COLLEGE GLEE CLUB
MAKES BIGGEST HIT
OF YEAR SATURDAY
Receives Generous Applause
In Its First Appearance At
Home Saturday Night
FINE CHORUS WORK
Gives Concerts In Randleman,
High Point and Burlington
After an extended eastern tour,
the Guilford College Glee Club
gave its home performance here
before a large and appreciative
audience Saturday night, April
17.
The program was varied and
contained selections both interest
ing and entertaining to all types
and tastes of the hearers.
The first group consisted of sa
cred choruses and classical solos.
A flute solo, Title's "Serenade,"
by Sam Keen; "Adormaus Te," by
Palestriana, and "The Rosary," by
Nevin, both given by the Glee
Club, deserve especial mention.
In the second part of the pro
gram there was a change from
classical music to the more pop
ular selections by the orchestra.
George Hendrickson was well re
ceived and sang an encore to his
tenor solo, "Pal of My Cradle
Days." Every one was fully con
vinced that men are becoming
more like women after the hat
stunt given by Messrs. Warrick,
Brown and Rabb. The scene then
changed from a hat shop to an
old negro cabin where the boys
were singing to Uncle Joe, an old
negro man, played by Harden
Kimrey. Mr. Warrick returned
with more fun, keeping the au
dience in one continual fit of
laughter.
The "Deedle Dum Dum" dance
arranged by Mr. Miller, the direc
tor, with its snaky steps and beau
tiful lighting effects, was aiso
greatly enjoyei. Mr. Hodgkin, a
visiting soioist, received much ap
plause after his two solos in this
group, "Pale Moon," and "From

CHOOSE DEBATE TEAM
REPRESENT GUILFORD
Will Debate Lenoir-Rhvne
This Month
The Guilford College debating
team, which was chosen some
time ago, is now hard at work
preparing for a dual debate with
Lenoir-Rhyne College. The ques
tion to be discussed is "Resolved:
that the army and navy air forces
of the United States should be
united in a separate and inde
pendant department with a secre
tary in the cabinet."
Charles Weir and Nereus Eng
lish were to uphold the affirmative
but due to the fact that Mr. Eng
lish will be away from the college
on a ball trip at the time the de
bate is to be held, Paul Swanson
will take his place on the affirm
ative team.
The negative team will be com
posed of Sidney Winslow and Ed
win Rozell.
All the debaters have had con
siderable experience at public
speaking, and are expected to
make a splendid showing against
Lenoir-Rhyne, in spite of the fact
that Lenoir won a debate with
Pittsburgh University on the same
query.

To High Point—Poor Field
ing Mars Game
Coming from behind a six run
lead, the Guilford College baseball
team defeated High Point College
by a 10 to 7 score last Saturday
at Hobbs' field.
The game got off to a rather
| siow start and the "Purple Pan
! thers" piled lip a six run lead in
' the first four innings of the game.
lln their half of the fourth the
| Quakers got next to Hedrick, the
i Pointer hurler, and touched him
[ for two runs. They did not stop
! with this, however, but continued
to pound Fuqua who relieved Hed-
I rick in the sixth. Rabb started the
1 game for Guilford but he was
wild and could not locate the plat
ter. He was relieved in the third
i inning by Coltrane after he had
walked the first man and hit the
t next. After the third inning Col
| trane settled down and held the
visitors to two runs during the re
mainder of the game.
The visitors scored one run in
he first inning when Currie
scored from first on Foust's three
base hit to right center. Foust.
I however, died on base when Hill
I fanned, making three out.
In the third Pierce was walked
[ n . Curr.e was hit by a pitched

n to pitch for Guilford. Foust the
fiist man to face him flew out to
English at short. Hill singled scor
imy nc.cj and Currie went to
! third on the play. Fritz then hit

(SHOULD GUILFORD HAVE
FOREIGN STUDENTS, IS
QUESTION TOjORUM
On Wednesday night the Guil
! ford college faculty and students
held the first of a series of Open
j Forum meetings. The plan is to
! have these gatherings every two
; or three weeks in which the col
lege people meet for an hour to
! discuss the present day problems.
This will keep the people of the
college informed of the affairs of
the outside world and will be
broadening in effect. Interest will
be stimulated by trying to have
vital subjects for discussion and
by having the reading material set
| aside in the library where those
interested may become informed.
The topic, "Foreign Students on
the Guilford College Campus,"
was discussed at this first meeting.
I Some time ago the question of in
! viting Japanese students to come
i to Guilford arose and this topic
grew out of that question.
Letters had been written to sev
eral of the colleges in this part of
the country asking their opinion
on foreign students in American
colleges. Several of the colleges
where there were Chinese and Jap
anese students reported most fa
vorably on the situation. Several
students reported on reading that
they had made and those who had

To Win
Guilford defeated Atlantic
Christian College in a fast and

lay, 3-1.
The boys from the eastern part
if the state played a snappy
aang-up game of ball, throwing a
scare into the hearts of the Guil
ford supporters that lasted for
more than six innings. Atlantic
Christian College scored their only
un in the first inning when
3rinksly singled, stole second and
:hird, and then came home while
Smith was winding up. There was
no more scoring until the seventh
inning. Boykin for Atlantic Chris
tian College was invincible and
the Guilford players could not hit
him. He had a good fast ball and a
nice change of pace. In the mean
time Shirt Smith was pitching a

WALTER HAVILAND
TALKS IN CHAPEL
Walter Haviland a former
teacher at Guilford College, now
principal of "Friends-Select
School" in Philadelphia, spoke in
chapel Friday morning on "Edu
cation and Kindness."
The speaker began by asking
the student body if they were us
ing their time in getting an edu
cation for things that are worthy.
There are problems which must be
solved and difficulties which must
be overcome in the process of edu
cation.
The students that are going out
in life from Guilford will meet all
kinds of people and there is no
better way to succeed than by
being kind to everyone, says Mr.
Haviland. We can at least be kind
to those whom we do not love for
it is difficult to love everyone. In
return they will be kind to us.
In closing, Mr. Haviland quoted
a prayer, "Let us be large in heart
and love and mind, but above all
let us be kind."
GUILFORD'S NETMEN
KIN FIRST MATCH OF
SEASON FROM ELON
Net men Will Meet Mercer
Here Next Wednesday
The Guilford College Tennig
Team made its first public appear
ance of this spring last Friday
afternoon. The Quakers played a
splendid brand of tennis and de
feated their opponents, Elon Col
lege, five matches to one. Al
though neither the Guilford men
nor their opponents were in mid
season form, they exhibited
flashy strokes and a heady type
of tennis.
The most spectacular match was
played between Parker of Guil-
ford and Johnson of Elon. Parker
was finally overcome but pushed
Johnson to his limit. This was the
| only match lost by the Quakers.
The score stood 6-4, 3-6, 5-7.
Trotter overcame Hunter (Elon)
by a score of 6-4, 6-1. Hunter
put up the best game for the visi
' tors. Burke easily defeated Jones
I jf Elon 6-4, 6-2. Burkes' south
1 pair "Chops" always prove effec
j ive. Brown defeated Beattie in
consecutive sets, 8-6, 6-0. Brown
staged a sensational comeback.
Beattie won the first five games
j played. Bello proved no match
' for Griffin and lost by a score
| 6-0, 6-2.
| In the only doubles match play
' ad, Trotter and Burke, of Guilford,
- lefeated Hunter and Jones, of
j feilon. The doubles match exhib
| ited a rather poor style of tennis.
The final score for the match
J stood 110-20.
j Guilford will meet Mercer uni
, versity on the home courts next
Wednesday, April 21.

SPEAKING IN PUBLIC IS
AID CLEAR THINKING
Professor Samuel Haworth dis
cussed in his chapel talk Thurs
day morning, "Public Speaking."
"I began this business," said Mr.
Haworth, "About the age of
nineteen." To the three funda
mental elements in public speak
ing, given by a famous public
speaker, action, action, action,
Mr. Haworth added clear think
ing and thorough thinking as two
very important factors. He also
emphasized the fact that the
speaker needs control in the mat
ter of the choice of his words since
confusion often causes some very
humiliating errors.
