CATAWBA FIGHTS TO END
Entire Guilford Backfield Works To
gether in Fine Form and at No Time
Did the Fighting Spirit Lag
The Fighting Quakers came through
the Catawba game Saturday, with colors
flying, winning 32-0. The game was full
of thrills for Guilford rooters. The
feature of the game was the playing of
Guilford's back field. White, Beatty,
Kimrey, and Robertson played stellar
games and accumulated a great deal of
glory. The loyal support of the Quaker
student body contributed greatly to the
spirit of the team.
The game opened with a rush, Guil
ford kicking off to Catawba, and soon
going over for the first touchdown with
White carrying the ball. White made a
sensational run of forty-five yards
through Catawba's right side of the line,
and some beautiful broken field run
ning. Robertson tried a drop kick for
extra jtoint missing the goal by inches.
The remainder of the quarter was hard
fought by both teams. Guilford, how
ever, used her heavy line bucking plays
to good advantage and scored again
with Kimrey carrying the ball over
shortly before the quarter was over.
Beatty tried a place kick, but it did
not count as Guilford was off side.
The Quakers played the second quar
ter without scoring, but gained ground
by the air route. They lacked the nec
essary punch to put another counter
across the line. Catawba punted fre
quently out of danger forcing Guilford
to resort to line bucking and passing to
gain ground. The ball was continually
in enemy territory and numerous
threats were blocked by good line play
on the part of Aycock and Kennedy of
Catawba. Guilford made numerous
substitutions during the quarter giving
the second string men a chance to show
their mettle. Hughes, of last year's
Oak Ridge squad, got back into the
game for the first time since the Duke
game when he was forced out of the
game because of injuries. The half
ended with the Quakers making a de
termined effort to score.
Between halves the students put 011
an effective snake dance and demon
stration. This was complimented by nu
merous spectators who said, "That was
almost as good as the game itself."
They marched around over the field,
forming a mammouth G. C. in the cen
ter of the field, then yelled themselves
hoarse. As the second half opened
Guilford's fight became once more evi
dent. Catawba also accumulated some
scrap in the intermission coming back
with renewed vigor. After an exchange
of punts, Guilford settled down and
marched up the field. Beatty passed to
Robertson who crossed the last line for
the third touchdown of the game.
Beatty tried another place kick but it
wont wild.
Guilford kicked off again to Catawba
who ran it back for five yards and Ca
tawba was forced to punt to Beatty.
Once more our team took up the march
toward the goal line. Beatty bore the

GUILFORDIAN
Student Body Has a Renaissance of Pep During
Past Week and Shows Genuine Enthusiasm
During the past week several pep
meetings have been held on the
athletic fields and at the regular
chapel period. The first meeting
was held Tuesday afternoon on the
girls' hockey field. In answer to
the earnest appeal of the cheer
leaders, nearly eighty per cent of
the student body gathered 011 the
field with much enthusiasm and
nearly an hour was spent in prac
ticing college songs and yells. On
the following Thursday afternoon,
when plans for the game Saturday
were more fully developed, the stu
dents marched single file onto
Hobbs Athletic field, rehearsed a
snake dance, and arranged them
ELWOOD C PERISHO
GIVES AN ADDRESS
Talks to the Randolph Teachers
Association On the Art
Of Teaching
TEACHING A PROFESSION
On October 11, Dr. Elwood C. Perisho
left early Saturday morning for Ashe
liovo where he addressed the Randolph
County Teachers' Association. Over
150 teachers, including all the county
teachers and a host of visitors were in
attendance to hear the inspiring mes
sage of Br. Perisho. His subject was
"Is Teaching a Learned Profession?"
Dr. Perisho emphasized the fact that
if teaching is to be a learned profes
sion it will only be so recognized by
teachers doing professional work. No
work is professional unless it reaches
certain high standards.
Much was said concerning the stand
ardization of manufactured goods, as
well as of medical schools, graded
schools, high school and colleges.
The speaker suggested the following
tests for application to teachers to de
termine whether or not they were doing
professional work:
Are you happy in the school room and
do you believe in teaching?
Are you master of the subject you
teach? No greater satisfaction can
come to a teacher than to know that he
does know.
Are the by-products of your school
satisfactory? To enlarge 011 this point,
Dr. Perisho gave a few concrete ex
amples such as by-products of oil re
fineries, mine workers, etc. with which
he is personally acquainted. The by
products of a professional teacher will
be men and women who prove to be
honest, intelligent, loyal, and Christian
men and women.
Are you co-operative teachers? With
this point the importance of co-operat
ing with the people of the school com
munity was stressed.
Are you genuine and honest in your
class room ? "No doubt," said Dr. Peri
sho, "you could deceive me and prob
ably your Superintendent, but don't
think for one minute that you can fool
your class."
Is your teaching doing emergency
service? Is it what the county, state,
and nation need?
Many folks who are inclined to criti
cise their neighbors would do well to
"step aside and watch themselves go
by."
Qy THE
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., OCTOBER 27, 1926
though these procedures may have
selves to form the letters G.C. Al
seemed somewhat crude to a casual
observer, they formed the basic idea
for an event which was a great suc
cess Saturday afternoon at the
game.
Just before the game began, ap
proximately the entire student
body assembled in front of Memo
rial Hall and thence marched, four
abreast, to the sidelines of the foot
ball field. Then followed the best
organized yelling that has been
witnessed at this college for a long
time. Guilford's eleven showed
their appreciation of the strong
backing by playing a victorious

PROFESSOR WILSON
PLEADS FOR ANNUAL
English Department Head Hits
Keynote In Fight For
a Year Book
FLAYS STUDENT INERTIA
On October IS), the chapel period was
devoted to a talk by Professor Wilson
on the merits of an annual.
Since 1924, owing to financial difficul
ties and the apparent indifference of
the student body, 110 annual has been
published. Last year there was some
feeling that Guilford was ready for a
year book and this year the feeling
seems almost to have reached the point
of action.
Professor Wilson presented the idea
by a few definite and suggestive ques
tions.
First: What would be the general
nature of the proposed annual?
It would represent the students of
Guilford, their organizations, and the
various phases of their college life, by
pictures, rolls of classes and societies,
cartoons, and writings of various mem
bers. Such a year book would be en
tirely in the hands of the student body,
sponsored, managed, and created by the
students.
Second: What would be the benefits
of such a publication?
There are four distinct virtues in the
work involved in the preparation and
publication of an annual. First, it
gives opportunity to all the literary and
artistic talent in the college which the
weekly newspaper cannot use. All the
students would be represented in some
way and would find real use for their
hobbies; kodaking, cartooning, drawing
cover designs, writing short sketches,
verses or short paragraphs.
Second; the work would be valuable
business and editorial training to suc
cessive year book boards.
Third: a good annual would be an
advertisement to Guilford. It would
give outsiders an idea of the spirit and
activities of Guilford College life.
And finally, it would become valuable
to each student as a printed "memory
book," as a reminder of friends and
escapades and class activities: "Eterna
lize the good old days."
Considering these questions, the cru
cial point arises: Do enough people
want an annual to make its publication
a success? If the concensus of opinion
is in favor of it, how is it to be fin
anced? These Questions rest with the
student body for answer.
RUSSIAN COSSACK
CHORUS APPEARS AS
A LYCEUM NUMBER
Slavic Singers Delight Entire
Audience In First Lyceum
Concert of Year
SOCOLOFF THE DIRECTOR
The Russian Type of Music is Thor
oughly Enjoyed With Its Odd Ar
rangements and Harmony Effects
On October 20, the student body of
Guilford College heard the Russian Cos
sack Chorus as the first number of the
regular concert and Lecture Course of
1926-27.
The Russian Cossack chorus, now
touring the United States for the first
time, is under the direction of Sergei
Socoloff, who has won for himself
among the best critics a reputation as
being a superb director. He obtains,
seemingly without difficulty, artistic en
semble effects from the chorus.
The individuals constituting the
Chorus are native Russian singers.
They appeared in attractive Cossack
uniforms and with stage presence that
showed that they were fully experi
enced.
The choral singers gave a lengthy,
but never tiring program in four parts.
The audience was especially delighted
with the finished effects of each number
due to the well trained voices and the
ability of the men to attain incredible
results in tone and range. Too, the
audience especially enjoyed the solo
work done by the tenor and baritone
soloists and was astonished at the depth
of the voice of one of the bass singers.
The chorus responded generously to
the continuous calls for encores for
which they sang "Serenade" from "Stu
dent Prince," "Smilin' Through," "My
Wild Irish Rose," and "Dixie."
The chorus gave the following pro
gram :
Part I
"Serenade," Moisseff; "Selections
From the Opera," Davidousky; "Sen
tinel's Song," Kunz; "Cossack's Prayer
Before The Battle," Kolatilin.
Part II
"Prisoner's Escape," Turenkoff; "Vol
ga Boatman Song," Arr Socoloff; "A
Cossack Party," Davidousky; "Legend
of Christ," Tchaikousky; "Potpourrai
of Popular Russian Songs," Arr Soco
loff; "Song of Russia," Kolatilin;
"March," Slavianskaia; "Peasant's
Chorus, From the Opera, "Prince Izor,"
Borodin; "Stern Ocean," Saitseff;
"Snowstorm," Warlanvoff; "March of
the Signals," Kolatilin.
Relative to Writeup of
Guilford-Catawba Game
Loud and long complaints, and
threats to the extent of possible
extermination have been directed
towards the local newspaper cor
respondent because the write-up of
the Guilford-Catawba game didn't
appear in the Greensboro Daily
News or the Winston-Salem Jour
nel Sunday morning.
The explanation is as follows: A
"fake" appeared on the field pos
ing as an official reporter from the
Greensboro Daily News. He took
full notes and managed to deceive
some of the faculty members as
well as the correspondent into be
lieving that he was genuine. After
investigation, which came too late,
his true character was revealed.
The police are now on his trail
and when they get him things will
be made so hot that he will not try
a similar stunt any time soon.

Dr. Binford Reports All But
$30,000 Collected On the
Endowment Pledges
WILL RAISE STANDARDS
Trustees Are to Entertain the Various
Classes in Their Homes in
the Near Future
On October 20, the Board of Trustees,
Advisory Committee, representitives
from the Alumni, and faculty of Guil
ford College, meeting in joint session
this afternoon witnessed the most en
thusiastic and constructive conferences
ever held by that body. In perfect
unity and with the one interest, Guil
ford College, before them, for which
there is an ever growing interest, they
sat in satisfaction as President Ray
mond Binford made his report.
Featuring Dr. Binford's report was
the fact that Guilford has been con
stantly raising her standards. Although
there has been an increase in the num
ber of students from 112 in 1919 to
290 in 1926, twenty-seven were turned
away this year because they did not
meet the required standards. Although
well aware of the fact that several stu
dents might be obtained by lowering
the requirements, every member of this
joint session not only favored raising
the standards of the students entrance,
but also favored still higher standards
i'or the faculty and officers, and pro
posed to push ahead in the attempt to
raise their salaries.
