Effective as Argan and Beline; Esther
Reece Is Charming Daughter
May s.—The Guilford College Facul
ty Wives Club last niglit presented to
a large audience at Memorial Hall a
French comedy, "The Imaginary In
valid,'' by Moliere. The funds from
the play are to be used by the club in
buying new curtains for the auditorium.
The scene of the play is laid in Paris
in the 17th century. Argan, the in
valid. is quite proud of the fact that he
is sick and because he tears lie may die
he decides to make his will. I lis wife
Beline has done all in her power to
entice Argan to put his daughter,
Angelique, in a convent and not to
leave her any of the family fortune.
Because of her jealousy and deceitful
ness, Beline finally succeeds in her
purpose, with the exception of sending
the daughter to a convent. Angelique
lias secretly fallen in love with Cleante,
a French music master, but she cannot
bring him to her home because she is
afraid to tell her father. She confides

gets her out of tin; difficulty. Without
Angelique's knowledge Argan promises
to give her in marriage to Thomas

TOM SYKES CONDEMNS
GUILFORDIAN IN CHAPEL
Speaker Declares That Ideas Advocated
by the Editor Will Lead to
Immorality and Disaster
FEARS FOR CHASTITY OF HIS CAT
April 30—"I feel nervous—l've been
reading The Guilfordian lately and that
is enough to make anyone nervous,"
said Tom Sykes, well known High Point
minister, in chapel this morning. "There
has been an undercurrent of unrest, an
air of criticism prevalent expressed in
your college paper that bodes ill for
the institution," he continued.
"People are treading 011 dangerous
ground when they start questioning the
things that have been questioned here.
You may think you know it all, but
there are some things you do not need
to investigate. The things that have
been advocated here are the things that
lead to immorality. You say you know
a thing or two we older folks didn't
know, but don't be too sure. I have
been through the damaged goods de
partment of some of our state institu
tions and have seen the bodies of men
literally rotting away. You can't afford
to fool with some ideas. You don't need
to investigate; you need to follow the
path of Jesus."
The things that compete, that con
flict with the Christ-like way, are dan
gerous, are not worthy of our atten
tion."
"Anyone that speaks of platitudes in
connection with Christianity of the
Christ-like way is off the track," said
the speaker, referring to a recent edi
torial in The Guilfordian. "I would
not trust such a person with my daugh
ter —110, I would not trust him out in
the back yard with my cat," concluded
Mr. Sykes.

Miss Louise

M iss H. Louisa Osborne, who for
some weeks has been ill and was
taken to a hospital in Indianapolis,
Indiana, on April 8, has been re
moved to her home at Greensboro,
Indiana, after an apparently suc
cessful operation. Although her con
dition at the present time is not crit
ical, she does not seem to be gain

expected.

QUAKER NET MEN GET
EVEN BREAK ON TRIP
Rain I'lays Havoc With the Plans for
a Four-Day Invasion of Western
North Carolina Colleges
The Guilford tennis team broke even
in their invasion into Western North
Carolina. Rain interfered with a third
match that was to have been played at
Rutherford.
The Catawba crew were taken on
April 16th and the Guilford men scored
a 5-2 win over their rivals. This was
the Quakers' first inter-collegiate meet
of the season and they showed good
form. Mackie, Spivey, and Van der
Voort won both their single and double
matches.
The team was scheduled to play
Leiioir-Rhyne on the 17th. Due to the
inclement weather the meet was held in
the gymnasium. Guilford's men had
never played indoors before and were
at a disadvantage. The lighting facili
ties were poor and, as there was but
one court, the play continued until 10
o'clock. Lenoir finally won, 6-1. Mackie
scored Guilford's love win in his sin
gles after a hectic three sets, 6-2, 6-8, 7-5.
THE
given in such a way that the credit can
go to either the Department of Educa
tion or the Department of Philosophy.
In special cases courses will he given
where only one or two students apply,
thus approximating the tutorial system.
The girls will stay in Founders Hall
and the boys in Archdale. Previously
the boys have stayed in Cox, but since
there will be just about enough to fill
Archdale, it will be better to have them
centrally located. 1
Dean Trueblood believes t' at, due to
the number of applications already re
ceived, the enrollment will be slightly
larger than usual, lie also made it
clear that the work in the summer ses
sion was to be of the same academic
standard as the rest of the year's work.
LADIES OF BENNETT
SING AT Y MEETING
Miss Jessie Lee Johnson, First Soprano,
Especially Good, and Miss L'Freda
Sandifer Is Well Received
SPIRITUALS MAKE BEST APPEAL
April 25. —Probably one of the best
entertainments of the year was that
given Wednesday evening, when the
women's double quartet of Bennett Col
lege gave a concert before a joint meet
ing of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A.
in Memorial Hall. The concert was di
rected by Miss Ernestine Y. Burton,
head of the voice department of Ben
nett College. Miss Burton also acted
as accompanist.
The program consisted of solo, quar
tette, and octette numbers. Perhaps the
best received numbers were a group of
spirituals, given by the octette, a solo,
"Homing," by Miss Jessie Lee Johnson,
and a contralto solo, "Not Understood,"
by Miss L'Freda Sandifer.
The entire program was well given
and it was, indeed, one of the best re
ceived of the whole year. The musical
selections chosen seemed to be selected
by criteria for excellence, distinction,
and freshness. Especially noticeable
was the work of Miss Jessie Lee John
son, first soprano, who carried the solo
parts in many of the numbers. She
sang with much ease and grace.
The personnel of the octette is as fol
lows: First sopranos, Misses Johnson
and Wright; second sopranos, Misses
Davis and Ilayley; first altos, Misses
Price and Caldwell; second altos, Misses
Sandifer and Mitchell.

Walter Robertson, of Mt. Airy. Mr.
Hoyle is a prominent member of the

PHILS AT RECEPTION
Sketches From "As You Like

Festive Place for Occasion
Refreshments Served
May 4. —A modernized Shakespearian
program featured the Phil-Web recep
tion, which was held Friday evening.
The first number, given by Mary Lou
Wilkins, was a revealing autobiography
of Shakespeare, in which he told in for
mal detail all the main events of his
life and assured us that he is resting
quite comfortably now in his tomb. In
"The Prologue," Ruby Hall warned us
that untoward events were about to take
place in the name of art, and she begged
us not to be alarmed. "As You Like It"
proved to be vocal solos by Jo Paul,
while "Hamlet's Soliloquy,'' by Nell
Thomas, was the ever-passing question
of whether to be or not to be a grind.
The proper romantic touch was fur
nished by the balcony scene from
"Romeo and Juliet," in which Effie
Stevens and Jo Paul had stellar parts.
Juliet seated herself comfortably on a
table, there being no balcony handy,
and held forth at great length about
the quality and quantity of her love
for Romeo. That infatuated youth be
lieved every word of it.
Tragedy followed fast on the foot
stops of romance. The witch scene from
"Macbeth" couldn't have been more
eerie in the original. Annie Wagoner,
Katie Stuckey, and Louise Melville were
excellent hags. With truly witch-like
premonition they foretold the dreary
future. The two Wilkins sisters are
doomed to a life of travel, selling re
ducing creams and what not, while Wal
ter Robertson is to be a Palmolive add
model. Annie Smith, due to so much
boozing at college, has turned her own
bootlegger.
