DANCE IS PRO MIS E1)
Founders and Mary Hobbs Amazons
Will Replace Stag Line
With Doe Line.
The climax of n very successful j.
week of female conquest, "etecetrn," |
is to be in the form of one of those |
ultra-swanky, formal (words fail) af
fairs, commonly known as a get- 1
together for swing, maybe a jam ses- j
sion, or perhaps a Guilford social
gathering! Guilford's blue-blooded
"400" will assemble at Mary Ilobbs
at 8 p.m. nnd do stuff and things
from said o'clock till the 10:45 cur
few.
The Woman's Student Government
(sometimes called the Stupid govern
ment, but we disagree, judging by
merits of this dance) is sponsoring
above mentioned dance-game affair.
President C. Beittel said, "We want
to make it a new thing in way of a
get-together for games as well as
dancing." Women (for once) are
doing all the work. It is girl invite,
girl break, girl does. No superfluous
men will be seen, so, men, if you want
a date you had better hurry and turn
on the polishsed look of a come-get
me-I'm-yours person.

A. Forman of Kitchawan. X. V.
The gift is considered highly valu
able because it has it complete title

volumes of the "Journal," thought to
be third editions also but they are in

intact.
Mr. Forinnn was prompted to make

CAMPUS GALS PITCH
PARTY FOR DAY-HOPS
Variety of Entertainment Is
Enjoyed by Variety
Of Students.
FIRST STEP ON PROGRAM
By GEORGE WILSON
Hair combed, faces washed, ties
tied, forty day students splashed de
terminedly from Greensboroto Foun
ders last Tuesday to trip the light
fantastic with campus co-eds who had
planned a party for them as the first
step in their program to rehabilitate
the campus male. Games were pro
vided for the intellectuals and wall
flowers, while the social committee
phonograph blared forth fairly recent
recordings to which blissful couples
shook and wiggled or glided and clung
according to their sectional origin:
i.e.. north or south.
I Dr. and Mrs. Williams, who chap
eroned the affair, danced nicely, po
litely, nnd well, sitting out occasional
ly so that they might better view the
surprising antics of the proletariat.
I,ater. Philosopher Williams bared his
teeth ina guilty, wolfish grin when he
was caught at the punch bowl for the j
| third time. Reasoned he. "I was
thirsty."
I'riscilln Palmer and George Wilson,
confirmed rug-cutters, panted and
sweated happily as they turned, twist
ed and shook the core out of the
"little apple." Guy Thomas looked
| cute dancing a refined version of the
"apple" with tiny-mite Polly Morton.
Bob 1.. Wilson and clowning Corky
Parker stole the show when they in
augurated a new long-short style of
dancing. Towering, Falstafl'ian Pete
McMillan blinked rapidly and bash
fully when Cesea Fanning turned on
the heat. Katherine Beittel smiled
warmly and sweetly across a game of
plain, old-fashioned, ordinary check
ers at bus-driver John Wright, who
later consumed incredible amounts of

Reporter
To be chased or not to be, that is
the question. Whether it is more
conducive to the flowering of romance
to be pursued, or to take too, too
willing arms from about the neck and
revert to the natural order of things,
and by so doing sound Sadie's death
knell .... To date, to ask, and by
that asking to say is meant requests
by male and not by female means . . .
The Guilfordian, in accordance with
its policy of covering and printing
student opinion on matters of import
ance, has plumbed the campus mind
to its not too impressive depths, and
herewith presents actual comments
made regarding Sadie Hawkins Week.
Doris Wanstall: "I thought it was a
good thing at first, but now . . ."
Eloise Mitchell: "I'm mid-Victorian
enough to think it's the darnedest
tiling ever invented." Waxing indig
nant. "There ain't no such thing as
love!"
Mrs. Milner: "It's the dumbest
thing . . ."

liver a short summary of the use of
music in worship, Beginning with mu
sic's historical and scriptural aspects
he will trave music down to the present
day forms. Hymns and what consti
tutes good hymns will be discussed as
well as how music should be used in
present day worship.
Dr. Weis plans to allow discussion
from the audience and to illustrate the
types of sacred music cited by the
renditions of the choir. Russian selec
tions will illustrate the more emotional
class of religious music, whiie praise
music, prayer music, and scripture text
music will, in turn, be sung as ex
amples of the other divisions.

wonder he didn't show up for the
dance. I didn't have to give Mac

What did 1 give Ashcan? I'm not
going to tell you!"
Thomas Ashcraft: "It's sure h—!"
Wilson Byrd (to Pris Palmer) : It's

I catch any of those day-hops hanging
around you I'll wham the daylights

Hill Cla ypoole: "Go away. Can't

The Hendricks Boys (in unison) :
"Oh, goody."

LEAD ROLES FOR

Jimmy Phillips Slated for
Varied Parts.
VETERANS ARE RETAINED
Tom Taylor and George Wilson Cast
As Vagabond and
Governor.
Adding more tlism a halt-dozen new
names to the ranks of veterans already
on hand, the Dramatic council lias com
pleted its spring production, "The Tur
crii." George Wilson and Tom Taylor
are the sole representatives of the coun
cil's "Old Guard," while Kay Beittel,
Tom Ashcraft and Jimmy Philips have
been cast in leading romantic, comic,
and heavy roles, respectively. Audrie
(iardliam is wifely and motherly, at;
one and the same time. Ben Fitzgerald
is a mysterious menace (sic.) to all
males. Ted Mills anl Virginia Conrad
are frowned-on lovers. Charles Lewis
is superciilious and Nick Vanech, Jim
-McDonald, and Joe Creseenzo represent
the strong arm of the law.
This collection of characters meet
in the tavern on the dark and stormy
night of March 18th. Director Marshall
is supervising the building of infernal
machines to simulate wind, rain, hail,
thunder and lightning. Shotguns and
pistols will also help to furnish the
(iuiiford college theater-goers with the
noisest and most rapid action it has
seen in years.
PLANS FOR MAY DANCE
ARE BEING COMPLETED
Modern Dance Cluh Is Working On
Version of Minuet To
Be Used.
COLONIAL DANCE IS THEME
May Day this year will be in old
colonial setting, probably baaed around
Dolly Madison, wife of James Madi
son, former president of the United
States. Born practically on Guilford
campus, her historic birthplace is
marked by a well in the front yard
of Doctor Ljung's residence on Friend
ly Road.
Miss McColl reports that plans are
incomplete as yet, but there will be
several episodes using characteristic
country dances of the settlers who
populated this territory in colonial
days, namely, the English, Scotch-
Irish and Germans. Both elaborate
costumes of the day and simple Qua
ker dress will be used in carrying out
the 18th century theme.
