MRS. BINFORD TO BE
ART EXHIBIT HOSTESS
O. Henry Ball Room to Contain Many
Etchings from the Museum in
Charleston, South Carolina
COLLEGES TO BE REPRESENTED
Nov. 28. —Mrs. Raymond Binford will
represent Guilford College as hostess
at the Exhibit of Art and Etchings at
the O. Henry Hotel this week.
A rare opportunity for art lovers is
presented by the exhibition of wood
block prints and etchings, which are
the property of the Charleston museum
of Charleston, S. C., loaned to the
Greensboro Historical Museum Society.
The bringing of tlie collection to
Greensboro this week and the display
ing of a group of paintings will tend
to belie the allegation that people of
North Carolina are indifferent to art
of tlie better sort.
The exhibition will be opened to the
public at ten o'clock Tuesday morn
ing. The hours the exhibition will
remain open for the remainder of the
week are from ten o'clock in tlie morn
ing to one o'clock in the afternoon and
from three to six o'clock in the after
noon.
Tuesday is the city schools day.
Wednesday will be Greensboro College
day, Thursday is to be Woman's Club
day, Friday will be N. C. C. W. day,
and Saturday, tlie final day of the ex
hibition, will be Guilford College day.
GUILFORDIAN
MINNESINGERS ENTER
THE STATE CONTEST
Stiff Practice and Drill Gets the Boys
Ready to Compete With Other
North Carolina Colleges
HAVE HIGH HOPES OF HONOR
The Guilford College Minnesingers
have been actively training for the past
two or three weeks for the state glee
club contest which is to be held at Duke
University, in Durham, on December 6.
The club has high hopes of winning the
contest this year. It is hoped that the
same fighting spirit will be developed
by the Minnesingers that Coach Shep
avd's football team now possesses. Last
year, due to some unknown reason,
probably inexperience, the club failed
to receive any recognition except that
of honorable mention.
A concert has been scheduled for De
cember 3, which will give the club prac
tice before an audience before the con
test.
The following is a list of this year's
club: Glen Robertson, French Holt, F.
Cox, H. C. Turner, N. White, W. Mackie,
Mathews, first tenors; J. Strickland, W.
Davis, M. Lindley, J. Robertson, R.
Richardson, O. Thompson, second ten
ors; W. Ingerman, B. Andrews, L. Mur
phy, W. Steele, A. Tew, R. Atkinson,
J. Booker, baritones; C. Wray, P. Tew,
R. Van der Voort, Hampton, E. Wil
liams, S. Williams, basses; Glen Rob

DR. BINFORD SPEAKS
AT HARMONY GROVE
Bernice Henley Talks on Young Friends
Activities and Mabel Holton Di
rects Missionary Pageant
PERISHO TELLS QUAKER HISTORY
Nov. 25. —Guilford College has been
taking an active part in the quarterly
institutes which are being held in
various sections of the Yearly Meet
ing, Dr. Raymond Binford, Dr. Ehvood
Perisho, Miss Mabel Ilolton, and Miss
Bernice Henley being the college repre
sentatives at the institute which is be
ing held at Harmony Grove Saturday
and Sunday.
On Saturday Dr. Raymond Binford
conducted a blackboard discussion on
the duties of the local church. His
leading questions pertained to the task
of the church, which is generally con
ceded to be the saving of its people.
More and more specific questions were
then asked, until the duties of the
various Yearly Meeting committees
had been brought out. In this way
the work of the church becomes a real
feature and is much more highly sup
ported. Dr. Binford also presented the
general plan of the Quaker organiza
tion, from the Monthly Meeting to the
Five Years Meeting.
Miss Mabel Holton had charge of
tlie presentation of the missionary
pageant which is presented at each
institute. Her task is to find local
characters to fit the parts and to at
tend to the costuming.
Dr. Ehvood Perisho spoke on Sunday
concerning the many things Quakers
have done in the history of North
Carolina. They established the first
permanent religious meeting for wor
ship, tlie first Bible school, and the
first teachers training school.
Miss Bernice Henley spoke on the
work of the Christian Endeavor and
other phases of the young people's
work.

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., NOVEMBER 28, 1928
FALL PLAY TO BE
GIVEN DECEMBER 8
A well-blended combination of comic
and tragic elements characterize the
play, "Icebound," which will be pre
sented by the Dramatic Council on De
cember 8.
Every character is decidedly human.
This is brought out by the fact that
the Jordan family is waiting impa
tiently, hoping to become legates, after
the last twitch of life leaves Mrs. Jor
dan.
When the will is brought to light by
Judge Bradford, Bunyan Andrews, the

COLLEGE BAZAAR IS
SCENE OF REVELRY
Weary Students Forget Their Cares for
an Evening of Fun and Frolic;
Viv Color Scheme
SPONSORED BY Y. W. AND Y. M.
Nov. 22.—C010r and gaiety featured
the College Bazaar which was held at
New Garden Hall on Thursday evening
from seven until nine-thirty. Plenty of
good eats were sold to students, who
were hungry for sweets and dainties.
A bowling alley attracted a great deal
of attention, while a real for sure fish
pond yielded forth many and sundry
bits of candy, toys, et cetera. Two
flashingly dressed Gypsies guarded a
secret booth, within which unknown
proceedings revealed to the more ad
venturous their fortunes. A central
booth held gifts and candy.
All records of modernistic art were
broken by the exotic color scheme of
the New Garden dining hall. The cen
ter of the room was occupied by a large
booth, each side of which was deco
rated with separate color schemes of
brown and gold, lavender and royal
purple, black and silver and light and
dark green. Three sides of the booth
displayed gifts which were for sale.
These had been contributed by the
young women of the college. Pretty
linens, handkerchiefs, a tea set, and
clever novelties made up the greater
portion of these gifts. Delicious home
made candy was quickly sold.
The windows, which for years had
been neglected, were dressed in gala
curtains of brilliant colors. Diagonals
and angles made one's eyes quite
dizzy.
Tea tables for two and four were
placed about the room and were graced
by yellow chrysanthemums. Menu
cards were in evidence, and for each
table there was a waitress.
When the music began, two waitresses
dressed in white, with caps and aprons
of two colors, opened the doors, and
the anxious crowd pushed in. The first
raid was 011 the candy booth, but the
musicians had their toll of listeners
and the bowling alley was soon over
crowded for shots. The fishpond was
worked overtime and people were
forced to give up finding the secrets
of their futures, for the line of the
"patiently waiting" became so long.
Flashes of white and color were seen
flashing through the throng as the
waitresses brought chicken salad, cake,
pie, coffee, ice cream, chocolate, and
persimmon pudding to the famished
students.
As the evening wore 011 couples found
the parlors useful. There was a con
tinuous sound of music and although
it became faint during the middle of
(Continued on Page Two)
lished, is sole inheritor of the vast es
tate.
The disappointed "Crow Buzzards,"
as Ben terms the rest of the family,
flock thick around Jane, asking her to
back them financially after she becomes
administratrix.
The plot thickens when Jane plays
her financial trumps to keen Ben, whom
she has loved since childhood, out of
prison. After she teaches him to work
and reforms him, she makes the Jor
dan estate over to him. The climax
is reached when Ben awakens to the
fact that Jane is responsible for his
freedom as well as his reformation,
and "all is as you like it ever after."
INTELLIGENCE TESTS
CAUSE FOR COMMENT
Final Outcome of This New Method of
Entertainment Not Actually Deter
mined— Forms Complexes
SEVERE TESTS OF KNOWLEDGE
The false and true tests have at last
found a bitter rival. It is a well known
fact that the more leisurely professors
have been given to the check mark
type of examination, but Professor
Trueblood has done them one better,
rationalized, in fact, and substituted
intelligence tests. Dean Trueblood
himself is probably ignorant of the
fact, but to others it is evident that
this is merely a suppressed form of
laziness. Dean has been approached 011
the subject, but of course he did a
bit of "wish-thinking" and gave reasons
less offensive to his "Censor."
Disregarding the motives of the test
the results are very interesting. A
great many superiority complexes have
been created but none of the old ones
have been broken up. Those who did
poorly would not admit the facts to
themselves but blamed it onto dissipa
tion of the night before or onto a poor
breakfast.
The actual results show Alice Hazard
as the high point winner. (It will be
of interest to the readers to know that
Miss Hazard was a star on last year's
legging team, however, we refuse to
draw any conclusions). The second
place was a tie between Ruth Outland
and Margaret Fawcett. The first three
places for the men were taken by
James Harper, Joe Cude, and Napoleon
Bonaparte Hire.
LITERARY CLUB TALKS
OF AMERICAN REVIEW
Professor Lyndon Williams Leads Dis
cussion on America's Oldest
Monthly Magazine
The Literary Club met at Founders
Hall Thursday evening. Linden Wil
liams, leader for the evening, discussed
the North America 11 Review, which is
the only magazine that survived the
Civil War. The paper began in a close
intellectual group in Boston and was
later moved to New York. The editor
ship passed through various hands.
The articles are semi-popular in type,
for example "A Million Dollars for
Football—and Worth It." A section,
"111 Retrospect," is devoted to a dis
cussion of previously published articles.
Miss Miles was elected club secre
tary for the year.
The members decided to join the
"Book of the Month Club" for a period
of at least six months. Mr. and Mrs.
\\ illiams, who are already members,
offered them the use of their library.

HOYLE IS BUSINESS MGR.
No Definite Plans as Yet—Work May
Be Given to the Queen City
Printing- Company
Stanley Moore was chosen editor of
the 1929 "Quaker" at a recent meeting
of the senior class. The other mem
bers of the staff, elected at this time,
were Mildred Kimrey, managing editor;
Cranford Hoyle, business manager, and
Justice Strickland, photographic man
ager. The action taken by the senior
class is the outgrowth of the persistent
agitation of several organizations, in
cluding the student affairs board, and
a group within the class who felt that
the publication of an annual was neces
sary to help clear the existing debt.
As yet no definite plans have been
laid nor have any contracts been let.
It is expected that the printing will be
done by the Queen City Printing Com
pany, of Charlotte, if satisfactory
financial arrangements can be made
and in all probability Flint's Studio,
in Greensboro, will do the photographic
work.
Editor Moore has not decided on the
theme of the annual but he is planning
to rush work on it as soon as the con
tracts are signed. He is trying to ar
range everything so that it will be pos
sible to take all the group and indi
vidual pictures before the student body
leaves for the Christmas holidays.
Although the annual will be published
by the senior class, the other classes
will be represented on the staff.
DR. BINFORD ATTENDS
SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION
Guilford Collepre Will Present Satisfac
tory Report of Last Three
Years' Progress
HELD FROM DECEMBER 6 TO 7
Nov. 27.—Dr. Raymond Binford is
planning to attend the meeting of the
Southern Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools which is being held
at Fort Worth, Texas, from December
fourth to seventh. The North Carolina
delegates have charactered a special
car on which Dr. Binford will leave on
Saturday evening, December 1. Should
lie not be able to attend, Mr. F. Hill
Turner will take his place in repre
senting Guilford College.
This session is to be featured by the
tri-annual reports of the colleges. In
a sense, the membership of each col
lege in the association is tested every
three years. Those colleges who have
reports deficient in any way, are rep
rimanded and are advised to raise those
points in which they are failing. Guil
ford presents this time a very accepta*
ble report.
The various commissions of the asso
ciation hold their meetings from the
fourth to the sixth. The special prob
lem of these commissions this year has
been the investigation of the grading
systems of colleges and high schools.
The secondary schools are rated by the
records which their graduates make in
the colleges they attend. This fact has
brought out the various methods which
are used in college grading, and has
led to a questionnaire which college
teachers were requested to fill out re
cntly. This session of the association
will further discuss this topic.
