Raymond Thomas, Frances Os
borne and Joseph Cox to Head
the Publication Work
SUBSCRIPTION DRIVE ON
All Four Classes Elect Representatives
On The Staff—Several Important
Offices Are Unfilled.
Since it is the wish of the student
body that an annual be published this
year the staff has been chosen, and
work has begun. Thomas will head
the Quaker Staff, aided by a strong
and efficient group of helpers.
The nominating committee, composed
of the annual committees from the vari
ous classes, submitted its report to the
student body and this report was en
thusiastically adopted without a res
cinding vote. Besides the regular
executive officers there are ten class
representatives, three from each of the
two upper classes, and two from each
of the lower classes. These represen
tatives will have charge of the class
sections and also act as associate edi
tors.
The personnel of the staff is as fol
lows: Raymond Thomas, editor-in-chief.
Mr. Thomas is a man of unusual execu
tive ability having held many executive
positions 011 the campus including the
presidency of the Y. M. C. A. Although
this type of work is new to Mr. Thomas,
he possesses many qualifications for the
position. He possesses the ability to
direct any enterprise calmly and effi
ciently, and he h'as the confidence and
respect of the entire student body.
Frances Osborne, managing editor, is
well fitted for her post. She is acting
as associate editor of the Guilfordian,
and has favorably impressed the entire
college with her managing ability in
many college activities.
Joseph Cox, heads the business end
of the staff. For the past two years
he has made a financial success of the
Glee Club. In fact Joe has a business
make-up and the student body feels
that he Will do his part to make "The
Quaker" a financial success. He has
three assistants, mainly advertising
manager, subscription manager, and
circulation manager. The former two
have not been chosen as yet, but Scott
Parker, successful Guilfordian business
manager, will act as circulation mana-
The Art department is especially
strong headed by Anna Finch, whose
ability for this type of work is widely
known over the campus. She has as
her assistants, Laura Ballinger and
Sarah Egerton, both capable and skill
ful in the use of a drawing pencil.
The class representatives were well
chosen both from a point of interest,
experience, and ability. The senior
representatives are Sidney Winslow,
Maie Holladay, and Euth Malpass. The
juniors are represented by Ira Newlin,
Ruby Hall, and Paul Reynolds. The
sophomores elected Robert Ayers, and
Marie Barnes to care for their interests.
The freshmen elected Leslie Murphy,
and Naomi Myrick to care for their
selection.
There is a feeling of confidence
throughout the student body in the staff,
in their ability, and capability to put
out an annual that \fill far exceed any
that has preceded it.
William W. Blair, also known as Bill,
was quite a scholar in his day and he
is now successfully engaged in impart
ing a knowledge of chemistry to the
students of Greensboro High School.
Qy THE
GUILFORDIAN
Dramatic Council
Hits Annual Snag
"Seven Keys to Bald pate," a
Thrilling mystery play by George
M. Cohan, was the first choice of
the Dramatic Council for the fall
play.
The first preliminary try-outs
have been held. Much talent along
this line is being shown. It is
thought by the council that more
students are taking interest in the
try-outs this year than ever before.
However, there has been a tem
porary holdup by a pistol episode
in the story of the play. This tra
gic affair may cause the abandon
ment of this play and the choice
of another. A definite decision
will be reached this week, and
work will either continue or begin
again.
TOMSYKETALKS
TO STUDENT BODY
Tells Students to "Wake Up"
Because America and God
Needs Them
FLAYS CYNICS OF GOOD
"While I was 011 my way over here
this morning," began Tom Sykes, in his
chapel talk Wednesday morning, "I
wondered if you folk over here had
ever had any advice. Of course, almost
everyone is almost always giving ad
vice in some form or another, which is
very seldom taken for it is very difficult
and almost impossible to satisfy every
one. There are many people who make
themselves nuisances by giving advice,
but there was One Fellow whose advice
I like; He said, 'Get Understanding.'
"I was very glad to notice in a copy
of the Guilfordian that Coach Doak had
made a chapel talk 011 the 'Brains of
Football.' Such a talk should help the
student understand the technique of
the game, and it is comforting to the
student body to know that there really
are brains behind a football game."
Mr. Sykes expressed his wish that this
story be utilized in fields other than
football. He said, "I want you to real
ize that brains and understanding are
needed in our day." Some people seem
to have a feeling that there isn't any
thing really big to challenge- them—
that there is nothing they can effective
ly do in life.- Mention was made of the
new scientific discovery which enables
a clear passage to-be made through a
heavy fog so that aeroplanes about to
make landing may do so in safety. "If
you are indifferent to the great power
of Jesus Christ, you are going to remain
in the fog all your life," he said. "God
help the poor cynical fool who thinks
himself superior to the kind of work
that the Christian association of young
men and young women are sponsoring
today!"
Youth can achieve as great or even
greater things than have been achieved
in the history of our country. What
they need to do in order to accomplish
something worthwhile is to apply them
selves and WORK. The trouble with
the young people of today is that they
are not working—too many of them are
carelessly flitting their time away. It
takes work to bring victories and vic
tories are what make people happy.
This is just as true in the moral realm
and in the academic work as on the ath
letic field.

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., NOVEMBER 3, 1926

12TH SEMI-ANNUAL
SESSION AT SALEM
Byron Haworth, Guilfordian
' Editor and President of As
sociation, Makes Address
W. O. SANDERS SPEAKS
Collegiate Journalists Meet and Discuss
Their Problems—The Quaker is
Admitted to Association.
The twelfth semi-annual meeting of
the North Carolina Collegiate Press
Association convened at Salem College
October 29 and 30 as guests of the
Salemite and Sights and Insights staffs.
With the splendid co-operation from
the Salem officials, student body, busi
ness men of Winston and the daily
papers of the city, the entire delegation
of seventy-five college editors and busi
ness managers acclaimed this the most
successful and benefical of all previous
conventions.
Delegates began to arrive early
Thursday afternoon. All delegates
were shown to the Alice Clewell Build
ing where Miss Dorothy Siewers was
stationed to assign the girls to their
rooms and the boys to their homes in
town.
The first address of the occasion was
given W. C. Saunders, publisher of the
Independent, Elizabeth City, N. C. Mr.
Saunders in his address gave some prac
tical advice to those who plan to enter
the field of country journalism.
"Young folk, if you are intending to
go in the field of journalism, whether
it be in the realm of the country jour
nalists, or on the staff of the big city
dailies, above all things be independ
ent, be bold, be just as daring as you
dare to be, but never for a moment
allow an immoral suggestion to creep
into your columns," was the warning
given to the young college editors.
"Your newspaper will have no excuse to
exist," he said, "if you do not make it
original. It will have no appeal. Read
ers will turn to the big dailies. The
money for your paper comes from the
advertising columns giving business
men control over the newspaper busi
ness. Let the editor tell me that the
advertiser does not control his page and
I will tell you he is a liar."
"If you be bold, audacious, keep your
hand on the pulse of your people, you
will not make much money, but you
will save country journalism in the
South and your people will have respect
for you. Strive for fearlessness and
independence."
After Mr. Saunders' address the con
vention adjourned to an informal reeep

MANY STUDENTS ON
THE GOSPEL TEAMS
About Forty Guilford Students
Join Organization to Help In
the Churches
THERE ARE FOUR TEAMS
Under the supervision of Rev. Lewis
McFarland, Evangelistic Superintendent
of Friends, and Rev. Joseph Peele, pas
tor of Guilford College Friends' church,
the students at Guilford College have
added another bit of history to the an
nuals of the College. An organization
has been formed known as the "Guil
ford College Gospel Teams."
The purpose of these teams is to* go
to various churches within a radius of
fifty odd miles of the college, that wish
thteir services, two Sunday evenings in
a month and hold devotional services.
This body of young people is com
posed of forty members. The majority
of them come from the Y. M. C. A. and
Y. W. C. A. organizations on the cam
pus, and it also includes other students
that have given their life of service for
the work of the Master.
This organization is divided into four
teams. Each team comprises four or
five members. The teams are changed
each alternating Sunday in order that
every member of the organization may
have a chance to take part.
It is the purpose of each team to go
in prayer and accomplish all they can
for the Master.
On Sunday evening November Ist
the first four organized teams went to
the following churches; Asheboro
Friends Church, Winston-Salem, Oak
Hill, and Archdale.
Monday Chapel
In chapel Monday morning books
were discussed. Professor Samuel
Haworth read a Scripture reading from
II Timothy IV, 13, where Paul request
ed his son to bring the Parchments or
books.
Miss Ricks, Librarian, expressed her
willingness to assist the students in the
use of the Library, giving helpful hints
along this line.
Charles Coble, '29, presented a few
remarks concerning "The Book of Guil
ford" for 1927, pointing out the advan
tages it will have as an advertisement
for Guilford and urging every loyal
GuilforcHan to get behind this work and
m,ke "The Book of Guilford" success
ful.

A Big Success
LENOIR-RHYNE TEAM
RUNS WILD, BEATING
FIGHTING QUAKERS
Guilford Puts Up Strong Fight
During First Quarter But
Is Defeated 39-0
SPURLOCK OUTSTANDING
Fighting Quakers Lack In Reserve
Strength and Fail to Score Though
Within Few Yards of Goal Line.
Fighting desperately, but hopelessly,
until the last whistle, the fighting
Quakers bowed down in defeat before
the hard driving Lenoir-Rhyne aggrega
tion 39-0 this afternoon on Hobbs field,
making the fifth straight victory for the
Rhyneians and no defeats. The first
quarter was the scene of some good
football. Guilford' made several spec
tacular end runs and threatened to
score several times but was always kept
from the goal line by a mere margin.
The student body was over-joyed with
enthusiasm when the Quakers went
down the field with end runs and
straight football only to be stopped at
the five yard line.
In the second quarter Lenoir's famous
halfback, Spurlock, broke loose and
made several end runs. The Quakers
could do very little to stop him with
the good interference by the rest of
his team. During the second quarter
Whisenhunt and Spurlock made a
touchdown apiece and the extra point
was scored each time, making the score
at the end of the first half 14-0.
The second half started with a bad
kick off by Guilford. Lenoir failed
to make the first down and Guilford
received the ball 011 the 15 yard line.
After the middle of the third quarter
the Quakers began to weaken and the
visitors easily ran several first downs.
Evading the attacks of several Guilford
men Cox broke loose and made a long
run for the five yard line making it
easy for the ball to be carried over

HALLOWE'EN PARTY
IS HELD SAL NIGHT
Annual Social Event of Fall Is
Scene of Many Costumes
and Fortune Telling
HIKE ON COBLE ROAD
Guilford celebrated Hallowe'en with a
general party which included all the
time-honored institutions of all Saints
Eve.
Between 6:30 and 7:30, the majority
of students and some teachers under
went a change from hum drum college
members for spooks, picturesque figures,
or fantestic enigmas.
The factulty judged the costumes,
awarding the prizes to Anna Mae New
lin and May Hollady, who were dressed
as Quaker twins, and to Paul Reynolds,
who was perfectly disguished as "a
conglameration of affairs."
After the judging the company pro
ceeded en masse out to the Coble road,
through the graveyard, where supersti
tious terror was justified by various
wandering ghosts, to the old school
house. The entrance was guarded by
the "Three Fates" whose "handshakes
of welcome" were respectively "clam
my," "gooey," and "sticky." The room
upstairs had been decorated according
to Hallowe'en tradition in orange and
black with corn shocks, jack'o'lanterns,.
and big black cats.
