ranges Excellent Musical Program
Saturday night, December 18, was the
occasion of the annual Faculty-Student
Christmas banquet. Assembling at the
Library, the student body and their
hosts and hostesses formed a procession
to Founders Hall; where the Women's
Chorus and Men's Glee Club were sing
ing carols, at the door of the lighted
dining room. Candy canes and indi
vidual favors were at each place, and
decorations of evergreen and twined
streamers had transformed the room in
to a festal background for the banquet.
Professor Samuel Haworth presided as
toastmaster, and prepared the company
for the coming of Santa Claus—alias
Dr. Binford. In the traditional manner
of Christmas, he presented the members
of his collegiate family with gifts.
To Julia Junior Dr. Binford gave Fel
lowship. Ira Newlin accepted it for his
class, as a gift to be cherished, to be
carried from Guilford into life after
graduation as it was represented at its
best by the Christmas spirit of fellow
ship.
Fanny Freshman received a Guilford
pennant representing the Guilford Col
lege that the faculty offers them.
Elizabeth Braswell responded for the
Freshmen, expressing their sincere ap
preciation of the characteristics of the
gift.
Frances Osborne accepted for Samp
son Sophomore a small model airplane
symbolizing a world-wide view point.
Solomon Senior represented by Sid
ney Winslow received from Dr. Binford
an American flag, in token of the Na
tional recognition which Guilford can
now confer upon its Seniors.
Santa Claus himself was introduced to
a fifth member of his family who re
versed the habitual order by giving in
stead of receiving a gift. Henry Tew,
for the student body, presented Dr.
Binford with a twenty-one jewel Gruen
watch, as an expression of their deep

WALTER ROBERTSON IS
1927 FOOTBALL CAPTAIN
Succeeds Murray White as Leader of
the Fighting Quakers For Coming
Grid Season
A POWERFUL BACKFIELD MAN
Guilford College football squad is
radical, at least this was the spirit shown
in a meeting held immediately after the
close of the football season when Walter
L. Robertson of Mt. Airy, N. C., was
elected captain of the Crimson and Gray
for the season of 1927-1928. The Guil
ford team could find 110 fault in their
previous Captain, Murray White. It was'
only an expression of their anti-conser
vatism and their belief in office rotation
that they chose Robertson to pilot theny
through the coming season, which will
be marked with many perilous struggles.
Mr. Robertson merits such a position,
since he has so well established his name
in the line up of the Guilford team, and
has shown only the evidence of good
sportsmanship during his football career
at Guilford College.
cy THE
GUILFORDIAN
Old Meeting House
The old New Garden Meeting House of tlie Society of Friends stood in the
graveyard near the giant oak. It was completed in the Revolutionary days and
was used as a hospital for soldiers wounded at the Battle of Guilford Court
House. This is another of the scenes to be used in the 1927 Quaker.
DR. PERISHO GIVES
DATA ON GUILFORD
Gives County Clubs a Few Talk
ing Points to Use in Adver
tising Guilford
GUILFORD IS GROWING
Dr. Perisho spoke in chapel Wednes
day morning with reference to the new
ly organized county clubs, and some of
tli£ work possible for them to do.
In the student body here there are
nine states "not including the District
of Columbia," and thirty-nine counties
of this state represented. Naturally,
Guilford County heads the list as having
the most representatives here. Ala
mance and Wayne follow second and
third. Randolph, Forsythe, and Yadkin
counties tie for fourth place.
"People used to talk about the three
'R's'" said Dr. Perisho, "but I would
like to mention the three 'C's', the
county clubs can do much good work for
Guilford College." There are many sub
jects relating to this college which can
be discussed with interest and convic
tion, when present students are talking
with prospective students "back home."
Guilford is working hard to attain a
faculty large enough and a student body
small enough so that every one can
come into personal contact with their
professors and teachers. Genuiness of
character, genuiness of life, and a sane
view-point, these are the qualities which
the well meaning faculty here wishes
to impart to the students going out
from this institution. During this year
Guilford College has made much prog
ress. This fall a conference of the
colleges and universities of North Caro

TO TAKE OFFICE IN JAN.
The Guilfordian will continue to be
a weekly publication, however, under a
different arrangement of supervision be
ginning with the semester.
New elections were held Wednesday
night, December 15. Byron Haworth,
who has ably served as editor-in-chief
since elections last year, is now suc
ceeded by Joseph Cox, who has been
serving in the capacity of managing
editor. Mr. Cox is well capable of this
position, due to previous years of ex
perience in this work.
Ira G. Newlin takes the place of Mr.
Cox as managing editor. Mr. Newlin
goes to this work with the qualifications
which have come through his ability as
associate-editor as well as a reporter.
Frances Osborne, due to her compe

Basketball Practice in Full Swing as Doak Gets
His Material Lined Up For Early Jan. Games
Basketball practice at Guilford is now
well under way. Coach Doak lias al
ready cut the squad and is now driving
the men hard. Plenty of good material
seems to be prevalent and a prosperous
season is promised. Of last year's letter
men only three are back. They are
Coble and Captain Coltrane, guards, and
Moore, center. Griffin and Smith for
wards of last year's squad are out. Mar
shall and Ayers of last year's freshman
team are also back. Marshall is a guard
while Ayers plays equally as well eith
er forward or guard, but will 110 doubt
be used as forward because of the scar
city of forwards. Beatty and Pamperin,
freshmen, are showing up quite well as
forwards, Rabb and Holt will furnish
Moore plenty of competition at center.
Coach Doak has shifted these men into
various combinations in an effort to get
the best working one. Up until now lie
has used two to the best advantage. In
the first combination Griffin and Coble
play as forwards, Moore center, and
Marshal and Coletrane guards. In the

FORMED AND BEGIN
PROMOTION EFFORT
Mr. Cranford Hoyle Is Elected
President of Club Group

TO VISIT HIGH SCHOOLS
Their Object Is to Get the Better
Class of Students To Come To
Guilford College
Cranford Hoyle was elected president
of the "All County Club" at a meeting
of the representatives of the county
clubs, which was held here last Wednes
day night; Doris Tew was elected sec
retary.
The organization of county clubs
came as a result of a chapel talk last
Monday morning, given by Dr. Binford.
He said, "For a number of years after
the war colleges have faced the prob
lem of a great influx of students of all
kinds, many of whom were either not
prepared or did not have the ability for
college work. Hence a system of elimi
nation has grown up by which colleges
are re-adjusting themselves to ordinary
numbers."
Following up these remarks, Dr. Bin
ford suggested that county clubs be or
ganized so that the different students
from the same county may become bet
ter acquainted, and so that some con
structive work can be done during the
Christmas Holidays in getting the Sen
iors, of the high schools represented
here, interested in the advantages which
Guilford college has to offer them.
On Tuesday morning the following
clulis were organized and presidents
elected: Guilford, Murray White, Presi
dent; Alamance, Ira Newlin, President;
Bertie, Marie Barnes, President; Chat
ham, Wade Lindley, President; Chowan,
Ruth Lane, President; Davidson, Orlin
Sink, President; Forsythe, Raymond

President; Stokes, Raymond Thomas,
President; Surry, Walter Robertson,
President; Wayne, Ruth Malpass, Presi
dent; Yadkin, Waldo Williams, Presi
dent.

forwards, Moore center and Coble and
Coletrane guards.
A schedule has been arranged which
is the best one in years from the stu
dents viewpoint. A northern trip will
not be taken this year as in former
years, but instead there will lie more
home games and more games with state
teams. The first game 011 the schedule
is with State College at Raleigh Janu
ary 8.
For this reason the basket ball team
will be called back for practice before
the holidays are over. They will report
to Coach Doak about December 31st.
SWIMMING I'OOL
Last spring the faculty and students
contributed money in order to build a
swimming pool. The total receipts were
$78.39. The total expenditures were
$72.31. The payments and receipts were
looked over by Warren Taylor, Wilmer
Steele, and Mr. Cole and everything was
found to be satisfactory.

Pictures of Historic New Garden School
Are to Be Used—lf You Have Any
Please Loan Them For Use
The orphan Quaker is celebrating
Christmas by securing a home for itself.
Since it is to play an important part in
this world, the business manager deemed
it advisable to give it two homes. One
of these may be found with the Wrigley
Engraving company in Atlanta, Ga., the
other with the Queen City Printing
Company in Charlotte. These com
panies have been recommended by other
orphan annuals as being among the most
desirable homes. Their prices together
for the upkeep of our annual will be
approximately SI9OO.
On each division page will appear a
picture of some historic campus build
ing, such as New Garden Boarding
School, the King Halls which were
burned etc. In order to complete this
set it was necessary that a cut, or pic
ture, of the old grammar school building
that stood near the old meeting house
be secured. The only vivid available
picture of it was presented to Uncle Joe
Cannon by the college a few years ago,
since it was in this school that his fath
er taught. A letter has been sent to
his family asking permission to borrow
the picture long enough to have a cut
made from it.
Much material has already been re
ceived by the Staff, and the dummy is
completed in its first rough draft form.
All the photographs for the first sec
tion have been taken and proofs re
ceived. The photographer is now at
work on them. As soon as possible
after vacation all group pictures will be
taken. The photographic work is being
rapidly completed, at the same time, and
the work is most satisfactory.
While Santa Claus is visiting this
Christmas why not ask him, in a kind
way, for an extra donation so that pic
ture cuts may be completed at an early
date? By explaining to him how much
each person's picture means to the an
nual, and how much this annual is going
to mean to Guilford, it is obvious that
he will be kind in return. A few of

CHRISTMAS PROGRAM
GIVEN BY THE Y. W.
The Christmas program of the Y. W.
C. A. of Guilford College was given
Thursday evening. Christmas carols
were sung as the audience entered. Fol
lowing this, Maie Hollady, president of
the Y. W. gave a talk welcoming the
Y. M. C. A. and the other guests of thg
evening.
A prophecy from Isaiah was given by
Nell Stinson, and the Magnificat by
Sara Edgerton. A tableau of the three
wise men bringing gifts to the Christ
child was represented by members from
the Y. M. and Y. W. The audience then
sang "O Little Town of Bethlehem," fol-
lowed by a prayer service.
A pageant—"The Gift for the King"
symbolized the search for a gift worthy
to be given to the King. Greed, pleas
ure, wealth, were considered, but finally
Love, which means Self-Service and Sac
rifice, was chosen to be the only gift
worthy to be given to the King.
The program was planned and direct
ed by Alice Hazard.
