GLEE CLUB MAKES HIT
IN ITS INITIAL CONCERT
AT VIENNA HIGH SCHOOL
Indian Specialty anil old Black Joe
Numbers Prove Big Success
The Guilford College Glee Club
opened its season at Vienna High
School, Saturday night March 6. In
spite of r. in a large crowd attended
the performance. According to the
remarks made, the club did not lose
the excellent reputailon which it • has
built up in that community in the last
four years. The girl's home econom
ics class of the school entert. ined the
gleemen with a dinner, and in every
respect Vienna proved herself to be a
splendid hostess.
The first group of the program con
sisting of ascred choruses and classical
solos was not as welt received as the
lighter type of music, which was given
in the second and last sections. The
orchestra proved that its possibilities
were only hidden, for the jazz that it
produced gained much applause. Mr.
llendrickson was well received and
sang . n encore to his tenor solo. There
was not a moment of silence while Mr.
Warrick entertained with a humorous
reading. Through his facial gymnas
tics and characteristic drollery he
brought one out-burst of laughter after
another. He was not illowed to stop
without several reappearances. The
climax of the second section was of a

SENIOR GLASS IS TO GIVE
FURNISHINGS FOR LIBRARY
Following what has become more
or less a custom with the graduating
classes at Guilford, the cl. ss of
twenty six took definite action by
deciding to make a gift to the college,
in its regular meeting last Tuesday
night. The gift this year will be an
addition to the furnishings of the
reading room of the library and will
consist of two three-section book
cases, one single section w. 11 book
case and a magazine rack. All of
these pieces will match the white
oak cases and chairs that are aire, dy
in the library and will practically
complete the necessary furniture that
the reading room lacks.
Numerous suggestions were dis
cussed before I lie decision of the cl. ss
was made(. A committee investigated
the cost and feasibility of remodeling
the stage in Memorial Hall and pur
chasing aI new curtain for it, while
another committee looked into the
practicability of enclosing Hobbs Feld
with a good wire fence, similar to the
ones in use at some of the other col
leges in the state. The improvement

DON'T JUST FOLLOW THE
CROWD ADVISES HAWORTH
"Don't do a thing just because some
one else does it,'* began S, muel Ha
worth. Thursday morning in his chapel
talk.
Prof. Haworth emphasized the fact
that although one does not like to
be conspicuously original in order to
make a success, it is necessary to learn
to stand rlone at times. First of all,
we should be sure of our grounds in
taking a position, regardless of the
position that ohers might take. A per
son who developes an individual
initiative accomplishes more in co
operation with others, than one who
follows the crowd.
In conclusion the speaker showed
T*hy in an emergency, a stiff backbone
and a well balanced brcin are
necessary.

INTERESTING TALK GIVEN
BY PERISHO ON FLORIDA
Dr. Elwood C. Perisho gave in his
chapel talk Wednesday a very interest
ing account of his .nd Mrs. Perisho's
recent trip to Florida.
"We did not go to Florida to see
the new," begain Dr. Perisho, "we
went to see the old."
Speaking from a historical point of
view he stressed the fact that Florida,
which was discovered by Ponce de
Leon in 1513, has the oldest frame
building and the oldest fort in
America.
After giving a summerized recount
of the periods of Florida's history,
first under Spanish control and down
until Florida became a state, the
speaker confied himself mainly to the
old historic city of St. Augustine.
The oldest stone building in America
in built of coqina. It is a fort con
structed in 1580, at St. Augustine. Dr.,
Perisho added to the effectiveness of
his t. Ik by showing specimens of
eoquina which he collected and
brought back with him. Fort Marion,
the old city walks, and the gate posts,
all of which ;re still standing, were
built of this material.
Both men and women demand com
panionship. When a woman's innate
char, cter is such as to dislike both
men and dogs she must have an auto
mobile to alleviate her loneliness.
Nugatory attempts for a partner
cause men to seek similar mitigaton.
The many varieties of faculty omni
busses which are being introduced on
the campus have caused such phil
osophy to be discarded as erroneous.

PHIL ORATORICAL CONTEST
Virginia Pamperin And Ollie Mcßunc
Other Speakers
The 18th annual oratorical contest
of the Philomathian Literary Society
was won by Mary Chapell of the class
of '29. The entire program consisted
of three orations and a vocal solo by
Chandos Kimrev.
The first speaker, Virginia I'amperin,
spoke on the subject of, "An Ideal
Junior High School." In her oration
Miss Pamperin gave a splendid picture
of her idea of a junior high school.
She began first with the planning of
the grounds; second the building;
third, class room f. cilities and lab
atory equipment; and lastly, the pro
gram by which the school work should
be carried on.
Mary Chapell, the second and win
ning speaker, delivered an oration on
"Capital Punishment." Miss Chapell
related vividly how inhum. n and cruel
ii is to take the life of a criminal
who if given a chance might reform
and become a true christian worker.

EUROPEAN STUDENT TOUR
REPRESENTATIVE IS HERE
Dr. P. K. Roest of New York City
visited Guilford College Thursday,
March 4 in the interest of the Con
federation International des Etudiants.
While here he held private confer
ences with a few students who are in
terested in spending their vacation
abroad.
Dr. Binford expressed himself as
being highly pleased with proposi
tion as explained by Dr. Roest, who
gave further information to the Guil
fordian in order that more persons
might become interested.
The official national student organi
zations of Europe are preparing to
offer special opportunities to a limited
number of American students travell
ing abroad this summer. Ten pro
grams are being arranged under the
auspices of the Confederation Inter
nationale des Etudi. nts. which is a
federation of national student organi
zations in charge of their joint inter
national undertakings. They will be
announced in this country shortly
after Christmas. Co-operating agencies
are the International Student Service
(formerly European Student Relief)
and the German National Union of
Students, which is the principal stu
dent organization not included in the
Confederation Internationale des Etu
diants. Over here, an advisory com
mittee of educators is forming.

All paren's who are having trouble

HONOR SYSTEM SUBJECT
STUDENT CHAPEL TALKS
The Wednesday morning chapel ex

who discussed the advantages of an
honor system.
Beulah Allen, the first speaker,
talked on "what I would like my
memories of college to be." "We ill
have memory books filled with remind
ers of different events but it is not
these niomentoes that we carry away
as lasting impressions of Guilford.
Clean athletics and clean sportmanship
are the things that we remember most.
Therefore we should strive to be fair
not only in athletics but in our clas3
and written work. The kind of work
that we do now is the type that we
will accomplish when we le. ve college.

MCFARLANO TALKS TO
SCHOOL OF MISSIONS
Louis McFarland, Field Secretary of
North Carolina yearly meeting gave an
address before the School of Missions
on Sunday night, March 7. Mr. Mc-
Farland has been in North Carolina
for the past fifteen years and has
spent much of his time as minister
and extension worker.
In liis talk before the missions
school the speaker emphasized the fact
that God speaks to individuals and
delegates them to do a particular kind
of work and that in such a body erf
young people there should be many
whom God has called upon to go into
the ministry. "Satisfaction in life,"
! continued Mr. McFarlland, "is to aj
large extend dependent upon whether
we as individuals follow the path
which God indicates."
During his talk the Secretary show
ed the need of North Carolina for
church workers, pastors evangelists and
educators.
Mr. McFarland closed his remarks
by challenging the students to plan
their lives in service to God.
