Stay for
Commencement
VOLUME XVIX
Members of Faculty Make
Plans for Summer Months
SOME ON CAMPUS
Mr. Newlin Will Slay Here and
Teach, He Says, "If He
Has One Student."
SOME EXPECT TO STUDY
Mr. Cranford Without Definite Plans;
Binfords and Milners on Cam
pus All Summer.
Faculty plans for the summer? How
can. a faculty be expected to have any
plans when they haven't had any salary
for so long? The only thing they can
hope to do is to stay here where they
can get room and board or to try to
get to their homes where maybe they
can le assured of the same.
When they were asked the question,
"What are you planning to do this sum
mer?" most of them immediately gave
a little forced smile and assumed an
expression which gave one the under
standing that they had been bothered
with this question because fate and
existing circumstances had already
planned their summer for them.
As Mr. Newlin expressed it, he would
stay here and teach in summer school if
he had one student. The faculty and
students are not similar in all respects,
but in this one matter, they both find
themelves relieved of the problem of
deciding how to spend their vacation
money. So this summer we can picture
our faculty members as follows:
Dr. Binford, hurrying in and out of
his office, as usual, and out on campus,
helping to direct the construction of
our new roads and gymnasium. Dean
and Mrs. Milner in their usual official
duties and teaching philosophy and psy
chology.
Mr. and Mrs. Newlin, enjoying their
garden and lawn, especially the seat out
under the trees. But they have been
playing safety first, and even if they
don't have many students, they will
have some vegetables to eat#

MAJOR IN DEPT. OF REI.IGION
"William Penn: The Fighting Demo

tho interesting title of an interesting
chapel talk by Marshall Budd, Friday,

A burst of applause greeted the
speaker when he arose, and a burst of
laughter came forth when he stated
that "It's the first time in my sweet
young life that I've had any sympathy
for a chapel speaker."

words, shaking them up in a straw hat,
and finally selecting the subject from
these words. Each word had been used
for a certain reason, which he gave.
Mr. Budd stated that there were five
things of importance in William Penn's
life. These were his father and son
relation, growth in religious experience,
colonizing, Indian policy, and liis con
tribution to social theory. He developed
each of these points in a fascinating

GRADUATING CLASS
REVEALS FUTURE
Very Few Have Positions as
Teachers Several Are
Going Home.
TWO HAVE SCHOLARSHIPS
Sleeping, eating and keeping cool
seem to be the eliief aims of our seniors
for the summer. Bob Jamieson has
about the best method of performing
the latter—he is planning to work in an
iee plant. Dave Parsons says that he
is going to spend his time down on the
old farm, and enjoy himself before the
grind of getting an M. A. at Haverford
begins.
Anne Wiley is taking to the highways,
with an extended northern trip;, but
Guilford College seems to be good
enough for Charles Milner. Pop Greene
just couldn't wait to settle his courting
affair, so he has already gone back to
New Jersey.
Only a few of the grads arc lucky
enough to have obtained teaching po
sitions—waiting for the legislature, you
know—but Mary Cannon sees possibili
ties of becoming a good mathematics
professors.
Tho profession of being a doctor is
beckoning Carl .Tones and Bob Mears,
but for the present, the latter seems to
have taken such a liking to Mrs. Xewlin
that he is going to stay bore and keep
her company during the summer.
It is hard to toll just what Earl Bren
dell will do this summer, but he is
planning to do graduate work at Duke
next year, and George Hardin is also
going to continue his studies —in "Rhode
Island. Matthew Bridger. along with
Pave, has a scholarship to liaverford,
where lie will go in September.
Those are the plans of a few seniors,
but the very great majority are aiming
only to forget school and have a grand
time.

FINAL CONCERT IS
GIVEN RY CHOIR
The Choir Has Given More Than Thirty
Concerts During the Past
Season.
ARE ENTERTAINED AT CONCORD
With an excellent concert in the
Music auditorium at Chapel Hill on
Tuesday, May 23, the choir brought to
a close what has been probably the
most successful season of its existence.
The trip was made at the invitation of
Dr. Harold Dyer, head of the music
department at the University.
On the preceding Sunday afternoon
the organization gave a concert at the
Salisbury Lutheran church, after which
the entire group was entertained at
supper by Dr. and Mrs. Davis, at Con
cord. In the evening the choir sang
at the Presbyterian church there to a
very appreciative audience.
The choir this year has made more
trips than in any preceding years, the
concerts numbering about 30, 15 of
which were Riven on the Northern trip
during the spring vacation.
The members of the organization owe
a very great deal to the competent
direction of Professor Max Noah, who
assumed the entire responsibility of the
trips this season.
As a whole, the concerts this year
have been very well received, and they
give promise of many other successful
seasons to come.
Outstanding Graduate
DAVID PARSONS
DAVID PARSONS IS
VERSATILE SENIOR
Scholastic Attainment Primary
Goal, But Has Not Neglected
Any College Activity.
AWARDED SCHOLARSHIP
One of the prominent Guilford stu
dents now graduating is David Parsons.
Dave's ability as a leader became mani
fest from the very start when at the
beginning of his Freshman year he was
elected president of bis class and a
member of the Men's Student Council.
Although his interests have included
many extra-curricular activities, scho
lastic attainment has been his primary
goal. The results of his curricular ef
forts have placed him on the honor
roll of the college during his entire ca
reer at Guilford College. Secondary
to us, his activity in the field of Dra
matics has *! duration of equal length,
as his membership with the Dramatic
Council began in his Freshman year,
lasting through his Senior year. In the
play productions of the Dramatic Coun
cil he has had leading parts for four
years, doing exceptional work in "Cap
tain Applejack," "Outward Bound," and
"The Enemy," which he helped to di
rect. •

NUMBER 7
MISS SARA DAVIS IN
FINAL RECITAL OF
YEAR IS PLEASING
Guilford's Most Talented Pian
ist Gives the Best Program
of the Year.
JEWELL CONRAD ASSISTS
Difficult Pieces From Beethoven and
Bach Were Very Well In
terpreted.
One of the most entertaining recitals
of the year was given here Saturday
evening, May 30, when Miss Sarah Da
vis, assisted by Miss Jewell Conrad, so
prano, gave her graduating piano re
cital. Miss Davis is one of Guilford's
most talented musicians, and one of
whom the college is very proud.
Miss Davis began her recital with
Beethoven's Sonata, Op. 10, No. 3, which
at once won the audience. This sonata
is in four movements: Presto, with
spontaneous but heavy chords worked
in with the lighter tones; Largo, a slow
movement which depicts the melancholy
emotions of the composers and Menu
etto and Rondo, which are much lighter
in nature.
The next number, Ballade, Op. 10,
No. 1, by Brahms, was written to his
son, who had died, out of sorrow for
him. Waltz in G, by Friedman-Gartner,
is very rhythmic. It received the most
applause from the audience.
"Concertstuck," by von \V T eber, a con
certo, with Miss Wilbur at the second
piano, showed Miss Davis* mastery of
technique.
"O, Sleep, Why Dost Thou Leave
Me?" was perhaps Miss Conrad's best
number.
DR. KELLEY OF NEW YORK
IS A SPEAKER IN CHAPEL
College Gives Opportunity to Develop
Wholesome Religious
Attitude.
REVEALS OUR INTERESTS TO US
The opportunities for lasting friend
ships offered by a college was the topic
stressed by Dr. Robert Kelley, of New
York City, executive secretary of the
American Association of Colleges for
the past 1G years, as he talked to the
students in chapel on Tuesday morn
ing, May 23.
lie gave three reasons for coming to
college: To find what we are most in
terested in and develop this interest;
to learn to play, relax and fill our lei
sure time; to develop a wholesome atti
tude toward religion.
"The opportunity of forming charac
ter, of making wholesome friendships
which will last through life, losing one
self in generous enthusiasm, learning
manners from students who are gentle
men are only a few things offered by a
college," concluded Dr. Kelley.
