Quaker Short 100 Subscriptions VOLUME xv SENIORS HONORED AT RECEPTION GIVEN ON LAST FRIDAY EVENING Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hollowell Entertain at Their Home in Sunset Hills SENIOR QUARTET SINGS Home Is Decorated With Pink Sweet- Peas—Refreshments Carry Out Color Scheme of Green and White The class of 1929 was entertained by the Advisory Committee last Friday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hollowell in Sunset Hills. Upon their arrival at 8 o'clock the guests immediately blossomed out un der the warm spirit of hospitality which was extended to every one, and the evening proved to be one of in tense enjoyment and pleasure. The re ception room, dining room, and sun parlor were effectively decorated with pink sweetpeas, the class flower, and a large bowl of exquisite snap-dragons further accentuated the note of pink in the color scheme. There were a few signs of nervous ness when the girls were soon separated from the boys and asked to assemble in the sun-parlor, but when it was learned that what they thought was the sun-parlor was really the Hollowell branch of the Guilford College Library and that each girl was a certain book which could be called for by numbers, the situation took on a more jovial aspect, and the "readers" crowded around the librarian's desk to give their (Continued on Page Two) EXPRESSION CLASS PERFORMS IN CHAPEL Cast of Five Presents "The Dear De parted"—Another One-Act Play to Be Given in the Near Future The members of Mrs. Noah's expres sion class gave their first public demon stration of their dramatic ability Fri day morning in chapel with the presen tation of "The Dear Departed," a short one-act play. The cast was composed of Marian Wright as Mrs. Slater; Ernest Scarboro, Henry Slater, the hen-pecked husband; Martha Armfield, the young daughter; Katherine Johnson, Mrs. Jordan, Mrs. Slater's sister; and Wilmer Steele, Mr. Merrywether, The Dear Departed. The plot begins with the supposed death of Mr. Merryweather and all the attendant mourning. When Mrs. Jor dan arrives, she and Mrs. Slater appear to be trying to get as much of his prop erty as possible. Mr. Merryweather suddenly appears in the living room in the midst of this disposal of his property. He discovers that his bureau has been moved down from his bed room by Mrs. Slater, and little Victoria has to be shut up by her mother in order not to reveal too much. The old man informs the family that he intends to pay the premium on his insurance policy and make out a new will the fol lowing Monday. In this will he is going to leave his property to the one he is living with when he dies. He then makes the startling announcement that he intends to marry a neighboring widow. Great dismay appears on the faces of the family as they realize that they are not to come into the property after his death. Much dramatic ability, either inate or acquired, appeared in the presentation of this short play. Another is to be given in the near future.

In a recent address to the student body the business manager of the annual pointed out the necessity of having deposits paid at once as only enough annuals would be ordered to supply those who have paid this fee. The response to the appeal was not as universal as the staff desired and if more subscriptions are not gained in the next ten days it appears that a cut in volume will have to be made. . The editorial staff of the year book is working steadily and it appears that the book will be ready to go to press about the middle of March.

They have tried various schemes by which to raise money to pay the remaining $1,900 duo for improvements. Plays under the auspices of the club have been given at various intervals. Mono grainmed stationery has been sold from time to time and another order is to be taken soon. The latest scheme, how ever, is a quilt. This quilt is to con tain 19 squares. In each square you are privileged to write your name and it is to be embroidered on the square.

M. C. and Men's A. A. In connection with the selection of the spring play, Professor Phillip Furnas lias made the following state ment regarding the selection of the cast and new ideas which are to be introduced in the spring production: "In the view of what I suppose to be misunderstanding of some students with regard to the selection of the cast for college plays, I wish in connection with the announcement of the selection for "Sun-up" (which is to be given March 23, and i>ossibly at another date) to make the following statement: "The Dramatic Council attempts to represent the whole college, and the money from plays produced by it is to be divided between two representative organizations of the college, the Y. W. C. A. and the Men's Athletic Associa tion. A small per cent is retained for the use of the Council in producing other plays. This arrangement, which may seem a little odd, at first is the result of an old situation when both the above organizations gave plays to raise money, but agreed to give up the custom with the understanding that they receive certain parts of the money made from plays produced by the whole college. "The Council does not select the cast before the try-outs are held. It at tempts to secure the best actors avail able, at the same time including some (Continued on Page Four) FACULTY PARLOR HAS NEW ANTIQUE Cupboard Donated by Nieces of Joshua and Abigal Hunt Stanley, Former Superintendent and Matron The old cupboard which is located temporarily in the faculty parlor is one of much historical interest. It was for merly the property of Joshua and Abi gail Hunt Stanley. Joshua Stanley was superintendent and Abigal Hunt Stan ley, his wife, was matron here for a long. time. According to authorities, it has been about 60 years since the two were here. Abigal Hunt Stanley wag the daughter of Nathan Hunt, the emi nent Quaker. This adds much historical interest to the cupboard. It is thought that the cupboard was probably here before it was presented to the college by the nieces of these people. Those presenting it were: Ab bey Stanley Hodgin, Emma Stanley Neeley, and Callie Stanley Cude. It is probably one of the two things that have been at Guilford since its found ing. - ] The advisory eommittee has recently refinished this old piece. At present it is a very beautiful old piece of furni ture. It is to be marked with the nam6sl of the donors with possibly a few other additions. Guilford appreciates greatly such things of historical value which help to link us with the founders of the college. Such gifts serve as a memory to those who have given years of their life in devoted service to the cause of Guilford College. NUMBER 11
