A great manifestation of oratorical
genius was shown in the Websterian
Literary Hall, Friday evening, Decem
ber 10, 1926.
"Capital Punishment should be abol
ished in the State of North Carolina."
This was the decision of the judges as
an evidence of a good argument put
forth by the affirmative speakers, Yel
verton and Hadley, while Melvin and
Sink contested for the negative.
The society was then entertained by
a few sleight of hand tricks by Hara.
Bradley Ward caused much laughter

"Hawaii" was the theme which was
carried out in the program given in
the Zatasian Literary Society Friday
night.
The first number was "The Cross
roads of the Pacific" by Mildred Kim
rey, in which Miss Kimrey told of the i
THE GUILFORDIAN
customs and mannerisms of the Hawai
ians. The second number was Hawaiian
music, with Berta Hollady playing vio
lin and Myray Gamble playing guitar.
The readings, "Don't Play Aloha Oe
When I Go" and Edgar Guest's "On
Going Home for Christmas," by Lorena
Booker were well received. As an in
strumental solo, Virginia Saunders
played "Nocturne No. 2, by Chopin."
The Hawaiian dance in costume, by
Jeanne Jones was an effective climax
for the program.
OLD NEW GARDEN IS
INTERESTING THEME
(Continued from Last Issue)
At the beginning the superintendents
and teachers were to conduct the
school according to certain rules. The
following regulations for the attend
ance are taken from the Yearly Meet
ing Minutes dated 1838:
"First —The Yearly Meeting in 1836
has enjoined that all conform to plain
ness of apparel, by the following min
ute: 'The acting committee are in
structed to observe that the superin
tendents, teachers and children take
a plain, simple appearance in dress
and address. Any coming otherwise
furnished, the superintendent may re
quire their parents or guardians to
be at the expense of furnishing suita
ble clothing. No rolling or turned
down collars are to be admitted,
neither on coats nor waistcoats.'
'•'Second—The use of tobacco by all
the students and teachers is strictly
forbidden in the house and total dis
use of it is recommended elsewhere.
"Third—Each pupil is to supply him
or herself with a wash-pan, soap and
towels. In addition to this it is rec
ommended that each one have a shoe
brush or brushes and strictly to clean
their shoes from dirt, before going in
to school.
"Fourth—Books and stationery that
the pupils may, in the opinion of the
teachers need, the superintendent is to
furnish them with at the selling price,
which are to be paid for by the scholar,
or the person entering him.
"Fifth—The boys will be expected
to make their own fires, sweep their
school rooms; and by turns, in classes,
chop wood, and drain or pump water,
at such times, and under such regula
tions as the superintendent and prin
cipal teacher may agree on.
"Sixth—When out of the house either
day or night, each sex must strictly
keep within the limits prescribed, ex
cept when otherwise permitted.
"Seventh—Newspapers or other pe
riodical publications are not allowed
to be taken at the school by the
scholars except 'The Friend.'"
In the early clays the New Garden
students were of necessity an energetic
bunch. In summer recitations were
held before breakfast, and in winter
after tea.
At first only Friends' children were
pupils. It is said that Governor
Moorehead was lead to found "Edge
worth Seminary" in Greensboro be
cause his children were refused ad
mittance to the New Garden Boarding
School. After a while the rule was
relaxed. Other children were admitted
but only on certain conditions: they
must use the plain language, wear the
Quaker coat, and cut the hair just so
and so. So rigid was the rule in re
gard to dress and tobacco and so forth
that 011 one occasion the son of a
Friend, one of the most prominent in
North Carolina Yearly Meeting, who
brought a plug of tobacco in his trunk
and clothes too much deviating from
the pattern, returned home rather than
submit to an alteration in his gar
ment.
As a high school the New Garden
Boarding School occupied a place in
the front rank among the schools in
North Carolina. From year to year
there was a marked increase in at
tendance and improvement in equip
ment. The number in attendance in
1877 was 60; the next year 80; the fol
lowing 96; in 1884 122; In 1885 137; the
next year 144 and the following 164.
In 1878 there was only one build
ing which had stood with all its time
worn furniture during the Civil War.
And from all available material it can
not be found that any other boarding
school in the State kept its doors open
through all the days of the War Be
tween the States.
Through the liberality of Friends in
Baltimore and other Yearly Meetings,
three new buildings were added in 1888
and the New Garden Boarding School
became Guilford College.

Collegian, a few passages being taken

ONE QUESTION
that always arises in the mind
of every serious thinking col
lege man is—"What am I going
to do after graduation or dur
ing vacation time?" This is an
important question, worthy of
serious consideration. It de
mands a decision.
In a very definite way the
life insurance business offers
you the opportunity for success.
In no field is there a greater
chance for the college man.
