Centennial Committee
Reviews Past Progress
TO MEET TODAYIF
Plans Made for Further Ad
vancement of Hundredth Year
Program; Classes Make Gifts.
J. D. COX IS CHAIRMAN
Living Endowment Fund is Steadily
Growing Through Contributions
of Interested Individuals.
Guilford College's Central Centennial
committee is scheduled to meet this
morning to review past progress and
to plan the further advancement of
the hundredth year program, according
to a statement recently made by Chair
man Joseph D. Cox, of High Point.
Under discussion at the meeting will
be the committee's program for im
provement of the campus by means of
gifts from classes, alumni chapters,
and individual alumni.
The Centennial committee, like the
Living Endowment fund, is an agency
designed to keep Guilford College's
horizons widening. In its one hundred
years of history, the college has grown
from a small boarding school serving
only its immediate area to a thriving,
heavily endowed college having a sus
tained student body of 300. many of
whom come from homes outside the
state, and some of whom come from
points as far distant as Japan.
Classes Undertake Projects
The responsibility for various cam
pus improvements has already been
accepted by various individuals and
groups. A partial list of these ac
ceptances follows:
Student Affairs building, accepted by
class of 1030. Campus lighting, accepted
by class of 1935. Memorial Drive, ac
cepted by John Van Lindle.v. Improved
Athletic Facilities, accepted by class of
1014 and Monogram club. Memorial
West Gate, accepted by class of 1033.
Departmental Libraries, Sociology, l>r.
Mark C. Mills.
In addition to these material gifts,
tile Living Endowment fund, aimed at
the goal of a SIO,OOO sustained yearly
income, is steadily growing, through
contributions from individuals inter
ested in the college. During the past
year, 220 individuals contributed a
total of $2,301 to this fund, and it
sin'ins likely that in the future the
motivating principle of the fund, the
provision of the equivalent of au addi
tional $200,000 endowment for the col
lege, will be achieved.
Alumni, Officers Compose Committee
A considerable majority of Cox's
committee is composed of alumni; those
members who are not graduates are
in general, officers of the college. The
members of the committee are Dudley
I). Carroll, chairman of Guilford Col
lege's Board of Trustees: 1). Italph
I'arker. Herbert Petty, William Blair,
president of Guilford alumui; Mary M.
Petty, Paul Nunn, Clyde A. Milncr.
president of Guilford; Baymond Pin
ford, president emeritus of Guilford;
Eva Campbell, professor of biology;
F. ('. Khepard, professor of education;
and David Parsons, Centennial secre
tary.

TO FOLLOW USUAL REGULATIONS
It looks as though five of our seniors
are getting ready to "build a little
home" or at least look after one. Clara
Kobcrtson, Millie Glisson, Dot Wood
ward, Mabel Ituekiier. and Ituth New
lin have been housekeeping for the last
live weeks at Mrs. J. Franklin Davis"
about a quarter of a mile down the
station road. Quite a nice walk in
the morning and afternoon.
Don't think they're getting away
with anything, because they have the
same regulations as girls living on cam
pus—the same rigamarole of signing
out and getting permission. Of course,
there is no regular "quiet hour" but
when one has to get up a 1"> to cook
breakfast, one doesn't us care for
noise later than 10 or 10 locs one?
Each one had the ex pi ice of be
ing hostess for a week, during which
time she did all the marketing and
planning for meals and also supervised
cooking.

Quakers Parade Costumes

Anything can happen on Halloween
night. This was proven by the fact
that our demure Lucy Gaunt appeared
at the Guilford College Halloween

Woolston promised the world at large—

Don Wood strolled calmly around in
a bathing suit and a pirate's hat while
someone else clothed in newspapers be- i

Horns and whistles were served anil :
even our most conservative Quakers
were seen to indulge lustily. An extra
silent chapel should he held this week
in order to reinstate them in the good
graces of George Fox.
Among the belles of the evening were
Kathleen Perry, gorgeous in a laven
der velvet colonial dress; Betsy Bulla,
a naive little Japanese girl; Betty
Trotter, a charming gypsy; and Charles
Llnilley, a negro mammy built on ample
lines.

MISS RAGSDALE PLANS
WALK FOR STUDENTS
Intends to Avert Necessity for Detour
Caused by Destruction of
Old Path.
Miss Virginia Itagsdale is building a
walk for the use of the college stu
dents as they go oil their hikes and
outings to tin* college woods.
She felt thn; her home was a bar
' rier as the old path went right through
her front yard. Thus, in order to pre
vent tbe students from a detour, she
has started a new walk which is
located just, outside of the grove of
trees in her front yard and leads to
the old road by the water tower. One
of the distinctive features of this new
walk is that it is bordered with, among
other trees, three giant oaks.
Miss Itagsdale hopes to plant dowers
along the walk la i r on.
the mortgage money in her hand and
Henry Nuu at her heels. Henry, en
joying his rule as hero, proceeded to
smock the bad, bod MiUon Anderson
with gusto.
The tragedy of the evctiing came
upon the discovery that four of our
outstanding scholars—• Woolsten. Bed
Stevenson, Peahead Balm and Kay
liable were just a fine bunch of
.-■ackers. And they seemed like such
n1 e people, too.
John Bradshaw, "the man who rules
over the lower regions." appeared with
;i becoming crown of sun flowers and
showed surprisingly little appreciation
j for the alphabet, considering the fact
that h ■ Is a senior of such good stand
ing: the letters AAA, I'WA, and CCC,
j seemed particularly obnoxious to him.
Mr. Bradshaw even went so far as to
say lie hadn't seen so many letters
| since the last time he ate vegetable
-oil]) —and then proceeded to promise
many wonderful things in the name
ol his candidate, Governor "Blandon."
Mr. Woolston, who obviously likeil liis
alphabet and vegetable soup better
than Mr. Bradshaw, did not, however,
go so far as to ride a donkey to the
party.
The gymnasium became a riot when

cusses "Traditions of Art."
CENSURES "MODERN" ART
Declaring that "art is the successful
communication of a valuable ev
perienci'" Hon Karl Looney, of the
Greensboro Art Center, nave an illus
trated lecture entitled "Traditions of
Art" in tin' Memorial hall auditorium
the evouin gof October 29.
According (o .Mr. Looney, Egyptian
art was "destined to die" because of
the staidness and constraint exercised
by tli.' Egyptian artists. The Persians,
following tlic passing of the Nile art,
produced a very decorative and florid
type of art, but it remained for the
Greeks to give proper perspective and
naturalness to art. "The (ireelcs glori
fied the human figure," declared the
sp, akcr as a ties of nude and semi
nude forms were paraded on the screen.
Mr. Looney termed Rubens, the
Flemish artist, the world's greatest
painter and Itembrandl, the Dutch
painter, the greatest etcher and color
artist the world has known.
"The 'new' school of art does not
study the old masters first and then
produce their own tangen.s, but they
begin with their own tangents," stated
Mr. Looney In concluding the lecture
which was sponsored by the Women's
Art club of the Guilford College com
munity.
