VOLUME XVIII
Council Selects Characters For
Maeterlink's "The Betrothal"
Bill Edgerton and Dot Wolff
Play Leading Roles
BE PRESENTED MARCH 5
Fantastic Spring Play Includes
Thirteen Seniors
In Cast
The Dramatic Council is sponsor
ing as its annual Spring production
"The Betrothal" by Maeterlinck. This
play which will be given in Memor
ial Hall, March 5, is a departure from
the usual type of production. As an
unusual fantasy it will prove to be
quite entertaining.
It is a fantastic story—a young
man is dreaming and a fairy prom
ises to help him select from seven
girls the one that he really loves.
Each of the twelve scenes is pictures
que in itself.
The cast for this play has been se
lected with care. It is as follows:
Tyltyl— the hero Bill Edgerton
Fairy—Eleanor Bangs; Millete—Bera
Brown; Belline—Ava Roberts; Roselle
—Eltna McCanless; Aimette—Mil
dred Burton; Jalline —Martha Lane;
Rosarelle —Rachel Beasley; Jay, the
heroine—Dot Wolfe; Destiny—Sonnie
Williams; Miser Dave Parsons;
Light—Rose Askew; Granny Tyll—
Julia Plummer; Gaffer Tyll—Lewis
Abel; Great Mendicant —Ira Choler
ton; Peasant Linwocd Beaman;
Priser—David Reynolds; Rich an
cestor—John Love; Primatice An
cestor —Sam Bass; Drunken Ancestor
—Howard Milner; Sick Ancestor—
Dave Parsons; Murderer—Bill Sichol;
Mummy Tyll—Blanche Silver; Mytel
—Marguerite" Slate; Daddy Tyll—
Wade Mackie; Neighbor—Pearl Kim
rey.
SENIOR CLASS ELECTS
L. STAFFORD PRESIDENT
First Woman To Hold This
Honor In Class
Of 1932
A. PIERCE IS VICE-PRES.
At the regular meeting of the Sen
ior Class Thursday morning, February
4, class officers were elected.
Lottie Stafford was elected presi
dent succeeding Ira Cholerton. Miss
Stafford is the first lady to have this
honor in the class cf '32. She has
been active and efficient in many ex
tra-curricular activities. At present
she is president of the Young Wo
men's Athletic Association. She is
quite capable of piloting the class to
safe landing on May 30. The Vice-
President is Arrell Pierce, "head
waiter" of Founders Dining Hall.
Marguerite Slate was chosen to
succeed Edith Trivette as Secretary
and Treasurer. Although Miss Slate's
specialty is music, she is, we believe,
sufficiently practical to care for the
pecuniary interests of the class as
well as the record and correspond
ence.
Quaker Will Appear
The propects of making the
1932 Quaker a production we have
longed to see from Guilford in the
field of student publications are
very discouraging. In spite of
many handicaps, however, I feel
safe in saying that the 1932 Quak
er will be published.

GUILFORDIAN
DR. LEE OF AMERICAN
COLLEGE OF SURGEONS
IS CHAPEL SPEAKER
Art Of Good Living Includes
Intelligence, Honesty,
Industry And Health
A CANCER SPECIALIST
B. J. Lee, a surgeon and cancer
specialist of the American College of
Surgeons in New York was guest
speaker at a recent chapel program.
Dr. Lee represented the American
College of Surgeons which was in
session in Greensboro. He interest
ingly discussed the art of good living
and told all the necessary factors for
its perfection.
Intelligence ranked as the first es
sential for success; however, he
stressed the fact that honesty was
the underlying meaning of intelli
gence in that a good character forms
most of our mentality, thus becom
ing the main support of our brain.
Smiles, according to the speaker de
termined our rank in the economic
and social world, for no sullen face
has ever helped any one to get a job.
He stated that one could not possibly
enjcy or even attain success without
health; therefore, he urged all to
take the necessary precautions con
erning the body in order to avoid
social and economical ruin.
In closing- Mr. Lee gave us the fol
lowing thought, "The road to success
does not lie open to those who grum
ble and do net try, for only the in
dustrious can hope to overcome the
obstacles in life."

i Historical Sketches Given As
Background For The
Musical Selections
i HUGE AUDIENCE ATTENDS
Celebrating the Bicentennial birth
day of George Washington, the Eu
terpe Club of Greensboro gave a con
cert Sunday, February 13th. The pro
gram opened with Mrs. Carrell At
kinson pledging allegiance to the
flag. The concert was divided into
four parts: the music most directly
linked to Washington, other music
that Washington heard or knew,
dance music of Washington's day,
and music in commemoration of
Washington. Several solos, duets, and
quartets were sung by members of
this club dressed in the colonial at
tire of Washington's day. Misses
Agnes Martin and Clyde Kearns were

readings which told of the various
stories and memories connected with
the selection. The last number "Dead

Frew Speaks On
Tower Of Books'
; Greensboro Pastor Encourages
Students To Seek
The Truth
HE IS CHAPEL SPEAKER
Allan Frew, pastor of the Church
by-the-Side-of-the-Road, Greensboro,
was the chapel speaker on Tuesday,
February ninth. His subject was "The
Power of Books."
"We of this generation," said Mr.
Frew, "are prone to look with awe
upon the power of physical things,
net realizing that within books lies a
far greater power." The apostle Paul,
in jail at Rome, called books, and
especially "the parchment."
Robert Louis Stevenson, an invalid,
Robert Burns, a poor plowman, John
I Milton, a blind man, each, though
handicapped in some way, reached a
state of influence and fame through
power exerted by books.
Mr. Frew encouraged the students
to study and search for the truths
found in books, while they have the
oppcrtunity of doing so.
MEN IN OPEN FORUM
The Men's Student Body met for
an open forum discussion during
chapel period on Tuesday morning.
' John Love, president of Men's Stud
ent Council, presided over the group.
Various problems were discussed and
special attention was given to dining
hall behavior, campus celebrations,
and church attendance.
Boys Entertained
Garden Leap
Only once in four years (to girls
have the opportunity to ask privil
eges cf the boys: however, according
to most young ladies on the campus,
one year is sufficient for them in
that they are more efficient than boys
in the art of ensnaring hearts. The
boys were forced to lower their dig
nity and allow themselves to be
escorted by the girls to the Leap
Year party at New Garden.
Much amusement was afforded by
the names of animals pinned on each
member's back, since some seemed so
appropriate. Everyone was able to
participate in some form of amuse

BUDGETS MAY BE CUT

necessity of keeping the Student Ac

forces this move, which is to be de

simultaneously in various sections.
For those who liked physical ex
ertion Horse-shce, Ping Pong, Going
to Jerusalem, and Pillow throwing
were enjoyed, while those who prefer
quiet and restful games worked num
erous puzzle games. Perhaps the
most interesting feature of the even

To climax this leap year occasion
punch and cake were served to all the
boys and their escorts.
