THE GUILFORDIAN VOL. XII JUNIOR GLASS ENTERTAINS SENIORS AT COUNTRY CLUB IN HIGH POINT WEDNESDAY Early American History Is Subject Of Enjoy able Program The old Liberty Bell sounded and we, the members of the Constinental Con gress signed again the Declaration of Independence, and the jest and feasting the Juniors and Seniors both, re-lived and made history, Wednesday night when the class of twenty-seven followed the custom long established of giving to the Senior class a banquet, honor ing them for having attained a mark this far toward graduation. This year the banquet was served at the Emery wood country club, in High Point. The theme of the program was a clever take-off on a celebration of the Sesqui-centennial anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. It called to mind the fact that the Senior class it about to assume an independence of Guilford College and assume a place in the world's work as alumni. Fol lowing this thread of thought, the pro gram of speeches discussed such topics and happenings pertinent to the life of the classes as was comparable or analagous to the early history of the American Republic. From his position at the head of the long table, Sidney Winslow, toast master, gave each speaker an introduc tion filled with human interest and the good humor and banter that must al ways attend the hard role of mafeter of a festive ceremony. He first recog nized Garvice Guthrie, president of the Senior ck ss. Mr. Guthrie, held forth upon the ''Spirit of '76." lie spoke nut a short while and tersely reviewed the points characterizing the ones"— "Who dared to die and leave their children free" in the dark days of re volutionary times. Pansy Donnell, the other speaker from Senior class, gave a discussion of the "Signers of the Deck ration." Her remarks upon the vocations of the ones who signed the Declaration of Indept „lence were of much inter est revealing as they did, the fact that a large variety of trades were repre sented in the great body that adopted the famous document. Raymond Thomas, of the Junior ckss, responded with a short address upon "Patriotism." lie characterized this as being that sense of duty that held the faithful few American soldiers to their duty when the outlook was so dreary. He added to this the careful exercise of the rights of citizenship which he said was incumbent upon the (Continued on page 4) JAMESTOWN CLUD GUEST OF ITS ALUMNI SATURUAY The Jamestown Alumni of Guilford College entertained the Jamestown High School Seniors on Saturday rfter noon.

SPEAKERS MUST HAVE A GOOD CHOICE OF WORDS At chapel Friday morning Prof. Samuel Haworth discussed "Public Spe. king;" taking as his theme "Con trol in words and voice." "If you do not know," said Mr. Ha worth "The grammatical use of words to express your thought, you hesitate and cause the force of the speach to be lost." The way to avoid this hesit ancy is to study words and their shades of meaning. People do not think as they read. Therefore, they do not get the true meaning and use of words. The speaker's voice has much to do with whether or not his speech is forceful. Unless the speaker is a fam ous person, people listen to the way they say a thing rather than what they say. The voice should be so controlled that it will project over all the audi ence. Many people of today lack the power of projecting their voice. GUILFORD COLLEGE, N.

Smith from Boston, Massachusetts; Ira Jenkins a Sopho more in Columbia University; Santley Hyde of the Foreign Bor.rd; Harry Combs, field secretary and W. C. Poole of London. Some of the extracts from Ira Jenkins talk are; "He pro fits most who serves best. Youth ser ves without profit. Don't pray for or about youth, but with youth. A dyna mic charge can be applied not by youth alone but by youth and older folk. Youth wants sympathy and ad vice rnd will ask for advice if the older folks aren't in too big a rush to give it." FRESHMFN AND SOPHMORES PICNIC TOGETHER AFTER A FUNERAL OF AXE OF HATE Annual Picnic Is Held In The Meadow Below The Old Dam By Alice Hazard Five-thirty and the bell was ringing to leave for the Sophmore-Freshman picnic. Everyone was in highest spirits r.nd longing to be off and away, so it was with little delay that the party started hiking down to the meadow. After a short hike the party found itself on a high hill back of the college. To the north a panoramic view painted with spring's colors could be seen. A stream winding around the foot of the hill made an idealistic picnicing ground. With a wave of the Sophomore wand, wood was gathered and several large fires were started. But mysteri ously the sophomores disappeared and the freshmen were called to be seated. Ira Newlin president of the sopho more class, then welcomed their guests.

FRITZ SEMMLER WRITES ABOUT THE EDUCATIONAL CONDITIONS OF GERMANY Fritz Semmler, the autlior of the following article, is a young German who is now a student at Guilford Col lege. He has been in America for only about five months and c, n speak English very well considering this fact. This article, on the present German school system, was written for the '"('.uilfi irdian." I.et us first consider the public school, which gives to more than 90% of the people their training for life and is therefore the most important part of the school system. Up to the present every denomination has the constitutional right to establish its own schools. Really however, this has only been done by the C; tliolic and State churches. The control of these schools by members of both churches is now abolished. Besides these schools there exist the so-calld secular school-, which instead of a denominational institution give a philosophic survey of the main religions of the world and attempt to enable the child to make an inde pend choice of its own faith. There are elementary ye; rs and the curricu luin is exactly the same for all child ren, whether they expect to remain only the four more years of the public school or plan to take up further study in higher schools.
