program and introducing the speakers for the evening he made the following statement: "In this banquet hall, there is tonight no seat for sor row. There must be no gloom hidden behind the ar'.istic decoration of wall and table." As Christmas in other lands was (Continued on page 3.) GOOD NEWSBOYS The Project Started With Dr. Raymond Binford, Who Conceived The Idea USE PRESIDENT'S AUTO Before the roosters sound reveille on the old Guilford college campus and while yet there lingers the chill of night, a group of seven freshmen start every morning in a Ford car for the Daily News office, six miles aw ay. They are earning their way through college by carrying city pa per routes, and one of the require, ments of the job is to start putting out the papers by 6 o'clock. Guilford students have been known to do most everything in the cate gory of gainful employment, includ ing washing dishes, grubbing and tutoring, to pay their expenses at the institution, but this is the first time in the annals of the college that a group of boys ever had pluck and nerve enough to walk the streets be fore dawn every morning with sacks of newspapers and follow it up in the afternoon with collecting trips to satisfy a thirst for a college educa j tion.
