To the Centennial Class VOLUME XVIII Boom Among High School Papers in North Carolina HAS ORIGINALITY Greensboro "High Life" Wins Second Place in Na tional Contest. MANY FEATURE COLUMNS Great Enthusiasm for Life Is Shown by High School Minds. In this time of depression it is en couraging to note that there is a great boom on among the high school papers of North Carolina, which are up and coming with a rush. Great originality is shown in news articles, but even more in editorial features. The George Wahington Bieentenial has furnished several enterprising edi tors with ideas for feature columns. For some time the Greensboro High School paper, "High Life," published essays on aspects of Washington's life and character. "Pine Whispers," of Win ston-Salem, has printed Washington's rules of conduct, as has the Mocksville "Mocksonian." The "Boone Herald" prints compositions on Washington and Lincoln from time to time. The Greensboro "High Life" has won second prize in the national high school press association contest. The news articles of this paper concern not only events in the high school, but also, the present public school situation, the state high school press, and similar subjects. On the editorial page is usually an in teresting cartoon, a column of poetry, nonsense or otherwise "The Owl's Nest," a column whose subject would be hard to determine, and "Mephisophelian Macaroni," of the same genre, as well as a lengthy open forum and several short editorials. "Our Own Dictionary" is an inter esting and original feature of "Pine Whispers," of the R. J. Reynolds High School, in which we find the following definition: "Pony—called by book store managers 'Handy Translation'; a book devised to save wear and tear on vocab ularies. Also a small animal probably of the species horse." "Pine Whispers" prints an alumni column as a regular (Continued on Page Four) MRS. BINFORD SPEAKS ON "LIVING LIVES" TOY Powers of Leadership Can Be Devel oped by Every one. At n joint meeting of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. \V. C. A. held on Thursday, April 14, Mrs. ltayinond Blnford spoke on "Living Lives." Mrs. Blnford brought before the meeting the necessity of preparing leaders. She pointed out that while not everyone can be a lender we should all develop those powers of leadership which we do have. The first important thing is to live to one's own ideals. To do this it is necessary to know our selves. We must learn to remove our weaknesses, and to develop our strong points. Never think that you are fully developed but remember that there is always room for growth. We should constantly add to those tilings in life which will make us worthwhile. The speaker cited an example of a | beautiful thing developed from a worth less object. Our lives are like that. Once marred they can be rebuilt and made more beautiful than before.

SUMMER SCHOOL PLANSARE MADE Pleasant Surroundings Offer Standard Work and Recrea tional Opportunities. SPECIAL TRAINING GIVEN Vocational guidance and personnel are to be emphasized in Guilford's fifteenth summer session which begins May 31 and continues through August 2, 1932. Guilford is perhaps as well qualified, as any other Southern institu tion for this phase of instruction. The services of Dean Clyde A. Milner, Mrs. Ernestine C. Milner, and F. Carlyle Shepherd have been enlisted. High school teachers who find it their par ticualr privilege to council youth will find this instruction very valuable. Other aims of this session are first, to afford college students an opportuni ty to continue and supplement their Liberal Arts college course, for the work done in the summer session is standard work in a standard college and the credit received is standard credit; and second to give to teachers courses that lead to certification. Scientific courses that are to be given will include introductory biology, hy giene, chemistry, physics, and mathe matics. Physical education offers tennis, swimming, baseball, and archery.

He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Vassie Wilson, a prominent family of High Point. An explanation as to how and why the accident oc curred is not available. Alva Prevost, Wilson's companion was driving the car when it crashed into a concrete bridge. In a few minutes after the two boys were rushed to the High Point liosptal, Bobbie died. He entered as a freshman at the end of the first semester. He receivd col lege preparatory work at Woodbury Forest. GUILFORD COLLEGE, N.

CHOIR IS TAKEN ON TRIP A Capella Choir, Under Max Noah's Di rection, Has Given 25 Con certs This Season. A recent investigation shows tliiit members of the Guilford College fac ulty, besides performing their regular duties at the college, have been quite active in outside work pertaining to education. Dean Clyde A. Milner lias taken part ill conferences of natitomil and inter national import, besides spanking be fore numerous groups in this section. At the International Boys' Work con ference held in Toronto, Canada, last year, Dean Milner was tlie platform speaker for the United Suites, having as bis subject "The Trends and Prob lems of Youth in America." .\t ilie in ternational V.

Besides de livering the sermon every third Sun day at the New Harden Friends' church, once a month during the past fall Dean Milner gave a leadership course to club leaders at the Cone Me morial Y.

Tom Sykes, of High Point, and Mrs. Mary Grace Canfield Give Talks Before Student Body. SUMMARY OF YEAR'S CHAPELS Rev. Tom Sykes, of Iligli Point, as exuberant and pleasing as ever, spoke in chapel 011 Tuesday, April 5. "In these times it is easy to be sarcastic and cynical toward the church,'" he said. "And it isn't long before we get cynical toward everything that has any idealism in it." In this time of "the slimmest boom we have ever known," as Will Rogers terms the present state i of world affairs, it is well for us to consider the inspiring examples set by great men. Our own forefathers of the post-Civil War days were valiant strug glers in a worse situation that that which we are facing. Inspired by the lives of great men, Mr. Sykes continued, let us strive toward a progressive life by keeping the values of yesterday and adding those of today, all the while checking ourselves by the realization that ' man's greatest utterance is himself." Mrs. Mary Grace Canfield, of Wood stock, Vermont, and Greensboro, a very unique and charming speaker, ad dressed the chapel group on Friday, April 8.

ELWOOD COX PASSES AT HOME Twenty-nine Years Chairman of Board of Trustees of Guilford College. LEADER IN HIGH POINT Jonothan Elwood Cox, who was for thirty-eight years a member of the board of trustees of Guilford College and its chairman for twenty-nine years, died at his home in High Point, 011 March 29th. His parents, Jonothan E. Cox and Elizabeth Cox, came to Guilford in 1850 to take charge of the boarding school just before and during the Civil war. Mr. Cox spent his childhood and youth 011 the campus, becoming closely associ ated with Guilford College, never break ing the close relationship until his death seventy-two years later. Elwood Cox faithfully executed sev eral offices in connection with Guilford College. On August 11, 1894 he was elected a member of the Board of Trus tees and in September of the same year he became director of the endowment. He was commended for his efficiency and economy in directing the building of Memorial Hall and in 1903 was elected chairman of the Board of Trus tees. He willingly solicited great funds for Guilford and at the same time gave large donations himself. Elwood Cox scarcely ever was not among those who (Continued on Page Four) "Billy," Six'Weeks-Old Member Of Choir, Appears in Costume "Billy" Noah appeared in his first public voice recital on Saturday after noon, April 12. at 4 o'clock. The Guil ford College choir made up the audience and his first appearanee was pronounced a screaming success by the choir group. "Billy," the six-weeks-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Max Noah, of the music de partment, was dressed for the ceremony, in a miniature choir robe of black and white is honor of the return of the ehoir from its northern tour.

WILMINGTON IS PLEASED Forty-One of Old and New Members Spend Week Singing and Seeing. We, the members of the "A Capello Choir," have just returned from our northern tour. The tour extended from Saturday, March 26, to the following Saturday, April 2. We gave concerts in Richmond, Virginia; Washington, D. C.; Mount Airy, Maryland; Wilmington, Delaware; Atlantic City, and Pleasant Valley, near Poughkeepsie, New York. Mount Vernon was the first interest ing point which we visited. Washing ton's picturesque mansion on the Poto mac is the site of many, many ex cursions. In Washington, D. C. we were impressed by the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument. The Longwood Gardens, just a few miles out of Wilmington, are truly an earthly Paradise. They are fashioned after the famous Gardens of A T ersailles. Flowers are growing everywhere, and their fragrance fills the air. Just as words cannot describe tliem, even so time will not take the memory of them away from us. We were delighted, also, to hear the largest pipe organ is the United States, which is in the DuPont Conservatory at Longwood Gardens. But even a greater treat was in storo for us when we were privileged to ap pear in a joint concert with Mr. Swin nen, at the University of Delaware. Mr. Swinnen, the organist of the DuPont Conservatory, is a master musician who really carries his audience whereever he wills. Atlantic City could not be called a high spot in elevation, hut we considered it one. We stayed at Haddon Ilall, a large hotel; it was there that we gave our concert. Lovers of the ocean could gaze at it to their hearts content. It was a windy day, and the breakers roll ing in from the vast expanse of water gave one a felling of exaltation. New York City was really a "high light." We who have stiff necks from attempting to see the top of th'e Empire State building are sure of that. We drove down Fifth avenue and Broadway, and saw a little of the great city. We had a beautiful drive along the Hudson to Poughkeepsie. We went through Sleepy Hollow and crossed the bridge where Tchabod Crane saw the ghost. We don't have time to tell you about our trip, for that would fill up the whole "Guilfordian," but we do hope we have convinced you that our trip was worth while. and the black skirt covered his tiny bootees. But the over-sized sleeves somewhat hampered the thumb-sucking procedure, so balled-up fists and a rap idly reddening complexion preceded the opening number, "What th' —*?xx**!f, I Want My Mamma," composed several centuries ago by the famous twins, Cain and Abel. The second group, first of which was "Take That Gang Away!" was terminated by his mother before he had scarcely begun, "G! I'm a Hungry Kid," —and "Billy's" first re cital was over.
