NEWS LETTERS SENT OUT
Centennial Committee Gets Work Well
Under Way, Keeping Old Students
and Alumni Informed
The business manager is very busy
at the present time sending letters to
our three thousand old students and
graduates of Guilford. The purpose of
this move is to keep the associates
closely in touch with the institution as
it now is and with the plans for the
future. Xo definite announcement has
been made about these letters except
that they are preliminary to more defi
nite plans to be carried out later. Tlie
plans are to send these news-messen
gers at two or three weeks intervals.
In the first one sent out there is first
of all a considerable section devoted to
historical sketch of Guilford, including
a story of the growth, development,
and influence of the institution. An
other part of the letter gives news
sketches, containing those things espe
cially interesting to old students. All
of this work is under the auspices of

SNOWED BY QUAKERS

Accurate Shooting—Alley and
Chisholm Play Well
FROSH TEAM DEFEATS JUNIORS
Feb.. 24. —The. Guilford. Reserves
snowed Oak Ridge Reserves under Fri
day night by the score of 43-32.
The Guilford team passed the ball all
around the heavier Oak Ridge team
and shot with deadly accuracy. The
Guilford team got off to an early lead
which they maintained and strength
ened up until the last few minutes of
play when numerous substitutes were
used by Guilford.
Alley was the bright light for Guil
ford, scoring 20 points. He was ably
assisted by Chisholm.
Solomon and Henry each played a
nice game for Oak Ridge.
Freshmen vs. Juniors
In the only inter-class basketball
game of the week the freshmen de
feated the .juniors, 27-24. The fresh
men found the juniors to be worthy
foes; in fact, the juniors maintained
the lead until just a few minutes be
fore the final whistle, when a field goal
and a foul accounted for the three
point advantage of the freshmen. Zach
ary, freshman center, was high scorer
with 14 points, closely followed by Hin
shaw, junior satellite, who accounted
for ten.

WILDCATS GET REVENGE
Feb. 20.—0n Monday evening Pat
Crawford's proteges routed the Cataw
ba cagers, winning a 35-22 victory. The
visitors took an early lead with a field
goal. Guilford quickly retaliated by
chalking up several consecutive points,
and gained a lead which was never
threatened. The first half ended 20-9.
In the second half, the Quakers were
offered a little more opposition. Even
at that, Crawford considered it expedi
ent to risk the affair in the hands of
a second string team. In the last few
minutes of play, the team was com
posed almost entirely of freshmen, who
held Catawba in check.
Haworth and Marshall were high
scorers for Guilford with 13 and 11
points, respectively. Griffin showed up
well, displaying clever floor work and
neat passing. Whisenhunt was high
scorer for the visitors with eight points.

GUILFORD'S SAMSON
M IIIIISI
■ ■ ■
We have here a tintype of powerful,
pulsating, puissant Pate, the redoubt
able, resolute, reputable wrestler, l'ate
fearlessly challenges the world and all
comers. Of heroic physique, truly lie
is a man of iron. He breaks bricks;
he bends horseshoes as though they
were but leather in his fingers; and
the mighty Sampson would be but a
child in the grasp of his sinews of
steel. Pate's prodigious power cannot
be measured; he twists his most fero
cious antagonists as easily as a child
would twist a piece of twine. Guil
ford is enormously proud of this bounc
ing baby boy, Floyd Pate, who has
developed into such a tower of
strength and marvel of skill. Indeed,
this is what Guilford does for her
devotees!
M'CRACKEN CARRIES
OUT AN EXPERIMENT
Students in Sociology Participate in
Teaching of Course Presenting an
Original Lesson Plan
BELIEVES IT TO BE REAL SUCCESS
By DUANE MCCRACKEN
In connection with our course in
general sociology we have carried out
what may be considered a novel experi
ment in student leadership.
According to this plan, each student
in the class was made responsible for
the preparation of a lesson plan on one
day's assignment. lie was then re
quired to conduct the recitation on the
basis of the plan he had prepared. The
order in which they appeared was de
termined by lot.
All students were required to pre
pare all assignments just as if the
regular instructor were in charge. At
the beginning the plan was announced
as a contest. The student preparing
and executing the best lesson plan was
to be announced as the winner. The
instructor was to sit with the other
students and keep still until near the
close of the period when he was to
give a critic's report.
I am pleased to announce that every
student co-operated splendidly m this
adventure. Practically every student
excelled in some respect. But, every
thing considered, Miss Alma Ilassel de
serves first honors. From the stand
point of execution alone, Mr. Howard
Trivette ranks first.
As a part of the final examination
each student was asked to criticise the
experiment favorably or unfavorably
as he saw fit. The most discriminating
criticism was given by Miss Louise
Kendall. Since these criticisms tell

GUILFORD ARGUFIERS
LOSE FIRST DEBATES
Catawba Wins Both Sides of
Dual Debate on U. S. Protec
tion of Foreign Investments
DEBATE A. C. C. MARCH 9
Feb. 21.—Catawba's debaters admin
istered a double defeat to Guilford's
teiini Tuesday night in a dual debate on
the subject, "Resolved: That the
United States should cease to protect
by armed force, investments in foreign
countries except after a formal declara
tion of war." Luther Frances and
Worth Mackie defended the negative
side of the query here, opposed by
Charles Weir and Henry Dobey, of
Catawba; while Byron Hawortli and
Claire Trueblood upheld the affirma
tive against Charles Warlick and
Robert Fisher at Catawba.
The debate in Memorial Ilall was
somewhat of an innovation, as the
Oxford plan of debating was partially
carried out. A vote of the audience
before the debate revealed 3!) in favor
of the affirmative, while at the end 40
favored this side of the query. The
debate was carried on more as a dis
cussion than a formal debate and there
was only one rebuttal.
Mr. Dobey and Mr. Weir contended
for the affirmative that our present
policy is a violation of international
law and due to its selfish aspects is
heaping up "coals of fire" on our
heads. They claimed further that
there is a more feasible plan and that
our armies should not be used to pro
tect the moneyed interests in foreign
countries, of American financiers.
Guidford's negative team pointed out
that the United States is morally and
legally bound to aid the South Ameri
can countries and that these countries
are being benefited by our policy.
The points of contention were simi
lar at Catawba and the debate was
hotly contested throughout. In both
cases the decision of the judges was
unanimous.
Guilford's next debate conies on
March 9, when the Guilford negative
team will meet the affirmative team of
Atlantic Christian College in Memorial
Ilall.
THE STATE ORATORICAL
CONTEST TRYOUTS HELD
Annual Contest to Be March 30—On
March 15 Guilford Men to Try for
Representative's Places
Try-outs for the honor of represent
ing Guilford in the annual State ora
torical contest will be held about
March 15. The contest, sponsored by
the North Carolina oratorical and fo
rensic league, is to take place at
Davidson College March 30. Each
member college is permitted and urged
to send one representative who may
deliver an oration on any subject he
desires to choose. The winner of first
place will be rewarded with a handsome
gold medal and the winner of second
place will receive a silver medal. Last
year the medal was won by Keith
Harrison, of High Point College.
It is not definitely known at this
time how many aspiring young orators
will enter the preliminary try-outs, but
according to all indications the com
petition will be very keen. Dean True
blood, who will coach the local orators,
is very anxious that a Guilford repre
sentative win one of the two prizes.

TOM SYKES SPEAKS
IN CHAPEL TUESDAY
Mentions Importance of a Clear Mind
in Order to See Spiritual and Ma
terial Things Aright
MUST BE REAL MEN AND WOMEN
Feb. 21. —Rev. Tom Sykes, of Iligli
Point, spoke to the student body in
chapel Tuesday morning, lie chose his
text from Matt. 24:21. "Most people,"
Mr. Sykes said, "care only for the
material things rather than the spirit
ual things in life." Once a small town,
by the side of a sea, drove Jesus away
from their town because lie drowned
devils in the form of pigs and they
thereby lost their pigs. They thought
more of a few pigs than they did of
being spiritually clean.
Just as every good housewife has a
spring cleaning every year, so should
we have a mental spring cleaning and
remove sill the mental rubbish and
trash from our minds. We should not
allow our minds to become stopped up
with trash so as to hinder us from
doing our tasks properly.
There is only one great way to satis
faction and that is to do the right
thing in the right way. There is no
satisfaction coming to us when we do
the wrong thing. Our great danger is
a lazy, sluggish satisfaction in becom
iu too easily pleased and not striving
to improve. Do we (the students of
Guilford College) realize that we are
walking, talking advertisements of
Guilford College, and that the college
is what we represent it to be?
Recently there has been a great plea
for world peace but unless we have
self-control we will not be able to
make the individual contribution neces
sary for world peace. We must be
real men and women and to be a man
or woman in the eyes of God is the
highest attainable object.
