TO THE SENIORS Another year is gone and we give one more graduating class farewell. The sadness of ending is lessened by the thought that it has been a good year. Achievements, of which we are proud, have filled the year, but the outlook for the future is even more brilliant. Untried things offer so much opportunity for our best ef forts and the future is unspoiled by our blunders of today. But the past has shown what is possible. Through the cooperation of the alumni, trustees, faculty, students, and friends of the college, we have made extensive campus improve ments, established a system of honor in the student life, enlarged the cam pus activities, and set out on a pro gram for the college which almost rivals our highest ambitions. But the end one seeks must be gained through cooperation of the individual feel ing of loyalty and a group spirit. If we aim together our strength is surer, and if we are loyal together, we grow. So as we say au revoir to our seniors, we borrow, from Kipling, that quotation which impresses us with the need for unity: "This is the Law of the Jungles— as old and as true as the sky— And the wolf that shall keep it shall prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die; As the creeper that girdles the tree trunk, the Law runneth forward and back— For the strength of the Pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the Pack." ANI) TO THE ALUMNI This is just an additional word to the alumni and old students who are helping to make this commencement a real home-coming. It is great to have you back, and there is really no need to say that the whole campus is yours—it has been all the time, but we like your coming back and shar ing it wtih us. The campus has been saturated with the nicest home-like feeling all weekend and one feels that you have made it so. There is something in the atmosphere that makes you know that everyone is happy now. End ings are usually sad, but when a year can be ended in such a jolly way we look forward to next year, and later years when we too will be coming home.

THE GUILFORDIAN Dr. Perisho's Ex Part of Guilford's Past By James Harper Another of the episodes which made the position one of continued interest happened in connection with a situation which was disturbing the people of the college community. A cobbler who had moved his shop into the vicinity from Greensboro insisted upon placing his shack too near the road. There was quite a bit of talk on the subject but nothing was ever done to make him move it. One morning, upon going over to break fact, governor found the little house of the cobbler resting on the lawn in front of Founder's Hall. After the morning meal was over quite a group gathered about and be gan to talk over the incident. The young governor was not sure just what course to pursue. Finally, he walked into the group where the larg est of the young men were and said, "I did not like the place where the shop was. But I did like it much bet ter than I do this. I think we had just better take it back." So saying he walked over to the side of it and took a hold. For a moment not a person moved to help him. "That, to me," says Dr. Perisho, "was the long est moment of my life. The tension broke and all the young men took places and we moved the shop back to its place. The owner was so glad to see it back that he agreed to move it back where the people had wished him to locate it." Perhaps the best incident of all was also the product of an early morning meal. "One morning," said Dr. Perisho, "we had hash for break fast. All of us were fond of hash for Aunt Ann, who was the cook at that time, knew how to make it. Now, it was customary for the person at the head of the table to serve the plates at the beginning of the meal. Then, when this was gone, the dish was passed and the others allowed to wait upon themselves. Everything went along as usual this morning until a few moments after the hash dish had been passed. Then three of the boys got up from the table and left the room. "Now, it was customary for all to remain until everyone had finished his meal. I found the three young men and they seemed to be very much upset; they were apparently sick on their stomachs. 'Why,' I said, 'what is thy trouble?' One of them told me that they had discovered a mouse in the hash. 'Was it in thy plate,' I Zatasians and Friday night, May 15, was a gala night for Zatasian hostesses and their guests, the Websterians. The reception started out with a rather novel program given in Memorial auditorium. Here a play was staged, representing a modern version of the old favorite, "Romeo and Juliet." In the first scene, the gay and heartfree young hero (impersonat ed by Rose Askew) becomes hopeless ly enamoured of the adorable heroine (Played by Lucy Edwards) whose parents, Mr. and Mrs. Capulet, are giving a dance in honor of their daughter's social debut. The second scene —the famous bal cony episode—was beautifully staged and charmingly executed, the fade out being an incident of universal ap peal. In scene three, a very modern ad dition was made to the well-known story. Mrs. Capulet—infuriated, doubtless over the disturbance of her sleep by the conversational fluency of the lovers plotting in the garden be low the balcony—appears upon the said balcony and glowers down upon Fulk and Slate In Recital with Quartet On Saturday evening, May 23, Georgia Fulk and Marguerite Slate, pianists, gave a recital assisted by the Guilford College Double Quartet. Miss Slate played Greig's Sonata in E Minor, and Miss Fulk played Beethoven's Sonata, Opus 27. No. 1. Both selections were well presented and showed the excellnt training that each had. The Double Quartet quite capti vated the audience with its presenta tion of five sparkling 17th century songs. They were: "On the Plains," Weelkea; "Come, Gentle Swains," Cavendish; "With Jockey to the Fair," arrangement by Bullock; "All Creatures Now Are Merry Minded," Benet; "Corydon, Arise," Stanford. The last selection was especially good. asked them. 'No, sir, it was in the boy's plate who was sitting next to me. The others saw him, too.' I went back into the kitchen to see Aunt Ann. She was greatly distress ed. She declared that itw sa impos sible for a mouse to have gotten into the hash and she even showed me just what she had done in preparing it. I went out to find the boy who had discovered the mouse. "How did thee discover the mouse in thy hash?' I asked him. 'Why, after I took my second helping and began to eat I looked down and saw his tail sticking out. Then I uncov ered him and there it was," he replied. "Then thee showed it to the other boys, did thee not?" "Yes, sir, the others saw it!" "I wonder," I asked him, "if thee could show me where thee threw the mouse." He told me and I dismissed him. When he was gone 1 looked where he told me and, sure enough, there was the mouse. I picked it up in my hand and looked closely at it. I discovered that it was moist on but one side. I called the young man into my office once more. "Is this the mouse that thee found in thy hash?" I asked him. I told him where I had found it and he told me that it was. "Then," I said to him, "maybe thee can explain why it is damp on but one side. I think that thee has something that thee wants to tell me." He told me the whole truth. "Before I came over to breakfast this morning," he said, "I saw a mouse run behind my trunk. I shoved the trunk against the wall and found that I had killed the mouse. I put it in my pocket and went to breakfast. I ate my first helping of hash but when they passed the dish I decided then was a time to use the mouse. I slipped it on my plate and covered it over. I waited until the others had begun the eat and uncov ered his tail. Then I punched the boy who was sitting next to me. He look ed down and saw it then I uncovered its whole body. He got sick. The boy on the other side looked and saw the mouse too and we left the dining hall." Dr. Perisho's comment upon this event is that on that morning sev eral young men who were later to be come very prominent citizens of their state lost every bit of their break fast as a result of this boyish prank. (The End) ent "Ro " for the them in a manner fearful to behold. She disappears, but returns very shortly, armed with a deadly-looking pistol. A shot splits the night and Romeo falls dead. Juliet lets out a fairly convincing shriek, but immediately afterwards nonchalantly proceeds to powder her dainty nose (perhaps she prefers compacts to Murads) and lifting her length modern skirt a few inches to avoid damaging it en route, trips from the stage. Hours later, the street-sweeper dis covers Romeo's corpse, but being used to making such discoveries on his morning rounds, he evinces no sur prise, and endeavors in his faithful way to do his duty by the public. But Romeo simply won't fit into the dust pan, so the curtain is rung down. Following the program, all those present went across to Men's Center where cake, nuts and punch were served while the partakers played at "Hearts" and "Rooks." All in all, things went off very well, and Zays and Webs appeared to enjoy each other's society. STUDENT GOVERNMENT HAVE PICNIC BREAKFAST Another charming social event on Guilford Calendar was the picnic breakfast of the Student Government Associations, Sunday Morning, May 24. The new councils, men and wom en, were entertaining the retiring councils. Before the campus was awake these gay picnicers slipped quietly out and went gaily towards the col lege pond. Inspired by the fresh morning breezes, and urged by a healthy appetite, after the walk the group paid excellent tribute to the dainty breakfast. Luscious straw berries, with thick cream, bacon, rolls and coffee. The chaperones were: Mrs. An drews, Dean and Mrs. Milner. QuAKER-Quim Things we never knew until the Annual was published: That Cox Hall was such a good looking place after all. That Kit's middle name is Colum bus. That we've harbored a box of dyna mite here for four years. That this is a University of Broth erly Love and Sisterly affection. That we should have been calling Grace Ransdell "Billie!" That the profs don't understand Brack. That Jersey turned out an "ideal." That there is a girl on the campus who can keep a secret. That "Sonnie" is a little boy. You rascal, you! That Marshall Hobart Barney's first name means—Flower of the Army, his middle name, Keeper of the Horses, and his last name, Gift of Gab. Well, well! That the Quaker is free from debt. That Laura weighs 276 pounds. That the Phils are the largest so ciety on the Hill. That those dances given on May Day carried out the idea of the Awakening of Spring—Tra, la la! That the Quips Editor is part of a nucleus, by golly! That Curtiss' last name is spelled with an M and not an N. That Charlie Milner is such a cute little devil. That those volley ball games in which they make us indulge on Thanksgiving are simply a means of diversion for the females. That photographers are magicians. Since this is the last edition of ye Guilfordian this year, we, the Editor and Stalf (and a fine young man he is) wish you all a very merry sum mer with lots of luck failing to find jobs. NINETY-FOURTH ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT PROG. FROM MAY 29 TO JUNE 1 (Continued Prom Page 1) as others see us," and to acquaint former students with a modern Guil ford. The commencement exercises be gan at 10 a. m. Monday with the conferring degrees. The baccalaure ate address was given by Mrs. Lucy Jenkins Frankfin, Dean of Women, Boston University. This is the first time a woman has ever delivered the address, but her reputation as a pub lic speaker of unusual ability made the college feel fortunate in securing her. The remainder of the day the campus is to be turned over to the Alumni. The banquet will be held at 1 o'clock, followed by a meeting with J. Wilson Hobbs as speaker. The former students will then have complete sway over their Alma Mater, renewing acquaintances and recalling scenes of their college days. The class of 1911, consisting of many prominent people throughout this and other states, will hold its twentieth anniversity at this time.

There are two schools in the study of bacteriophage. One, led by the French scientist d'Herelle, contends that it is a tiny parasite which con sumes the bacteria. The other, led by Bronfenbrenner, of New York, insists that it is an enzyme produced by the bacteria, and this production is a clear case of suicide. Both schools have their followers, but d'Herelle's work is earlier and his results are much more conclusive than that of onyone else. The practical usei of bacteriophage is a wonderful addition to the science of disease treatment. The phage from a boil may be applied, and they just declare war on the infection— and eat the "boil bacteria" all up! D Herelle has stopped epidemics of the dread dysentery by ladeling out spoonsful of the dystntery phage and giving it, like we Americans do Castcria. An observation of a river in India revealed the fact that some thing was destroying the contami nating elements in the stream, and an investigation indicated that it was a phage. "And wouldn't it be a mod ern miracle," Miss Wolff asked, "if we coud pour a quart or so of bac teriophage in New York Harbor every day and have the water puri fied by these little bacterial-bat tlers?" "Which school is right in its the ory, we do not know, for our ac quaintance is rather limited since they have so successfully hidden themselves by their minute size, but they do—whether enzyme or para site—carry out Swift's poetry, that: "Big fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite them, Little fleas have lesser fleas—and so on ad infinitum." HOW TO FAIL Complain. Be afraid. Exaggerate. Be sarcastic. Be a glutton. Be conceited. Scorn advice. Procrastinate. Be indifferent. Praise no one. Be a pessimist. Repeat rumors. Ridicule others. Break promises. Travel the ruts. Keep late hours. Refuse to learn. Neglect your helath. Evade responsibility. Be a chronic grouch.
