WE NEED PEP That was the louziest excuse for a pep meeting on Monday morning that it has ever been Frankie's privilege of leading. He knew it was rotten, but since half of the football fellows were on the sidelines of the crowd, he didn't have the heart to say how bad it really was. With the first home game, the first conference game, and the first game after our first victory, facing us on Saturday afternoon it seems sort of like we could stop yawning for ten minutes, wake up a bit, and cheer! The favorite yells have been pub lished in The Guilfordian; they are in the Freshman handbook, and Frankie is a willing instructor. Since we have always felt a sense of pride about the way we backed our team, and we can't go back on them next Saturday! The fellows have put up some beautiful fighting, and have outplay ed teams which outweighed them. But they're needing your encouragement to finish those final few yards that are gained in heartbroken battling— but are the ones that give the score. The whole student body should see that first home game—and you've got good lungs, so tell the team you're with them. f, 326—Phones—327 Stratford-Weatherly Drug COMPANY Jefferson Standard Bldg.

THE GUILFORDIAN BOOKS WE LIKE Review by SAMRA SMITH The other night we awoke shout ing, "Drop it, drop it." That could mean only one thing, Sherlock Holmes. "The Complete Sherlock Holmes" is here and will be on the shelves as soon as Prof. Shepard and I finish both volumes. Holmes, the infallible detective with the machine-made intellect, is one of the most widely known and best loved characters of fiction. The lean countenance and figure, the keen eye, the square jaw and the thin lips, the long fingers of the fine hands, but above all the pipe and shag to bacco are familiar wherever detec tive stories are read. The invention alone o fthese details and their reit eration till the reader knows them by heart prove Doyle a skillful writer, and Holmes' personal character is not less interesting than his appearance. One loves to visualize Holmes be wailing the dearth of imaginative crime, scraping on his violin, shoot ing initials in the wall, meditating a crime all night over an ounce of shag tobacco, with his hands locked around l his drawn-up knees and a fixed frown on his face. It is delightful to know that one so scrupulous in his meth ods of thought could be so slovenly in keeping his room. Watson inimit ably observes that he "keeps his ci gars in the coal-scuttle, his tobacco in the toe-end of a Persian slipper, and his unanswered correspondence transfixed by a jack-knife into the very center of his wooden mantle piece." To those who ask us if we ever met a person like Holmes we re ply, with a great critic who was ask ed the same question concerning Mic awber, "No, but we should very much like to." One would like to ramble forever among the "minor details of Holm siana," there is much of it and it is all interesting. In these two vol umes are nine novels and fifty-six short stories, "two thousand pages of the best detective fiction in Eng lish literature." The introduction is by Christopher Morley, of whom much more when the Librarians of Congress wake up and send cards for his new book. .

It is my opinion that an organized cheering section would be a great help to the players, who have as up-to-date played in a hostile at mosphere. Many members of the team are experiencing their first season under the Crimson and Grey. It is our duty to show them what the real G. C. Spirit is. The band that performed at the Barn Dance would form a good nu cleus for a cheering section. Why not require the freshmen to help? These are a few ideas, perhaps you have others that would be a boost in forming a pep squad. —John Hugh Williams. To Our Patrons: During the past two years the Guilfordian has been laboring under a heavy financial burden. This year the board and faculty did not see how the Guilfordian could continue under such conditions, so there had to be a change. Several ideas were touched upon, that we might alleviate the present condition of our school paper. The business staff has worked steadily since the first of August trying to secure advertisements. A careful can vas has been made of the nearby towns, and practically all the possi bilities have been exhausted, with the exception of the tobacco concerns. They are willing, but the good old traditions are against us at this corner. Then there was the student fee. The budget submitted by the previ ous staff was not nearly sufficient to cover cost of publication. In the stu dent fee there was a surplus, several thought a petition would aid in soft ening the heart of the administrator, thereby allowing the board to draw upon the surplus to aid the Guilford ian in its dire need. This met stone wall opposition; however, the big chief did offer us a good suggestion. "It" is the result which we now have a reduction of the paper. Sev eral things were taken into consider ation before this was accepted. The fact that we were short in advertis ing space made it possible to cut the paper without destroying the pres ent columns which our paper has October 21, 1931 - WHAT DO - 7 YOU THINK ♦ In the next issue the topic for dis cussion is to be: "The Reduced Size of the Guilfordian." | Express yourself on the subject— ! What do you think about it ? been running. The cost of printing will be lessened considerably; this is another big point. The last and greatest point in it all is, that after all our scheming and planning, Guil ford College can still boast of a col lege paper as a representative in a crisis. The depression is over! We hope! 808 JAMIESON, Assistant Business Mgr. of The Guilfordian. MRS. PERISHO'S CLASS HAS FIRST S. S. PICNIC On Friday evening, October 16, at 8:00 o'clock, about fifteen members of Mrs. Perisho's class met at her home for their regular monthly class meet ing. Mamie Rose McGinnis, the presi dent of the class, gave a short pray er which was followed by a reading by Thelma Thorne. After this, with Elizabeth Taylor and Johnnie White on the affirmative and Orpha New lin and Louise Ward upholding the negative a very interesting debate issued from the subject "Resolve, That One Should Give to the College Church Instead of the Church at Home." Each debator delivered his points so firmly that the decision was a tie and we still do not know which place to give or to send our money. Mrs. Perisho introduced the new and interesting experiment of having each of the girls write a letter and leave it in her care saying what they hope to have accomplished at the end of a certain length of time. After this time has elapsed, they will re turn and read the letters again. Several names were suggested for the class, but it was decided to leave the final selection until the next meeting which will be held in Emla and Eunice Wray's room in Found ers. After the business was completed, Mrs. Perisho served orange juice to the thirsty debaters and their en thusiastic audience.
