VOLUME XIII
ANNUAL SPRING PLAY
IS PRESENTED ON
LAST NIGHT OF APRIL
Olin Sink, Almost Professional
in Title Role, Well Supported
by a Strong Cast
RAIN HURTS RECEIPTS
Dark Horse Talent Pleases Audience.
Like "Seven Keys to Baldpate" it is
Among Best Yet Produced
The Dramatic Council staged its an
nual spring play here Saturday evening
before a large and appreciative audi
ence.
The play, "Grumpy," was a four act
comedy, spiced with mystery and pa
thos. The entire cast assumed a pro
fessional atmosphere, and the perform
ance was received with much enthusi- 1
asm.
Olin Sink, who played the part of
Grumpy the deaf old man who bawls
out every member of the household and
loves them the next minute, was the
star of the evening. His keen mind
found a solution to even the most un
solvable mysteries.
Virginia, the heroine and adored
granddaughter of Grumpy, won her
way into the hearts of all, by her sunny
smile and the love and affection that
she showed for Grumpy.
Charles Coble, in the character of
Ernest Heron, grand-nephew of Grum
py and an ardent admirer of Vir
ginia, and possessor of a valuable dia
mond which he carried from Africa to
London, impressed the entire audience
with his plain and matter of fact way.
It was while he was stopping over night
at Gruinpy's house, that he was assault
ed and the diamond stolen from him.
He was found unconscious by Stanley
Moore, playing the role of Jarvis, a
guest in the house, who proves quite
interesting to the ladies, especially to
Virginia, but who in the end is the
thief. The part was played with ease.
The parts of Dr. and Mrs. McClaren
were well played by Arthur Mackie and
Hannah Griffin, and in spite of the
fact that Mrs. McClaren was rather
overdressed and was referred to by
Grumpy as a nasty little beast, they
were quite an attractive couple.
Ira Newlin was again cordially re
ceived, not as Peters the Hermit, this
time, but as Ruddock the perfect valet
and personal servant of Grumpy. The
very shrewd Jim Wo 1 ffe in the form
of Charles Robertson threw himself in
to his part so as to be a well rounded
character.
Other servants of note which added
greatly to the cast were Keble, played

MR. TURNER TO STUDY
BEREA'S ORGANIZATION
Guilford System Has Been Developed
Until One-Half of Students Now
Do Some Type of Work
F. Hill Turner, business manager of
Guilford college, left Sunday morning
for Berea college, Berea, Ky., where he
will study their famous organization of
student service. Mr. Turner has de
veloped an unusual system of student
service at Guilford college, until at
present over one-half of the Guilford
student body do some type of work to
help pay their way through college.
Mr. Turner believes that Guilford col
lege, situated as it is in the center of
a 300-acre tract of land and in the
midst of a thriving community such
as the Guilford community, and only
a few miles from Greensboro, presents
a field rich in possibilities for devel
opment along this line.

A class at George Washington Univer
sity recently waited fifteen minutes for
an instructor and then dispersed. The
next day the instructor claimed to have
been in the class because he had left
his hat on the desk. On the following
day upon entering the classroom he was
greeted with rows of chairs occupied
only by hats, but not one student. Our
informant does not state whether or not
the instructor left his hat and went
home.—New Student.
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., MAY 7, 1927
WALTER ROBERTSON,
IRA NEWLIN CHOSEN
Will Head Student Council and
the Y. M .C. A., Respectively,
Alter Heated Election
POLITICS SMOULDERS
Walter Robertson was elected presi
dent of the Men's Student Council and
Ira Newlin was chosen president of the
Y. M. C. A. at elections held during the
past week. An atmosphere of smoulder
ing society politics at times threatened
the traditional tranquility of the cam
pus.
At a mass meeting of the boys for
the election of the President for the
Men's Student Council of next year,
held last Friday, Mr. Walter Robertson
was elected by a large majority.
Mr. Robertson has already demon
strated that he is worthy of such a po
sition. This is his third year and he
is held in high esteem. As football cap
tain elect for next year, business mana
ger of the dramatic council, and an ac
tive participation in literary work, it is
felt that he will do much in carrying
forward the work of the council which
takes on more power and assumes new
responsibilities from year to year.
Those who are to represent this year's
Sophomore class on the council for next
year are Edwin Rozell and Robert
Ayers. The other classes have not yet
elected their representatives.
At the regular meeting of the Y. M.
C. A., Thursday evening, officers for the
ensuing year were elected.
Ira G. Newlin was chosen to succeed
Raymond Thomas as President. Mr.
Newlin holds several high offices in
different organizations on the campus
and these tend to qualify him for the
position for which he has recently been
chosen.
Robert Atkinson will succeed Ira
Newlin as Vice-President. He also holds
offices of responsibility and his ability
along several lines has been recognized.
The duties of the secretary have been
well carried out in the past year by
Gurney Lee Collins. Herman White, his
successor and a worthy man, will take
up the duties of this office for the next
scholastic year.
Leslie Murphy was chosen to follow
Raymond Ebert in handling the finance
of the organization. Mr. Murphy is a
business man, and all evidence points to
him as a well qualified treasurer.
The office of Marshal will continue to
be filled by a Newlin. Hale Newlin will
take up the work where left off by
Orlin Newlin.

BRASWELL WINNER
IN PHIL'S CONTEST
Julia Verner, Elizabeth Bras
well, and Gertrude Hire
the Speakers
19TH ANNUAL CONTEST
The nineteenth Oratorical Contest of
the members of the Philomathean Liter
ary Society took place in Memorial Hall
Auditorium Wednesday evening.
Julia Verner spoke first, on the "Chal
lenge of Today," a topic which reviewed
the social, political and religious prob
lems which confront the youths of to
day, not only at home but in inter
national relations.
"Child Labor" was the subject which
Elizabeth Braswell discussed; pointing
out how the need of reform along this
line was felt and what improvements in
laws restricting the work of children
had been made. The emphasis of the
talk was laid upon the necessity of fur
ther and more comprehensive reforms,
on the ground that child labor injures
the nation since it injures the indi
vidual ; that children have neither the
physical nor moral strength to stand la
bor conditions without breaking down.
Gertrude Hire described the crisis in
international peace arrangements which
the United States faces, and stressed
the part which education of the indi
vidual must play in preparing nations
for peace.
The judges, Miss Campbell, Mrs. Cole
and Professor Wilson, awarded the first
place to Miss Braswell on the strength
of her clear logical speech and excellent
delivery.
During the interim allowed for the
meeting of the judges Miss Chandos
Kimrey entertained the audience with
several charming selections.
VVesttown Alumni Day
A communication has recently been
received from the Alumni Association
of Westtown School relative to the an
nual "Alumni Day" to be celebrated
there on May 21 of this year. The pro
gram of an eleven o'clock tent meeting,
lunch on the campus, athletic events in
the afternoon, and a social evening, had
been arranged.
Many graduates and old friends of
Westtown are expected and "Old
Scholar's Day" will probably be an en
thusiastic get-together of old associates.

That the Other Has Defeated Due to
Inopportune Sore Arms
Coach Doak's Quakers received a
severe trimming at the hands of
Lenoir-Rhyne April 22 on the Quaker

For two innings neither team scored,
but in the first half of the third the
Lutherans located Coltrane's offerings
and sent the ball to all parts of the
field and secured seven runs. Their
second rally came in the seventh inn
ings when they scored five runs, Owl's
home run accounting for three of the
score. Stewart went in for Coltrano
but he could not hold the Lutherans
in check so he gave way to Whisenhunt.
The Quakers rallied in the eighth and
scored three runs but a double play cut
off the rally.
Clemer did good batting for the
Lutherans while Griffin led the Quakers
with two hits, a triple and a single.
