The Glee Clubs and choir, the athletic teams, and the pronosed endow ment have been introducing Guil ford to people who seldom visit our campus. On high school day we are going to have a chance to show our College life and spirit to high school students who visit the cam pus. The real success of the day de pends on the impressions these students get of our College. Whether this impression is favor able or unfavorable depends upon our hospitality and the personal in terest we take in the visitors. Al ready these students have been re ceiving bulletins concerning Guil ford and the splendid opportuni ties it offers. It will be our duty to show these prospective students that such benefits can be derived from attending Guilford. Let's help in showing the visitors the real Guilford spirit ! "Moral Victories" Throughout many years Guilford has been noted for its moral vic tories. Although coming out at the small end of the score, contest, de bate or the like, Guilford's teams and clubs have been commended for their high standards in playing the game. We must admit that such an honor is not to be burlesqued, however, any group gets tired of being 011 the "moral" side all the time. Readers, don't worry any longer, because such a state as has been hitherto described no longer exists at Guilford. You may won der what has happened to change this state of affairs. It is simply this. Guilford won three victories, both morally and materially, on one day. a debate, a track meet, a base hall game. It seems that the whole campus and every organization 011 it has entered into the expansion program. Many reasons have been set forth as to just how a thing like this could have happened. Of those submitted, the t'act that Saturday, April 12 (the day on which all this happened) was the hottest day re corded for the past few years, served as a stimulus for Guilford to rise to the occasion seems to he the most practical. If hot weather has this effect on our teams, then may it continue. We indeed are sorry to give up mr monopoly on "moral victories." Yet it is generally agreed that Guilford has been too selfish in holding this title. We solemnly be queath this honor to the school who feels that it can hold up that phase of victory alone. We of course, will keep it in the background, but from now 011 will continue to bring home victories, lioldng up the past Saturday as our goal and repeating it if possible. POET'S CORNER MONKEY HOME (A serious matter) By riIILIP W. FURNAS On our jutting wedge of foreland, That divides eternity, Sunshine dapples fleck the wood-wilds, Curry rough the curling sea. Here our sea-beast promontory Dips below the cool sea-brine, But his head comes up out further, Haired with oozy ocean vine. Here old knotted jungle muscles Lift thee forest roof of green, Where we nimbly-leaping monkeys Against nothing seem to lean. Nothing seems to hold us up, As we lean to leap away, Or in living links of ape-flesli Pendulum ourselves in play. Many foolish deeds we do here: Gather nuts for treasure trove, Or gaze out at the horizon From some sheltered creek or cove. Though we look, we do not fancy Water in the shape of sea. Bun Ave can, or climb in branches, But no seafarers are we! Now and then there is among us One who boldly dares to swim, But the common fate is drowning If we leave the foreland's rim. What lies out beyond the ocean We have never yet found out, Neither whence our race came hither, Nor just how we came about. But though foolishness is rife here, And we often chose our tails, There are those who forecast glory, When—our monkey business fails. ALUMNI NOTES 191t—Liilie Bulla, 433 Locust Ave., Burlington, N.
