VOLUME XXI
World-Famous Play Given
At Guilford College Soon
EVANS HAS LEAD
Former Stars Appear in This
Play, Made Famous by
Jane Cowl.
PARSONS HAS TITLE ROLE
Tragedy, Comedy and Romance Culmi
nate in This Thrilling Senti
mental Melodrama.
"Smilin* Through," the world-famous
comedy-drama by Allan Langdon Mar
tin, will be presented by the Guilford
College Dramatic Council at Memorial
Ilall March 9.
This sensational piece, which brought
world renown to Jane Cowl as an ac
tress, is based on a love tragedy oc
curring 50 years back. On the night
of her wedding, a beautiful young
bride-to-be is shot and killed by a re
jected suitor who intends to kill the
man she is to marry.
She promises her lover she will come
back to him, "gmilin' through" the
mists that separated the life here and
the hereafter. And when, as time
passes, a boy and girl of the families,
out of the present generation, fall in
love and are separated by the hatred
of their elders, her spirit returns to
aid them in their romance.
This beautiful, fantastic tale of a
great romance winds its way onward
and upward to a gripping climax.
A comedy-drama with a smile and a
tear, it has all of the quaint, whimsical
Irish sentiment without sentimentality.
The part of Kathleen Dungannon is
taken by Mary Evans. James Parsons
is Kenneth Wayne, her lover. John
Carteret and Dr. Owen Harding will
be played by Earl Kuykendall and
Daryl Kent.
Esther Stilson is Ellen, J. L. Jones is
Willie Ainlev, William Grigg is Jere

CHOIR PLANS TRIP WEST
EARLY IN THE SPRING
Annual Spring Vacation Choir Trip to
Extend as Far as
Ohio.
HOME CONCERT LAST OF MARCH
Arrangements for 1 lie annual spring
trip of the Guilford College choir, em
bracing eight days and calling for ap
pearances in five stats besides North
Carolina, are being formed.
The choir, *l4 strong, under the di
rection of Max Noah, will break all
precedent customs by touring the mid
west. For the past four years the or
ganization has toured the eastern
states, but rather than concentrate all
its efforts in one section, the choir will
pioneer into a new section, thus widen
ing the range of its touring area and
establishing a name for itself in the
west.
Leaving March 23, the choir is sched
uled to appear in Oliffside, X. f\, that
night. From there the group will pro
ceed to Knoxville, Tenn. At this point
the choir will sweep northward through
Kentucky, giving appearances at vari
ous points, and will continue on to
Cincinnati, Ohio, where in addition to
its concert tlie group will broadcast
from station WLW, the largest radio
station in the world.
Trenton, Ohio, will be the next stop,
and from here the group proceeds into
West Virginia for an appearance at
Huntington and Charleston.
These are some of the high spots of
the tour, which has not yet been com
pleted. Wytlieville, Sunday night, will
bo the last stop.
GUILFORDIAN

A new way of nominations by
petition is being carried out by the
student affairs board for the forth
coming spring elections. There are

CAMPUS PROJECTS ARE
PROGRESSING NICELY
Large Dogwood Tree Donated by Miss
Laura Worth Is Set Near the
.Music Building.
RHODODENDRONS ARE PLANTED
Mr. Newlin reports that the campus
projects are progressing very nicely. A
row of roses lias been planted from
Mary Ilobbs Hall to the west road.
This walk is called the Mary ITobbs
walk, and now has 40 "Paul's Scarlet"
roses along its sides and there is a
trellis being built to accommodate these
roses as they grow and to make the
campus more beautiful. Some of the
old and dead shrubbery around the
gat is being replaced. English ivy
has been planted at the gate also. Mr.
Pancoast has almost completed the
pruning of the shrubbery around the
Music, building, and the large dogwood
tree that Miss Laura Worth donated
has been planted on the 'corner near
the Music building. Miss Rachel Tay
lor, of High Point, has planted some
rhododendrons around Mary Ilobbs
Hall and is taking much interest in
the task of beautifying the campus.
There arc s veral other projects on the
verge of being started, but the work
has not begun as yet. It is very prob
able that some of this will begin in a
1 few days.
Guilfordian Takes Peace
Poll Among Student Body
QUAKER HOLDS
FOR BEST S
Work on the Guilford College
annual, the Quaker, is progressing
rapidly. The cover design is made,
and the opening sections have al
ready been printed. The final pic

ment in this contest is to hand in
those snapshots taken off or on the
campus, or of people in or con
nected with the college, the more
interesting, the better. The time
limit has been extended to March
23. On this day all snapshots must
be in. There will be a prize of
$1 for the best and 50 cents for
the second best.
NEW MUSIC TEACHER
SURPRISED AT SOUTH
Had Never Seen Magnolia
Tree:? or Colored People
When She Came Here.
LIKES SOUTHERN ACCENT
On hearing that this was Miss
Kirsh's first trip south, I had to go up
and see her. It seems that it was rain
ing the day she arrived, hut that didn't
[ faze Miss Kirsli as she dashed out in
the rain to see the two magnolia trees
in front of Founder's.
; On hearing that we had colored cooks
she immediately inspects the kitchen.
And much to her pleasure she meets
Laura, the handsomest and bestest
cook in the south. The food is diffi
[ cult to become adjusted to, she told me,
I especially the corn bread. Well, she
has fellow stiff rers in the cause.
"A hint to the wise is sufficient," so
-ays an old proverb. Mi?s Kirsh just
loves the southern accent. She thinks
it is quite fascinating. "In three
| months, if T acquire an accent I won't
I Im- able to go home," she told me. Well,
j now, that's no crime and maybe she
won't want to go home.
"Everyone has been grand to me,"
and I am wondering if this is alto
sjT' titer duo to the efforts of the young
I ladies on campus.

NUMBER 10
LEAGUE FAVORED
In General Follow Other Col
leges Rather Closely on
Literary Digest Ballot.
221 EXPRESS OPINIONS
Largvst Majority Favor Government
Control of Munitions Industry,
Only 20 Opposing Measure.
In the college peace poll taken in
chapel recently in co-operation with the
Literary Digest, the 221 students pres
ent voted as follows: That the United
States could stay out of another great
war; that they would fight if this coun
try were invaded; that they would not
fight in the invasion of the borders of
another country; that a navy and air
force second to none is not a sound
method of keeping us out of a Avar;
they voted decisively for government
control of armament and munition in
dustries and for universal conscription
of capital and labor in time of war.
On the entry of the United States
into the League of Nations, the vote
was emphatically in favor of entry—
-77 per cent, in contrast to the national
average of 50 per cent.
As a whole, the women were de
cidedly more peace-loving than the
men, voting 81 per cent that the coun
try could stay out of war, only 50 per
cent to fight if invaded, and 02 per
cent against fighting as invaders, in
contrast to 70, 80 and 75 per cent, re
spectively, for the men. The women
also voted 88 per cent to the men's 67
per cent against a large air and naval
force, and 84 per cent to the men's 71
per cent in favor of the League.
As a group, the senior class ex
pressed itself more definitely than the
other three classes, having the highest
percentage pro or con in four of the
seven questions and the lowest per
centage in the other three. Otherwise
the ballotings were fairly regular or on
the % same level.
The question on which the largest
agreement was found was that on gov
ernment control of munitions, the
;i vera go percentage vote in favor being
00 per cent, the junior class reaching a
high of 07 per cent in favor of it.
ATTENDANCE RECORD IS
COMPILED IN LIBRARY
First Hour in the Morning, Noon, and
Evening Appear to Bring
Most Students.
MONDAY MORNING BUSIEST TIME
Miss Hicks lias compiled an attend
ance record of tlie number of students
using the library encli period for tho
week of January 28-February 3.
Taking these results as indicative of
tho general use throughout the year,
an average of 370 students use the
library each day.
The attendance was greatest oil Mon
day, with a total of 401 students in the
library, and the least (with the excep
tion of Saturday) on Tuesday, with 338
students.
A comparison of the attendance by
periods is also interesting. Our indus
trious college students seem to be busi
est the first hour in the morning, the
first hour after lunch, and the first
hour after dinner. The maximum num
ber for any period was Monday morn
ing from 8 to 9, with a total of 85 in
attendance, although much of this num
ber was probably due to people return
ing books.
