Elected Captain of
Squad for 1928
A. K. MOORE PRESIDES
Stars Are Awarded Six Men and Let
ters to Ten Men —Crawford Talks
on "Atheltic Integrity"
Jan. 7.—A banquet was given in
Founders dining hall Saturday evening
by the alumni and old students of
Guilford College in honor of the foot
ball squad of 30 men and their coach,
Pat Crawford. The occasion was
planned, not on account of the record
made by the football team, but to show
the real appreciation of the alumni for
the faithful and diligent work of the
entire squad. Mention was made of
the fact that it was necessary for the
coach to use men who had never before
had on a uniform, yet the efficient
training and the splendid physical con
dition of every man made it possible
for the Quakers to outplay the ma
jority of the teams they met in the last
quarter of the contest.
A. K. Moore, president of the Alum
ni Association, acted as toastmaster of
the occasion. He introduced the speak
ers of the evening who paid tribute to
the football mpii and to Coach Pat
Crawford's athletic policy of clean
sportsmanship by keeping out the
ringers.
Prominent Guilfordians were pres
ent from High Point, Greensboro, Win

PROF M'CRACKEN GIVES
REPORT OF CONFERENCE
Reviews Conference Discussion of De
velopment of Hydro-Electric
Power in N. C.
MAKES VISIT TO MT. VERNON
Jan. 10.—Prof. Duane McCracken
gave a repoi t of the economics conven
tion at Washington that he attended
during the Christmas holidays, Tuesday
morning. Before he began his report,
however, he mentioned several other
people from the college who had taken
extended tours during holiday's,
Clare Trueblood required the least
finances, but Mr. Noah and Miss Hanna
received more experience driving a
third-hand Ford. Upon arriving at his
destination, Professor McCracken se
cured a room with Professor Hoover, of
Duke University, who he said turned
out to be a very congenial room-mate.
Professor McCracken stated that the
topic for much discussion Avas the re
cent development of the hydro-electric
power in the Carolinas. Nevertheless,
it was stated that North Carolina was
not thought of as an economical state
and was not recognized economically.
In the course of his study at the con
vention he said that he discovered that
there are three kinds of liars, namely:
white liars, black liars, and statisticians.
During some of his leisure hours, Pro
fessor McCracken said that he had vis
ited Mount Vernon, the home of the
Father of Our Country. This structure
is in a good state of preservation due
to the care of the organization that
has it in charge. Professor McCracken
advised those who had never been to
Mount Vernon to go at the first chance
they got in order to see the beauty of
the whole place and especially the Po
tomac river winding through the hills.

GUILFORDIAN
Max Noah to Be
Choir Director
Mr. Max Noah, head of the Music
department of the college, recently
accepted a position in the Asheboro
Street Friends' Church of Greens
boro, as choir director and soloist.
The Asheboro Street Friends feel
themselves very fortunate in acquir
ing a man as capable as Mr. Noah
to accept this position, for he has
done extensive work as a soloist and
as a chorus director.
BERKHART TALKS ON
PROBLEMS OF TODAY
Is Representative of Interna
tional Association of Re
ligious Education
IDEALS ARE IMPORTANT
Jan. 9.—Guilford's first outside chapel
speaker for 1928 was Mr. A. J. Berk
hart, who spoke Monday morning. Mr.
Berkhart is one of the secretaries for
l he International Association for Re
ligious Education. There are two kinds
of people—those who can, do, and those
who can't teach. Likewise there are
two kinds of speeches. His, Mr. Berk
hart said, was like a ribbit's tail—only
a suggestion. In visiting other colleges
Mr. Berkhart discovered that there are
several outstanding problems of college
men and women. One is that of dis
covering personality release. Most peo
ple show their real personality only in
crises. Three men were climbing a
mountain in the Alps, tied to each other
with a rope. One slipped and two of
them were dangling over a precipice.
The other pulled out his knife and cut
himself loose, watching the others
hurled to death beneath. All the world
hates a selfish man, but honors an un
selfish one. The Cincinnati man whose
car stalled on the railroad tracks as a
train was approaching, and who saved
his sweetheart and a child by giving
his own life, showed his personality in
full.
A second problem is that of finding
a balanced program, of finding your
best in college and hence in life. In
dian Chief Evergreen said the white
people have no poise. Every avenue of
life demands poise and it is expressed
in character. The Indian acquires his
poise through the worship of the Great
Spirit and worship causes the beauty
of his poise.
Another problem of college men and
women is th.it of finding the technique
of friendship-making. It is not the
easily made friendship that lasts. The
world depends upon the ideals of young
manhood and young womanhood. It is
the duty of the young college men and
women to go out into the world and
tea;-h home life and beauty.

Making Amends
A man went to a newspaper office and
complained that his death had been an
nounced erroneously.
"Well," said the editor, "we never con
tradict anything we have published, but
111 tell you what I'll do. I'll put you
in the births column tomorrow and give
you a fresh start."

GUILFORD FIVE WINS
FROM A. C. C. BUT
LOSES TO ELONITES
Quakers Lose to Tar Heels
With Score of
42-24
ARE SHOWING GOOD FORM
Score in A. C. C. Game Is 34-28, While
Quakers Yield to Chris
tians by 24-23
Jan. 14.—1n a very close and exciting
game at Wilson Saturday night, Guil
ford defeated A. C. C. 34-28, thereby
winning their first college game of the
season. While the game was rather
rough, brilliant basketball was played
at times. The Quakers hopped off to
a lead of four points in the first few
minutes. They stayed ahead until the
end of the first quarter, when the score
was knotted, 12 all. A. C. C. was ahead
once between then and the end of the
half when Guilford was leading, 20 to
16. After this the score was tied sev
eral times, but the Christians never
were ahead. In the last five minutes
of play Guilford gathered a six-point
lead, Coltrane shooting two field goals
and Coble one. Guilford then froze
the ball until the end of the game. The
Quakers resorted to a fast passing at
tack, shooting only under the basket,
while the A. C. C. team resorted to
long shots frequently. The whole Guil
ford team played well, Haworth being
high scorer. The bright lights for the
Christians were Fulghum and Munn.
Guilford vs. Elon
Jan. 10.—Tuesday evening, in a furi
ously contested game, the Elon quintet
defeated the Quaker five by the narrow
margin of one point. The Guilford
team presented an impregnable defense,
which often foreed the Elon boys to
shoot from the center of the court.
Guilford pierced the Elon defense
easily and, but for their inconsistent

COMMUNITY CHORAL
CLUB SINGS SUNDAY
Large Audience Appreciative.
Club Appears Best in
"Pilgrim's Chorus"
PROGRAM AT HIGH POINT
The Guilford College community
chorus was quite successful in its
cert at High Point Friends church Sun
day evening, January 15. The church
was crowded and many were turned
away for lack of room. The audience
seemed very well pleased with the work
of the chorus and other numbers.
The chorus itself sang three big num
bers. Probably it sang best the "Pil
grims' Chorus" from Wagner's "Tann
hauser." The coloring was very good
for an amateur chorus. In "The
Heavens Are Telling," by Haydn, Jose
phine Paul, Glenn Robertson and Paul
Reynolds sang the special trio. This
number is a very difficult one, yet was
done very well. The closing chorus
was the "Hallelujah Chorus" from
"The Messiah."
The two glee clubs, the Euphonians
and the Minnesingers, each sang a
group of songs. Each of the clubs ap
peared quite artistically, especially the
Minnesingers in their first number,
"Far Away in the South,"by Adams.
A double quartet from the men's glee
club sang two selections which were
much appreciated by the congregation.
Mr. Noah appeared with an interest
ing solo from "The Messiah," in which
he showed good musicianship, and ex
cellent tone quality. He also played
three organ numbers as prelude, offer
tory and postlude.
The program in its entirety follows:
Organ prelude, "Offertoire in A Flat,"
Read—Prof. Max Nogh.
"Would God I Were a Tender Apple
Blossom," Weidig; "Just for Today,"
Abbot; "Thanks Be to God," Dickson;
"Pilgrims' Chorus," Tannhauser—Com
munity Chorus.

Suggestions
SUBSCRIBERS' IDEAS SOLICITED
Just before Christmas vacation the
"Guilfordian Questionnaire" was pre
sented to the students in an effort to
find out their opinions of the paper, as
well as to solicit their criticisms. In
response to this effort, 55 freshmen, 47
sophomores, 49 juniors, 17 seniors, and
two faculty members filled out the
blanks.
| One hundred and sixty-two of these
people usually read the daily paper,
while 17 do not; 157 belong to literary
societies and 36 do not, while 154 re
ceive the Guilfordian and 32 do not.
In the question of reading the paper
partially or fully, an almost even di
vision was found, in that 88 people
read it fully and 87 partially. Sixty
three persons believed that the paper
had improved in recent years, and four
thought that it had degenerated; six
believe that it had degenerated during
the past year, although 100 think it
has improved. Opinion seemed to be
varied in regard to more write-ups of
past events, the "Yes" taking 68 and
the "No" 41. With the exception of
one, 162 wished more write-ups of fu
ture events. In regard to the various
types of articles read, the results were
as follows:: Chapel talks, 73; society
notes, 118; play write-ups, 120; elec
tions, 80; feature articles, 106; Y. M.
