Guilfordians Welcome Back
Kent, Inspirational Teacher
by Ah CAPFIELLO
His deep voice charmed students
into taking religion classes they didn't
really want. His chapel talks were so
appreciated and admired by under
classmen that his public speaking
classes waxed large with rising young
orators eager to learn his secrets. Guil
fordians became psychologists merely
to have a chance to see their friends
hypnotized or to be hypnotized them
selves in seminar.
He was interested in dramatics. He
was in and helped to direct several
plays. Mem was packed each Christ
mas to hear him read Dicken's Christ
mas Carol. He and his wife lived in a
little brick house on the Friendly
Road. Students found it a very pleas
ant place to visit, and numerous ex
cuses were concocted to warrant short
off-campus walks "Kentward."
And then, in 1943, Daryl Kent left
Guilford and his assistant professor
ship in Religion to accept his commis-
College Celebrates
112 th Charier Day
Dr. R. B. Montgomery Gives
Main Address At New Garden
Meeting House January 13
Guilford College celebrated her one
hundred twelfth chnrter day on Janu
ary 13, 1940 at New Garden Meeting
House. Dr. R. B. Montgomery, presi
dent of Lynchburg College, was the
principal speaker at this occasion. The
subject of his talk was "Christianity
and Education."
The program took place at the regu
lar worship service at 11:00 Sunday
morning. Rev. Mr. B. Russell Branson,
pastor of New Garden Meeting gave
the invocation; Mr. E. Daryl Kent
read the scripture; President Clyde A.
Mllner introduced Dr. Montgomery;
and Dr. Algle I. Newlin gave a prayer.
The New Garden College-Community
Choir, under the direction of Dr. Curt
Victorlus, rendered several selections.
Mendelssohn's "If With All Your
Hearts" and "Rejoice In the Lord Al
ways," by Purcell were the two main
anthems sung by the choir.
Senior Carnival Nets S7O
The Senior Class Carnival given
January 5, turned out to be a big suc
cess and netted nearly S7O for the class
treasury. The seniors are making plans
for a trip to some far point on a
chartered bus, and the Carnival was
the means of raising the funds. The
place and time have not been decided
definitely as yet, but the class will
leave on Friday night and return Sun
day night. Suggestions about places of
interest not over S7O away will be
much appreciated by the seniors. Turn
all ideas in to Snaki Knight.
Musicians Give Program
The group which entertained soldiers
at the Greensboro USO at a program
in December was asked to give another
similar show at ORD, Greensboro.
The participants in the Thursday
evening musical program were Sue
Shelton, Peggy Taylor, Betty Anne
Brown, Aileen Gray, Mary Corbin, and
Beth Frederick.

sion as Chaplain In the Navy. After
he completed his two months course
at the Naval Chaplain School at Wil
liam and Mary, he waß assigned to
duty at the New Orleans Naval Sta
tion. He remained there until .Tune,
1944. Here he was made officer in
charge of the library, besides his regu
lar duties as Chaplain.
On the 10th of June, Kent was
ordered overseas to the South Pacific,
where his main duty was on board the
U. S. S. Amycus. However, he spent
short periods of time on New Cale
donia and in Australia. He also visited
the island of New Guinea, and spent
ten months on waters adjacent to
Luzon, in the Philippines. When the
war ended, he was at Subic Bay, where
he marked time until his discharge in
the latter part of December.
Now he is back at his old duties and
several new ones. To one of Guilford's
most popular teachers, Guilford says,
"Welcome back, Mr. Kent. We're glad
to see you!"

Nowhere except Guilford is the cor

weather: heat when it's hot—no heat

Guilfordians have a custom of jour
neying down to Holioweli's for coffee
and doughnuts after breakfast. They
also enjoy doughnuts and coffee after
lunch. But after dinner, for a change
of atmosphere, they frequent the Boar.
They lobby the bcllrlnger; they mob
the mailman. They haunt the library
steps when spring comes. They greet
their friends enthusiastically and talk
long and loudly in King Ilall as
though they hadn't seen them the
night before.
No self-respecting Guilfordian would
leave his girl at 10:00 p.m. without n

Mills Relates Experiences
In Ambulance Unit in China
By BETTINA HUSTON
Driving trucks piled 13 or 14 feet
high, spending weeks traveling on
northern roads where the daily tem
perature drops to -15 degrees, being
stuck with a broken axle in an icy
stream for five days, getting repairs
from a nearby (48 miles away) garage
—all seen far from l>orlng to us but
became so familiar to Ted Mills after
3 years with the Friends Ambulance
Unit in China that on being interviewed
he claimed to have nothing interesting
to tell. From the "nothing" he managed
to talk for an hour and a half. We
gathered that China is a very interest
ing country and being there with the
Friends was an interesting, not to men
tion worthwhile, experience.
Chinese courtesy, It seems, consists
of refusing anything offered until
you're afraid you might be 'taken ser
iously and then suddenly accepting. In
a restaurant the custom often takes on
all the aspects of an east-side brawl
before it is decided who shall have the
privilege of paying the bill. This can
easily develop into the fine art of
sponging if maneuvered with sufficient
skill.
Too, there Is nothing like Chinese
hospitality which is practically univer
sal and crops up in all classes. Stuck
out in the middle of nowhere one cold
day, Ted and a companion sought shel
ter in one of two lonely shacks. It con
sisted of one room, four sage brush
walls which hung flapping in the breeze
from the sage thatched roof, and sever
al poles supporting it all. Within these
walls dwelt grandma, grandpa, mother,
father, 6 children, 2 pigs, 4 or 5 chick
ens, 2 dogs and some cats in company
with a plow, a grinding mill, and a
mud-puddle for the pigs to wallow in.
Hut it was still possible to provide the
strangers with all the facilities to
wash, a place by the stove, and a de
cent hot meal. And this sort of hospi
tality they found offered them every
where.
Ted graduated from Guilford In
1941; then spent a year at Hartford.
Immediately after leaving Hartford,
in June, he offered to go China along
with about ten others for the American
Friends. After spending the summer in
various training stations, he left for
