GLEE CLUB MAKES
ENVIABLE SHOWING
AT HOME CONCERT
Chorus and Solo Number Are
Creditably Given Before a
Small Audience
ORCHESTRA IS FEATURE
Grady Miller's Jazz Orchestra Plays As
An Added Attraction Making a
Very Varied Program
The College (Jlee Club closed its sea
son with a concert at Memorial hall
Saturday evening. Mr. Miller, as di
rector of the club, has put out a tine
organization of boys who sing with rare
precision and skill in all types of songs.
They can change from religious to sec
ular or to humorous with equal ease.
The concert Saturday night proved
to be a creditable finish to the season's
series of concerts. The opening por
tion of the program was entirely re
ligions numbers. The rendition of the
Doxology, which opened the program,
was somewhat varied from the usual,
in that it was sung as a chant instead
of the Doxology. These religious num
bers were well sung in a reverent mood
that caused the audience to feel the
spirit of prayer. Antiphonal music by
two groups in the club, chorus num
bers and a quartette completed this
group.
The second half of the program was
secular and popular music. In this
group solos by Mr. Cox and Mr. Rich
ardson proved very popular. Mr. Cox
nung "U.vps.v I.ove Song," with Gloe
Club accompaniment on the choruses.
Mr. Richardson sang "Blue Skies," and
"A Little Girl and a Little Boy, a Lit
tle Moon," then sang "There's Some
thing Nice About Everyone" as an en
core.
Mr. Miller's Greensboro High School
orchestra played several numbers in
this part. The orchestra and the solos
by Mr. Miller together with the humor
ous quartette composed of Ralph Rich
ardson. French llolt, Hardin Kinirey
and Joseph Cox proved to be the hits
of the evening.
The club closed the program with a
group of numbers and lastly, "Alma
Mater."
After the concert the club was host
to the college at an informal reception
011 the steps of the library.

NEW GARDEN JUNIORS
ENTERTAINED ON PICNIC
The juniors from Founders and Cox
halls gave the class a picnic 011 last
Wednesday evening. Promptly at five
o'clock the juniors assembled in front
of Founders hall and strolled off
through the woods to a green spot over
by the college stream.
lOveryone helped in collecting wood
and a huge bonfire was built. While
some of the more industrious members
cooked supper the others walked around
in search of strawberries and wild
flowers. At a signal from the cooks
they all returned to a supper of bacon
and eggs, sandwiches, pickles, rolls and
coffee.
After the meal was over quite an in
teresting. although painful, game was
participated in by the aid of paddles.
The evening came to n close by roast
ing marshmallows around the tire, fol
lowed by a walk back to the college in
the early twilight. No accidents hap
pened except that Sudie Cox dropped
one foot in the branch due to an error
in knighthood and Mabel Shipp is re
ported to have eaten 35 marshniallows.
Qy THE fD
GUILFORDIAN
A NEW RING DESIGN
IS BEING DISCUSSED
Heated Arguments Surround
Letting Contract and Change
of Class Ring Design
NO AGREEMENT REACHED
Contracts for senior rings and new
designs for rings have been rather free
ly and liotly debated at times during
the past few weeks.
Some time ago a northern linn offered
to renew its contract to furnish rings
for the next five years. Since the firm
does not advertise in the college publi
cations. the move was opposed by sev
eral who contended that the contract
should be let to a patron of the colloge.
The whole affair in connection with the
contract has become a "Tizz-Taint" dis
cussion. Many of the present rings
have been very unsatisfactory in qual
ity, especially in consideration of the
cost, in the opinion of several seniors.
A few contend that the question of
advertising has nothing to do with
the case. A rather formidable group
contends that it is for the best interest
of the college as a whole to trade in
Greensboro. The question of relative
quality to be obtained is entirely too
permeated with personal prejudice on
both sides to get the best of results.
The question of a change of design
came to the surface rather spontaneous
ly in tiie wake of the contract squabble.
The present design is used also by Elon
and Salem colleges and some thought
that a new and distinctive design char
acteristic of Guilford should be adopted.
'Plie opposition contends that it would
lie like changing the college seal and
that it would also be probable that live
years frow now the new student group
would also be tired of the design. The
rebuttal to this was that there has been
general dissatisfaction with the present
design for some time and that the pres
ent time is most opportune for a change.
A general idea of the proposed de
sign has been decided upon by the joint
class committee on rings. They have
proposed to have a relief of Founders
entrance with boxwood and magnolia
trees. Opposite this would be a Quaker
silhouette. The ring would be of yel
low gold with a red ruby stone.

Guilford College commencement ex

In securing Dr. Rolvix Harlan, head
of the Department of Sociology and So
cial Ethics, University of Richmond,
to deliver the commencement address
011 June 7 at 10 a. 111., Guilford has
been very fortunate indeed. Dr. Ilar

MR. TURNER RETURNS
FROM VACATION TRIP
Spends Most of His Time at Berea Col
lege Studying the Plan of Student
Work System
VISITS FRIENDS IN MICHIGAN
Mr. F. Hill Turner, business niaanger
of the college, has returned from his
trip across the Blue Ridge and Cum
berland mountains. Mr. Turner spent
a great deal of his vacation in Kentucky
and particularly at Berea College.
Berea College is a history within it
self. It has worked out a plan that 110
other college has today, a plan by
which a student works to pay >7 per
cent of his total expenses of tuition,
subsistence, shelter, books, etc. It is
probably true that the time so spent
only heightens the zest for study. The
officials contend that if all labor could
see its wage transmuted into such defi
nite benefit in terms of the highest as
piration of mankind, there would he less
fear of the consequence of lengthening
the leisure day.
The Xcw York Time s of October 5,
102(5, has this to say: "With a some
what different division of labor and
learning, Berea's schedule might well
he not for the period of college training
but for life." "It is an investment that
has >7 cents of students labor in self
support. associated with .'UI cents of
contribution to make a dollar give its
greatest benefit."
Probably the object of Mr. Turner's
visit to Berea was to become acquainted
with the work of such, that a similar
schedule may sometime he established
at Guilford.
After leaving Berea, Mr. Turner
drove to Michigan, where lie visited
friends and relatives for a number of
days. lie reports a nice trip and a well
spent vacation.

Throughout the Trip—Gouffh
Gets "One Homer
The Guilford baseball team returned
Friday night from an eight-day trip
through Virginia to Washington, D. C.
Four games were played on this trip
and one was rained out. Guilford won
one of the four, deserving to win two
others, but losing on account of errors
at critical moments.
On Friday, the thirteenth, Ilampden-
Sidney was encountered and Guilford
lost by the score of four to two. Col
trane pitched a very good game and
should have won by the score of two
to one.
It was a very nice game but for one
inning when Ilauipden-Sidney scored
two runs after two men were down and
Guilford had been given a chance to
return the ball.
Hrinser, llanipden-Sidney's tirst-base
liian, played a nice game for his team
mates, handling all liis chances with
ease and getting two triples.
Gougli and Coltrane were the bright
lights for Guilford, Gougli hitting a
terrific home run with Taylor on base,
thus accounting for both of Guilford's
runs.
