Close Of Meeting
Dean Lindley of High Point College
spoke before a joint meeting of the
Christian Associations in Memorial
Hall Thursday evening, October 14,
1930. He chose as his subject "Marks
of Good Citizenship," and presented
to the student body a number of ex
cellent pointers for good citizenship.
The speaker first emphasized some
things that do not necessarily show
the quality desired. He said that the
glamour and glow of patriotism is not
always real. In fact it is much better
to live for one's country than to die
for it. It is rarely ever the brilliant
showy side of a thing that tends for
the best. A good example of this is
shown in politics, which is not al
ways upheld by the best citizens. On
the other hand Dean Lindley feels
that simplicity is a real mark of good
citizenship. The dignity of the simple
life he feels, is one of the greatest
marks we can detect. A reasonable
amount of intelligence added to the
simple life makes a second good
point. Intelligence must, of course,
be varied from the most simple to an
understanding of politics and religion.
One who leads a simple life, and is
reasonably intelligent, must of ne
cessity show responsibility if he is
to be a good citizen. It will come to
him rather instinctively, however,
since these can hardly be separated.
The fourth essential element of
good citizenship is an association
with a Supreme Being, or a combina
tion of the foregoing elements into
one —a religious life. A person who
leads a simple life, is reasonably in
telligent on everyday matters, and is
able to shoulder responsibility will
very naturally lead a religious life.

N. C. Press Association Will
Have Convention At E.C.T.C.
The North Carolina Collegiate
Press Association is to have its semi
annual meeting at Eastern Carolina
Teachers College during the days Oc
tober 30-31 and November 1.
Since our publications became mem
bers of the state association, official
representatives have been sent to the
two conventions held during the scho
lastic year. This year E. C. T. C. has
issued invitations to two delegates
from each publication. Previous con
ferences have been marked by busi
ness sessions and discussion groups
for assitance in issuing a better pub
lication. But even the serious-minded
collegiate journalists of the state
have a remarkable ability to enjoy
the social opportunities offered dur
ing these conventions.
Guilford Battleground Is
Scene Of
The pleasure and benefits to be de
rived from extensive walking were
emphasized by Alice Conrad, when
she announced that the annual hike
to the Battle Ground would be taken
Saturday, October 10th. Upper class
men anticipated another enjoyable
occasion, while freshmen became
thrilled over the great event. This pil
grimage is one of Guilford's most
popular and cherished customs, as it
has great social and historical import
ance attached to it.
At one-thirty practically every stu
dent, who happened to be on the
campus at that time, gathered in
front of Founder's Hall. The thoughts
of a ten mile hike did not seem to
bother anyone as the entire party was
in high spirits. With Mr. Purdom,
peerless leader of such expeditions,
again at the helm, another army mov
ed in the direction of the famous Old
Court House. The long and weary
march seemed to be shortened consid
erably because of the gaiety of the
crowd.

dents that the Colonial Army had fac-

And As Programs
"MOVIE" PARTY FOLLOWS
After having dinner at the Greens
boro Country Club, Wednesday even
ing, October Bth, the members of the
Guilfordian Board and their guests
saw "Heads Up" at the Carolina
Theatre. The banquet and theatre
party was a very successful replace
ment of the annual Guilfordian Board
picnic.
Each person was surprised at find
ing his place by what appeared to
be a minute copy of the Guilfordian.
The change in title was only the ad
dition of one word, making it "The
Guilfordian Banquet." Following was
a complete program of the evening's
happenings, including the menu.
Four courses comprised the dinner.
The gracious hospitality of the
hostess of the club added much to
the enjoyment of the guests. Many
varieties of flowers, from the flower
show held at the club on the same
day, heightened the quiet beauty of
the house itself.
From the club, the party made a
quick trip to the Carolina Theatre in
Greensboro, where, according to a
section on "The Guilfordian Ban
quet,"- "Helen and Buddy" enter
tained. The guests, however, were
ungracious enough to leave before
the entertainment was quite complet
ed, pleading that they must be home
by 10:00 o'clock. Anyway—so those
who have a good imagination say—
"Heads Up" was a good picture.
"Youngest" Professor Honored
Then too, there's the item of our
youngest faculty member having a
birthday, with cake and everything.
He even had fried chicken and those
incomparable accessories that ones
mother always adds to a surprise
birthday dinner. And there were out
of-town guests, and his whole family
too. If anyone can think of anything
nicer than to be twenty-four on Oc
tober 17, just try to tell it to "Prof."
Reynolds—he can't be convinced!
Ed, this modern one also encountered
a terrible foe. In this particular case
the enemy happened to be hunger,
and with deliberate cruelty it began
to encroach upon the members of the
Quaker Clan. As the ammunition
wagon had gone on ahead the painful
pangs had to be endured. When the
infantry arrived they were eager for
the affray, and after a careful and
hasty examination of the surround
ings they began to fire heavily upon
the enemy with charge after charge
'of hot dogs, apples, and coffee. Since
the (first) Battle of Guilford Court
House, there had never been such pa
triotic zeal revealed as in this mod
ern encounter, in which such appro
priate ammunition was used so pro
fusely. With every one gladly doing
his part, the enemy was quickly rout
ed and the patriots gathered around
the camp fire to hear the praises ex
tolled of the soldiers who took part
in the original conquest.
Dr. Perisho gave an interesting
talk on the battle and its significance.

Years And Dreary Rain Gives Picturesque Setting
To Memory-Haunted Site of the Dead
Entirely surrounded by trees
nestles a quaint graveyard near the
Guilford College campus. Leaving the
trodden paths of men and wander
ing aimlessly among the flattened
graves, one is suddenly transported
back to years gone by. For here in
this old-fashioned burial ground lie
the inhabitants of long ago.
An old rusty, barb-wired fence en
closes the small area of row on row
of graves. Wild hedges have covered
the wire, giving an effect of hoary
atmosphere. A solemn stillness holds
sway as it has done for 10, these many
years. Beside the hedge enclosure, an
old wagon track meanders about and
around to the open highway.
In the center of the ground a
mammoth tree spreads friendly limbs
over the cool tombs. Wild weeds and
sparse grass abound in bewildered
state. The graves have been leveled
and only a tottering grey stone marks
the place where only the bones re
main.
Above the sky is overcast, and an

Material For Experimentation
Is Finally Revealed In
True Colors
RESULTS ARE DOUBTFUL
Experimenting for scientific ad
vancement of knowledge has long
been a worthy task for those who
dream idealistic conceptions of every
day life. Much experimenting has
long been an important part of our
educative processes. There has been
technical laboratory procedure which
unfolded a wealth of knowledge. The
paths of Galileo, Copernicus, Fara
day, Newton, Franklin, Pasteur, Koch
and Darwin have been pointed out
with anxious care. The mysteries of
the heavens have been taught. The
wonders of the earth have bene view
ed in solemn awe. The realms of a new
science have been explored by unfor
getable men—Watson, Adler, Kohler,
Freud, and Gestalt—and the great
truths revealed by them have been
passed on to us. And so the world
has gone on in its course —vast ex
periments taking place in infinitely
short, or long times, and giving re
sults of great, or no, import to man
kind.
So, too, has our institution felt the
need of advancement in a scientific
manner. And there was a class that
entered the college, which was ex
perimented on. They were given
strange new courses, a new method of
teaching was applied to this material
of experimentation, and even a new
curriculum was bestowed upon them.
When they entered they were giv

Mr. and Mrs. Noah
Sing During Chapel
"The Barber of Tourine" and
"Mah Sentiments" Win
Student Favor
Mr. and Mrs. Noah entertained the
students during the regular chapel
period on Thursday, October 9, with
a number of vocal selections.
Mrs. Noah, at the piano, accompan
ied Mr. Noah when he sang a group
which gave opportunity for all his
vocal versatility. He first gave
"Friend of Mine," from Sanderson,
and then sang the old English air,
"Oh, Danny Boy." Next came a rol
licking tune of "Young Tom," which
gave full account of all the feminine
fickleness. And as an encore, Mr.
Noah sang "The Barber of Tourine."
Mrs. Noah sang three numbers:
"My Love Has Come To Me," "In
Time of Roses," and concluded the
program with a negro spiritual "Mah
Sentiments." The last one was filled
with the respective marvels of air
planing and the advisability of re
maining on the ground—as seen by
an admiring, but suspicious, member
of the colored race.
insufferable gloom pervades the
graveyard. The approaching shadows
thrust a pall over the white tomb
stones. A buzzard soars in the black
ened heavens, blown here and there
by the changing air currents. Rising
with a flap of his dark wings, he
sails around and around over the
burial ground. Only the silence of the
dead, the buzzard, and the lone way
farer exist in that atmosphere.
What tales the stones could relate
of yesteryear, of the lives of those
now lying in the cold earth. Over
yonder a large granite tombstone
proclaims in stately dignity the bit
of earth where a loved one rests in
eternity.
From the dusky clouds in the sky
drops of rain fall noiselessly through
the air and patter on the yellow-tint
ed autumn leaves. The wild grass
grows soggy and walking in dificult.
Not a sound from the air, from the
dead; from the distance—only the
silence unruffled and the descending

Wanted:—a husband for Maggie.
The Scotch family of Wylies can't
bear to think that Maggie, who is
plenty old enough, is not married.
John Shand wasn't applying as a fu
ture husband, but by the ingenuity of
the Wylies he promises to marry the
daughter after a certain number of
years. During this absence he has
gained a higher position, loves some
one else and wishes to marry her.
What shall he do? Live up to his
promise ? Fulfill his own desire ? Come
to the faculty play "What Every
Woman Knows" by Sir J. M. Barrie
and have all of these questions an
swered for you. Let's see our faculty
in a different role and see them
star.
The play is being given under the
auspices of the Guilford College Wo
man's Club' and the proceeds will be
given for the benefit of the Library.
The exact date is undecided, but the
play will probably be given about the
middle of November.
Additional Features
Improve Library
New Books, Periodicals, And
Heating System Give
Modern Touches
The college library is progressing
toward modernism probably more
steadily than any other part of the
institution. During recent days many
changes have been noted.
The lack of heat in the library has,
for many years, been a source of an
noyance and inconvenience to faculty
and students. The new heating plant
is now completed, and sufficient heat
for the library is now assured.
The new flooring for the second
tier of stacks has arrived, and will
soon be constructed for use. The stack
room will soon receive some new steel
shelves which will be another wel
come addition.
The library boasts also the addition
of several new books. Many of them
deal with Ethics and Psychology and
were written by such well known au
thors as Ogden, Patrick, Hadfield,
Ganett, Murphy, and Buniham.
Mr. D. Ralph Parker and Mr. Jo
seph D. Cox of High Point have con
tributed a group of business maga
zines. These have been placed on the
shelves in the hallway to the stack
room. Included among these maga
zines are: "Factory and Industrial
Management," "The Nation's Busi
ness."
Fraulein Huth has added some
books on the negro, as well as some
copies of the negro newspaper "The
Crisis."

Reverend Tamblyn
Talks on Old Faith
In a New World
Truth of Fact, Ideal, And Life
Are Fundamental Basis
Of All Thought
SCIENCE IS NOT HERESY
Reverend Ronald J. Tamblyn, pas
tor of Grace Methodist Church in
Greensboro, addressed the assembled
students during chapel period last
Tuesday morning on "Old Faiths in a
New World."
Reverend Tamblyn opened his lec
ture by saying that many people be
lieved that one could not accept the
fundamental principles of Christian
ity and the theories of evolution, but
that they must chose one and reject
the other. But how can two such
great truths be in conflict—rather,
one truth should substantiate the
other. The development that has gone
on through the centuries in science
must go on in religion. The attitudes
must widen and broaden from the
basis of a foundation set deep in
truth; and unless this foundation is
a real one, the faith that is ground
ed in it is false. And we need not
fear our faiths, for the truth in re
ligion can never be denied by the
truth in science.
"Too many students have dropped
their former faiths without first mak
ing themselves fast to new ones.
These wander between two worlds,
the one dead, the other powerless to
be born."
Scientific advancement has always
been met with ecclestical suppres
sion, for some felt that the advance
of science meant the retreat of re
ligions, but if both are truths they
must be in harmony.
In life there are three kinds of
truths. The first is the truth of fact,
which includes the fields of the
sciences. This type of truth is never
particularly inspiring and is in con
trast to the second truth, that of
idea. This covers art, poetry, litera
ture, and those things entirely out of
science. This is the truth which im
pels mankind to idealistic activity;

"Legend of Candlelight" Is
Read to Y.W.C.A. Meeting
One week ago last Thursday even
ing Mrs. Milner was the speaker at
the regular Y. W. C. A. meeting.
Her topic was "The Legend of
"Candlelight," and she read to the
group the lovely story of the maiden
in whose memory a shrine—now old
and worn—was erected long, long ago
in a little village in Southern France.
This maiden was the very "light
and life of the village. Beautiful she
was-—fair as the dawnig and glad as
the lark." But one day over the town
a pestilence swept, and passing left
sorrow and death in its wake, and the
maiden robbed of her eye-sight.
For days she wept and her heart
was bitter because of the dark world
in which she must live, henceforth.
Then came the vision, "in the evening
just at candle-lighting time when the
bells of the convent were ringing to
vespers.
To the rapt maiden it seemed that
suddenly into the dark lonliness
wherein she groped came a light—the
light of a candle, "glowing at first

NUMBER 4
DRAMATIC COUNCIL
TO PRESENT FARCE
AS FALLPRODUCTION
"It Won't Be Long Now" By
Milton H. Gropper To Be
Staged Here in Nov.
STRONG CAST SELECTED
Dot Wolff And David Parsons
To Carry Leading Roles—
Both Talented
Members of the Dramatic Council,
after a month of careful analysis of
plays, have chosen the farce "It
Won't Be Long Now" as the fall pro
duction. This light comedy in three
acts, written by Milton Herbert Grop
per, should prove highly enjoyable
to the public in general. The exact
date for the production has not been
definitely settled, however, it will
probably be given about the middle
of November.
The plot centers around the actions
of Robert Preston, a young million
aire, who believes that to be success
ful he must be "hard, cold, tight" and
above all "never mix sentiment with
business." He is in love with Ann
Winston, but she has no use for him,
though Vivian Darrell, who lisps and
has to "ficth" her hair every minute
is only too anxious to be kind to
Robert. Ann and her friend, Doctor
Talley, work out as cheme to soften
Bob's hard outer shell, and manage
to convince him that he has taken a
deadly poison by mistake and has
only twenty-four hours to live. Ann
also tells him that she is going to
marry Doctor Talley. Bob is in de
spair, but plans to do everything pos
sible in twenty-four hours to atone
for the selfish life he has lived. Even
his office boy, Beansy Blake, receives
a share in the fortune which he gives
away to the last penny. From this
point the story moves swiftly for
ward, and finally ends up happily. No
synopsis can give an idea of the
swift action that carries the play
along on the crest of a wave of
laughter and suspense until the final
curtain.
The leading role will be carried by
David Parsons, who is well remem
bered for his splendid acting in "Cap
tain Applejack" and "Skidding." Dor
othy Wolff will play opposite Mr.
Parsons in the role of Ann Winston.
Although a newcomer to the Guilford
stage, Miss Wolff is expected to give
a good interpretation of the attrac
tive heroine.
Other members of the cast are:
Thomas, a butler, Roseland Newlin;
William Meek, office clerk, Linwood
Beaman; Beansy Blake, an office boy,
Edward Blair; Miss Wilkes, stenog
rapher to Preston, Sara Davis; Char
les Dobson, a politician, Bunyan An
drews; Dr. Walter Talley, the phy
sician, Charles Milner; Vivian Dar
rell, a flapper who lisps, Lucile Pat
terson; Rev. Dr. Loring, Henry Turn
er; a policeman, Austin Garner;
Frank Cullen, of the People's Party,
James Harper; Olga, the cook, Rachel
Beasley; Frances, a maid, Aliene
Thompson; two photographers, Ern
est Dixon and William Rogers.
ance." And a voice spoke to her "I
am the light of the world—he that
followeth me shall not walk in dark
ness but shall have the light of life."
Then a great wind came, and flashing
the candle-frame "far abroad" lit a
multitude of tiny candles with its
fire and brilliance. Again the voice
spoke, "Ye are the light of the world;
let your light so shine before men
that they may see your good works
and glorify your father which is in
heaven."
The maiden bowed in awe before
the vision and even as she did so, it
passed from her sight and she was
alone again with night sky above
and the echoes of vesper beels about
her. But the maiden's sorrow was
healed, and ever after that she went
about among the villagers, helping
and comforting the afflicted and do
ing good with a selfless joyful heart.
Finally she was made abbess of
the little village convent which now
lies in ruins. And "so beloved was
she of the people that she came to
be known as the Abbess of the Glow
ing Light."
