October ,26, 1927 I SOCIETY NOTES | Z* 1 *uPo tuix 1 ) PHIL NOTES President Sallie Wilkins Vice-President Espie Neece Secretary Josephine Paul Treasurer Nell Stinson Marshall Mary Alice Futrell The Phils enjoyed a very interesting meeting Friday evening, the theme of the program being "Southland Writers." Gertrude Blow gave a splendid sketch of the life of O. Henry. "The Missing Chord," one of O. Henry's early short stories, was very effectively told by Katheline Reynolds. The third number was composed of three victrola selec tions by Rosa Mae Proctor. Katie Stuckey then read some poems from "A Heap o' Livin'," by Edgar A. Guest. The last number furnished the humor for the program when Alma Hassell, as the "Office Dog," read some jokes.

Most of the numbers on the Pliilo mathean Society program Friday eve ning, October 21st, were in one way or another related to the past —past illu sions, past memories, jiast joys, past customs. Margaret Fawcett chose for a topic of discussion, "Is College What I Ex pected It to Be?" Through childhood and high school days one gathers many false illusions about college, its work, its experiences, its difficulties. After six weeks of college life, the one dis cussing this question testifies "my dis illusionment has all been very pleas ant." The poem entitled, "A Backward Look," was read by Louise Melville. The distance of time ovei which Riley, its author, surveyed his youth, made him forget sorrow, pain and aches, and wish to recall again boyhood's golden joy. Following, Mary Reynolds played a piano solo, "Amaryllis," in which the music was both light, airy, weird, and mystic. The interpretation Myra Vickery made of some customs of the country schools recalls to mind the fact that in some dim past day such a backward institution did exist. Eunice McPher son directed a comedy, "Crackers," in which Nell Thomas and Effie Stevens starred. This, too, dealt with school life of a past age. A collection of memories was an im portant feature on the program. Merlie Sizemore, Edith Marshburn, Deborah Harvey, Pauline Cliaffin, and Thelma King each did their share in showing some of the characteristic things peo ple remember. WEB NOTES President Leslie Murphy Secretary Glenn Robertson Treasurer YVilmer L. Steele, Jr. Marshall G. A. Yelverton, Jr. The program presented in the Web sterian Society October 21 was one of the most interesting programs of the year. The question for debate was: "Resolved, That immigration to the United States should be further restrict ed by educational requirements." The affirmative, composed of Rebmert Pat rick and 01 in Sink, won over Talmadge Knight and Alton Tew, the negative speakers. The next number was an instrumental solo by Bunyan Andrews. This was especially enjoyed because it was a change in the old form of program. Thomas Iladley gave a talk on the I "Life and Teachings of George Fox." CLAY NOTES President Robert Griffin Secretary Robert Van der Voort Censor Scott Parker Chaplain Currie Spivey Treasurer Everette Beaman Serfieant-at-Arms Elvin Haworth One of the best debates of the year was given in tlie Henry Clay Society Friday night. The question was: "Re solved, That the United States should adopt the metric system as a standard of measurements." Sinclair Williams and Ben Beach, of the affirmative, eon- THE GUILFORDIAN tended that since all countries except England and the United States have adopted the metric system and these two use it in scientific work, and since it is much more simple than the English system in that it is a decimal system the only wise thing for the United States to do is to adopt it. The affirm ative won over the negative, which was upheld by Glenn T?oose and Charlie Zacliary. Waldo Williams gave a helpful dis cussion of the Teapot Dome question. FRESHMAN EPISTLES L. Francis October 30, 1827. Written at Home. My dear loving son, Guilford College, N. C. On the Friendly Road. Dearest John: I must offer an apology for not an swering your kind letter any earlier. I wrote to you but through mistake, it was not mailed. Everything is going fine up here, John, but ma sure do miss you. There is nothing to do here but work. I have been sowing wheat, but first I had to break the land. We have also been picking cotton. It i,s hard to pick this year. Don't you think, John, the mules run away with your coursin Will, and it didn't do anything except break his leg, the right one I believe. Your Aunt Nannie come up to stay a week, and she was awfully glad that you had gone off to get educated. She said she was proud of stuck up folks. I know you have to work hard, but as for me, I had as soon see you come back home. You know my pocket change is getting low, and you say you will have to have another big amount in a weak or two. I'll tell you son, it goes hard without you here. But as usual, I reckon you will come home again in a weak or two. I would lie awfully glad to see you, and for your mania, she is out of her head. She dreamed seeing you in one of them football breeches the other night, and she is pestered over it. She thinks you will l>e killed by some of them wild hags down there. But I told her to take her dreams backwards. You prom ised not to play football, and I can trust you, my son. What I am afraid of is that evolution which I am afraid will get into your head some way. Son, I know you won't read a book Avith it in it, will you. Your mama said not to get into bad company but to stay with the good boys. I know you love your mama and will mind her. Go to Sun day school occasionally. Don't work too hard for, son, I don't know whether you know it or not, but it will ruin your mind. Jimmie has got a little calf, I bought for him. lie thinks that there is noth ing like it. lie wants you to get liini a saddle in Greensboro if you can. Well, John, I must go to bed. It is getting late—almost eight now. Whatever you do be a good boy, and don't do anything your papa wouldn't do. YOUR FATHER. P. S.: Your ma set an old hen under fine eggs and is waiting patiently for them to hatch. - SOPHOMORE GIRLS HAVE PICNIC MEETING THURS. The Sunday School Class of Sopho more girls had a regular meeting in the form of a picnic last Thursday, Oc tober 20, at the college pond. Most of the members of the class were present to enjoy the fun and good eats. Wieners were in plenty to be roasted over the big fire prepared before the picnicers arrived. Rolls without choco late and sandwiches were served. Naturally marshmallows followed in their proper order. After the eating had subsided and the president had addressed the crowd the meeting was turned into a Soph, pep meeting. The girls learned new class songs and also sang many old melodies. The fun con tinued along the way back to the col lege, as girls occasionally slipped into mudlioles in their hectic wandering. It was voted to have another business meeting after this fashion. MARY HODGIN ELECTED DAY-GIRLS' PRESIDENT About twenty Day-Girls, accompanied by Mrs. Andrews, enjoyed a picnic to gether at the College Pond, last Thurs day evening. The party left Founders Ilall at five a.m., and hiked to the Pond, where everybody enjoyed the supper of hot dogs, sandwiches, marslimallows, and hot cocoa, around a large campfire. Just after supper, a short business session was held, during which officers for the year were elected. They were: President, Mary Hodgin; secretary and treasurer, Louise Kendall; marshall, Alethia Thomas. Mrs. Andrews made a short talk in which she expressed the hope that the Day students, dormitory students, and faculty might become bet ter acquainted this year.
