A dvertisers our Patronize VOLUME XVI ANNUAL SCHOOL OF MISSION IN SIX WEEKS SESSION Students Enjoy Lecture on Prohibition by Judge Hayes of Greensboro. LENA FARLOW PRESIDES Mrs. Binford, Miss Haviland, Mr. Hale, Catherine Cox and Others Lead Mission Classes. Guilford's Annual School of Missions is now in session. It is held in the church for six consecutive Sunday nights; both college and community folks attend. The first meeting this year was held on February 0 at 6:45. Lena Farlow presides this year, and Esther Hollowell is secretary; Edith Trivett has charge of the music. The period from (5:45 to 7:00 is occupied with devotions. From 7 :00 to 7:45 the classes are held, and the period from 7:45 to 9:00 is in charge of a speaker. There are seven classes. Each is es pecially fortunate in having well-pre pared and interesting leaders. "Sunday School Methods" is under Mrs. Bin ford. She has very successfully led this class for several years. Mr. Hole has had experience as a missionary in Africa, and Miss Haviland as a mission ary in Palestine; therefore, they can add a personal touch to their classes on these respective subjects. Catherine Cox, president of Y. W. C. A., has charge of the class in "Comparative Religions and Denominations" repre senting the various churches. This class has outside speakers each time. Mr. Robert Frazier, a lawyer of Greensboro, has the class on "Inter national Religions." Mrs. Peele has the "Junior Christian Endeavor" class. Mariam Stout and Lucy Finch lead the class on "Primary Christian Endeavor." Mr. Tom Sykes, of High Point, was the speaker for February P. He spoke on "Character Building." On February 16 Mary Erwin, national secretary of the W. C. T. U., spoke on "Temper ance." February 23 Judge Hayes, of Greensboro, spoke on the question of prohibition. He pointed out that the money spent in 1884 was far and above that collected as taxes for the use of all courts of justice in the entire United States. Under the present-day situa tion the amount spent for liquor is very much less. Judge Hayes showed that the enforcement of the 18th amend ment has reduced the number of drunks and law-breakers in our country. Future speakers will be Louis Mc- Farland, secretary of the Friends Home Mission Board, and Dr. Elbert Russel, dean of the School of Religion at Duke University. There has been excellent attendance from both the student body and the community. And muah interest has been manifested in class work and at the lectures. "Penny Press"'"Guilford College Now Boasts Daily Newspaper The "Penny Press" tells the past present, and future, with illustrations; not of one person, but of three hundred persons at once. Each morning in exactly five minutes time, everybody knows everything—that is. everything of any importance. And here's bow. On February 1, 1030, there was born an idea; on February 3, 1030, this idea made its debut before the students and faculty of Guilford College in the form of the "Penny Press," the college's first and only daily newspaper. It was re- 2y THE St) GUILFORDIAN SENIOR PRESIDENT Heinbert Patrick probably holds more offices than any other person 011 the Guilford campus. His interests range from the football team to the annual with many stops in between. In the meantime. Patrick manages to find time to collect five A's in one semester. RAYMOND A. WALLS IN PIANO RECITAL Selections from Bach, Chopin and Other Well Known Classic Musicians. IS HEAD OF MUSIC DEPT. The last of'a series of entertainments under the leadership of Mr. Noah was given Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock in Memorial Hall by Raymond A. Walls. These entertainments have been given in order to increase the appreciation of the musical program which will be given here Tuesday night. Mr. Walls, who is at the head of the Musical de partment of the Agricultural and Tech nical College at Greensboro, attended school at the University of Chicago. He is known all over the state for his musical talent and excellent ability to play the piano. Following is the program which he gave: "Toccato in D Minor," Bach-Tousig. "Romance," Sibelius. "Perpetual Motion," Leber. "Prelude in C sharp minor," Racli runinoff. (An acount of the burning of Moscow). "Polonaise," Chopin. (A war selec tion). "Fantasie" (Alice), Archer. "Barcarolle," Dett.

FURNESS IS CONVALESCING Students Eagerly Anticipate the Return of Beloved English Instructor. MRS. FURNESS IN CHARGE Not since the days of Job has an invalid received so much attention or aroused so much comment as has Mr. Fnrness in the course of the last three or four weeks. All the students at Guilford pray nightly for his speedy re covery and prompt return to his duties here. Everyone devoutly wishes him renewed health, and yearns with un speakable yearning, that his sojourn in the laud of the convalescent may be cut as short as is safely possible. In truth, the whole affair has so deeply moved and touched the hearts of 'eds' and co-eds, alike —especially those of a certain group—that often during English classes, the very thought of their absent and now-beloved professor and the good old days of "Auld Lang Syne" in general, bring worried frowns to the brows of the "eds" and bitter tears to the eyes of the co-eds. What is more, it is stated as a fact that, under existing circumstances, the study of punctuation and spelling, the writing of themes and business letters, and (hard though it be to believe) even the giving of book reports have lost all their former irresistible charm for these poor, pining students who grow steadily paler, as day succeeds day, and the tlood of grief and sorrow in their hearts does not abate, but rather gains in depth. Nay, verily, some of the sufferers have even gone so far as to take oatli that they would rather die in total ignorance of the very fundamen tals of gram mar and literature, than prove traitorous to the memory of their revered instructor by advancing in knowledge under any leadership other than liis own. INTER-COLLEGIATE DEBATES APPROACH Guilford Affirmative: Blair, Harper, Garner; Negative: Beach, Murphy, Farlow. SUBJECT DISARMAMENT The (Juilford College debating teams are under the direction of Dean True blood again this year. The teams have been chosen and they are: (1) affirma tive, Edward Rlair, James Harper and Simpson (Jarner. (2) negative. Been Beach, I'ete Murphy and Ralto Farlow. The topic for discussion is. "Ilesolve, That Nations of the World Shall Dis arm Totally Except for Police Pur poses." This is a very fitting subject since the Naval Parley is being held in London and the entire world is so closely connected with it. The tirst debate is a triangular one between (Juilford. High Point and I.e noir-Bhyne on March 7. The High Point negative team will debate our affirmative here. Our negative team will go to Lenoir-Rliyne. Out of each three-man team, two will debate and the third will be held as an alternate. At present the upperclassinen seem to be having the advantage hut the others are doing excellent work. Miss Ricks has reserved a corner iu the library for the debating teams. A table with special literature is kept there. The card system is being used again this year. N. Y. Musical Art Concert to be Held Tuesday Eve. S. O. Lindeman Speaks in Chapel Speaking at chapel exercises last Friday morning, Mr. S. O. Lindeman, well known Greensboro man, pre sented a very forceful argument in favor of local-owned stores. He found three major objections to the chain store system. He stated that the chain stores do not buy local pro duce and therefore deprived local farmers of a market for their pro duce. The argument which made the strongest appeal to students was the tendency of chain stores to take away opportunities for an indepen dent business career. The young man today who plans to enter mer chandising must look forward to a routine job under the orders of a corporation instead of a business in which he will have the opportunity to develop initiative. He closed with a word of warning that if de velopments now under way continue it will be only a few years until com plete control over the necessities of life will be in the hands of a few men. WORK ON'QUAKER' LOOKS PROMISING Student Body Loyally Support the Staff—Photographer Kept Busy on Campus. OLD SOUTH GOES 100% As an answer to the challenge "There will lie no annual this year" the Quaker staff has started some real material for an annual. The book lias been planned and a good "Quaker" is promised. It will not be made .up like the last annual. It is on the section plan, full of new scenes, new ideas and new jokes. The- annual staff hopes to have something interest ing for every one. The campus pic tures are to be taken from unusual angles to make the book more beauti ful. The student body so far has assumed a benevolent amount of responsibility. There have already been 25 more in dividual student pictures taken for the annual than were in the last annual. Old South Section should wear the blue ribbon for loyalty to the "Quaker." Every person in this section has had his picture made for the an nual and has paid the two dollars de posit fee for an annual. It is the usual (pinion that women had rather have their pictures appear in proper places than men. This is not so this time however. "The Quaker" must needs be quiet on many of its plans. Every one en joys something they don't know all about before it is finished. It is hoped that feature and joke sec tions are to be extremely entertaining and unusual. We are warning all per sons—it' you see a cameraman chas ing after you, don't think you just had an accident, but rather that you are ;i real candidate for the joke sec tion. For we sure look and act funny sometimes. The theme of the book is something new under the sun at Guilford. This, too, will l)o much more appreciated after it lias been more thoroughly sea soned with the pen of the staff.

LEADING LYCEUM NUMBER Quartet Has Won Fame in New York and Received Cordial Reception in Musical Societies. Local music lovers have the privileges of hearing an organization of nationally acclaimed fame when on Tuesday eve ning the Musical Art Quartet appears at Memorial Hall. This quartet, com posed of four distinguished musicians, has thrilled large audiences throughout the nation, and celebrated musical so cieties have paid homage to their ex ceptional ability and training. Perhaps no ensemble organization ever had so auspicious a debut as did the Musical Art Quartet, when it made its first public appearance in New York. The criticisms acclaimed the splendid balance and cohesion of parts, the tonal euphony, the exceptional in dividual qualities of the players, in terest was given to the fact that the public gave its support to an organiza tion facing such difficulties at the very beginning of its career. Considering the personnel of the quartet, success was inevitable. Sascha Jacobsen, the first violin, has estab lished his reputation as one of the leaders of the younger generation of American fiddlers, llis enviable repu tation is based on solid achievement. A serious artist, a fine technician, a real musician, a convincing interpreter, Mr. Jacobsen has gained a goal in violinistic genius. Critics praise "the loft reposefulness of his style, the com prehensive grasp of the contents of the music, the serenity of his song which soared as on angel's wings." Marie Roemaet-R'osanolf, 'cellist, takes a conspicuous place in the musi cal world. From childhood she was trained in the appreciation of music, and has won high honors in her chosen field. She is intensely musical, her tone is soft and mellow, and there is a (Continued on Page Two) GUILFORDIAN SALVAGED FROM QUICKSANDS Plans Are Under Way to Put the Paper 011 Firm Financial Footing and Continue Its Publication. The campus is seething with the ex citement of the rebirth of the Guil fordian. Board members carry a broad smile of anticipated joys in this new and more enthusiastic life. There are meetings of every sort—publications hold their journalistic sway and the students sit back and wonder when it. will lie time to pay. There are current ideas of a banquet, strenuous cam paigns—and, strange to say, we sort of like it. There is the thrill of the pur suit in the present conditions, and it seems there is going to be lots of pursuing before everything settles back to a state of normalcy. There are discussions of the much desired publication fee, of literary is sues of the Guilfordian, and a. newly advanced idea that has to do with the appearance of three magazines annu ally—these are to (should they ma terialize) show the college from a sci entific, literary, and pictorial stand point.
