THE NATIVITY PAGEANT
PRESENTED MEM. HALL
ON TUESDAY EVENING
Annual Affair Sponsored By
The "Y" Organizations
At Guilford
CHOIR SINGS CAROLS
The Nativity was given at eight
o'clock on Tuesday night, December
the fifteenth. Dorothy Wolff played
the part of Mary, and Matthew Brid
get' of Joseph. Ivan Thompson, Carl
Jones, David Parsons, Curtis Swaim,
and Harry Wellons were shepards.
Frances Carter, Julia Plummer, Rose
Askew, Martha Lane, and Glynn
Bane was the band of angels. Wil
bert Braxton, Harold White, and Lin
wood Beamon were the three wise
kings of the Orient. William Hire
and Allen White were readers. The
characters were dressed with cos
tumes resembling those of the Bib
lical days. The costumes, the light
ing of the stage, the choir, the sing
ing of Christmas carols, showed the
Nativity's full purpose. There were
three tableaux: the enunciation of
Jesus; Mary, Joseph, and the batSe
in the manger; and the visit of the
three wise men. The Nativity is an
annual event at Christmas time. It,
like the Messiah, has become a tra
ditional Christmas custom at Guil
ford.
Dramatic Council
Plans New System
Periods Of Apprenticeship And
Eligibility Precede Real
Membership
MEMBERS TO HAVE KEYS
The Dramatic Council is proposing
a plan which should raise the stand
ard of council membership to. a sup
er-extra-curricula activity, rather
than "just belonging" and having to
set up scenery and dash around for
knick-knacks.
The plan is one which has merit as
the sole standard of membership, and
one must pass through a period of
apprenticeship, then eligibility for
election, before the final election to
Council takes place. This policy
would warrant some definite recogni
tion of achievement when the indi
vidual has been received in the holy
circle, so keys would be awarded to
the members of the council.
Participation in producing plays
here is an art which requires steady
work, consistent planning, and try
ing to do big things with limited re
sources, so this new idea, if develop
ed, will not only increase enthusiasm
within the Council, but will show an
improvement in the value of the
plays also.

SHEPARI) TOASTM ASTER
The Football Banquet given Satur
day night, December 5, was the most
brilliant social event of the year. The
arrangement of the dining room car
ried out the football theme.
Under the direction of toastmaster
Shepard or referee (as he preferred
to be called), the program was car
ried out amid roars of laughter and
despite the continual round of wit
between the Coach and Referee Shep
ard, no blows were struck and the
evening passed on peacefully. First,
the three men who are finishing this
year were called on to say a few
words.
Professor Newlin, a former Guil

beautiful solos and such well-known
choruses as "And The Glory Of The
Lord," "Glory To God," and "O Thou
That Tellest Good Tidings To Zion."
This year a new chorus, "Worthy Is
The Lamb," was added to the ones
that are usually sung.
This all powerful oratorio of Han
del's, written in such a short time,
has been presented at Guilford Col
lege for five years, and it is the hope
of everyone that this presentation
will bcome a traditional thing.
With the audience standing, "The
Messiah" ended with the beautiful
Hallelujah Chorus. This idea of stand
ing during this last chorus is a cus
tom that has been handed down
[ through the years.

NEW BOOK REVIEWED
"Strike Injunctions In The
New South" By Head Of
Economics Dept
REVIEWED BY MOSLEY
"Strike Injunctions In the New
South," written by Dr. Duane Mc-!
Cracken, head of the Economics De
partment, is now available for the
public, and a review of the book ap
peared in The Greensboro Daily
News on December 6. Mr. Robert
Moseley, who presented the review,
lauded the work to a high degree and
the following excerpts from his ar
ticle show his regard for the book.
"The author's examination of the
questions involved is detailed and im
partial. The six specific suggestions
h : ch he makes with respect to the
use of the injunction in labor con
troversies have, in one form or an
other, already received the indorse
ment of many leading members of
the judiciary and of the bar."
"Both to the citizen of the state in
terested in the economic and social
aspects of the problem and to the
North Carolina lawyer interested al
so in the purely legal aspect. Dr.
McCracken's work is invaluable. It
does not attempt to deal with the
matter in the same way that Frank
furter and Greene's "The Labor In
junction" does, but supplements that
work and presents the matter as a
North Carolinian problem, with a
North Carolina background, to be
solved wisely, in the spirit of the
court that wrote the opinion in the
Van Pelt case."

The International Relations Club
met on Friday, December the fourth,

Peace. Miss Ricks offered some sug
gestions as to how the club could be
made interesting. The second meet
ing was concerned with a debate and
a reneral discussion of the Manchur
ian problem. Edward Blair and Har
r.'s Moore informally debated the
que t on. After the debating there
was a general discussion of the ques
tion. W. J. Fong, native of China,
Mr. A. I. Newlin, and Plin Mears
were the leaders in this discussion.

"THE BETROTHAL" BY
MAETERLINCK CHOSEN
FOR SENIOR CLASS PLAY
To Be Presented As Spring
Play February 20, Then
At Commencement
PROF. FURNAS, DIRECTOR
The Senior class is going to co
operate with the Dramatic Council in
staging the Spring play, February
20. The play will be repeated in May
as the Senior Class play.
The play that has been chosen is
"The Betrathel" by Maurice Maet
erlinck, a Belgian writer who writes
in French. The play is a sequel to
the well known play "The Blue Bird."
"The Betrothel" is a fantasy cen
tered around search of a young boy
for the girl who is to become his
wife. First he goes to the land of his
Ancestors, but his search there is
futile. He then goes to the Land of
the Unborn Children. He is guided by
a fairy, and directed by Light. The
search ends in the choice of a Veiled
Figure by one of the tiny boy chil
dren in this land. The fantastic beau
ty marks the plot throughout the
play.
The cast requires about twenty
characters, including young girls,
middle age people, and older people.
Piano-Voice Pupils
Appear In Recital
Massey Tonge Showed Much
Talent In Playing
"March Grotesque"
The piano and voice pupils of Max
Noah and Miss Gail Wilbur gave a
recital December 10, 1931, in Memor
ial Hall. The program was very well
arranged with music of changing
mcods and tempos composed by both
American and Foreign composers.
Miss Mary Margaret Binford in ren
dering "Sonatina" and Miss Ora Mat
lock in rendering "Joy of Youth"
showed great talent for such youthful
pianists. The playing of "March
Grotesque" by Massey Tcnge was
enthusiastically applauded by the au
dience. The most outstanding selec
t-in of the evening was the interpre
tative playing of "Concert In D Min
or" by Miss Josephine Kimrey with
Mr. Noah at the second piano. Sev
eral vocal selections were given by
Edith Trivette, who sang "Life"
by Spross, and "Ho! Mr. Piper" by
Cui-raii; and Jewell Conrad who sang
"Boat Song" by Ware, and "Yester
day and Today" by Spross.
Those who took part in the musical
recital were Misses Mary Margaret
Binford, Ora Cornelia Matlock, Nell
Ellington, Edith Trivette, Flora Bum
garner, Jewell Conrad, Marguerite
Slate, Josephine Kimrey, and Messrs.
Marvin Lindley, Jesse Bowen, and
! Massey Tonge.
also showed the heroic sacrifice of
some of the boys, for it included
I socks and neckties, which must have
| given the owner a heartache to dis
i card. Playing a fortune teller's role,
| Miss Gilbert told the future of many
people whose curiosity would not al
j low them to pass by the chance of
knowing their future mates, troubles,
and travels. Refreshments, which
I were served at tiny tables proved the
: best scheme of money-making. The
| most attractive part of the menu was
the price of the delicacies, which ev
en one poverty stricken could afford.
Near the hotel was a candy shop,
I which sold chocolate fudge to the
1 starving pedestrians.
