LETTERS TO THE GUILFORDIAN.
(The publication of letters does not
necessarily imply that their senti
ments are endorsed by The Guilford
ian.)
We don't have socials here at
Guilford, we have tete-a-tetes. A
boy and a tii*l discover a con
sciousness of kind, pair oil' and
the vis-a-vis lasts till !► o'clock.
"I've had a perfectly lovely
lime," she says with school-girl ef
fusion. She tells the truth the
first few times, but after that it is
a hackneyed mere matter of form.
So the couples get bored and how
abont the individuals? The boys
will go back to their dormitories
in less than ten minutes and the
stray girls will play Rook.
The term social is evidently mis
applied, for it means a source of
common enjoyment. Only the hal
lowed few who are blessed with
having partners in the fair sex find
any source of happiness. Let us
have a HnUjuv social. This will be
unique if it all'ords amusement to
the students in general, for such a
social has not yet come oil'. Tete
a-tetes are boresome to even the
most blase couple and a change in
the line of socials would be wel
comed by the entire student body.
The Fair.
What is the oject of the Central
Carolina Fair? If it is for educa
tional purposes, and to encourage
rivalry and display in the products
of the farm and factories in order
to urge the people to a higher
standard of production, then
would not a day given to the Fair
be of a greater benefit to the stu
dents than a day of recitations?
Particular provision was made for
the students of Guilford county so
that none would be excluded. The
high schools and public schools did
not assemble that their students
might have the benefit of this occa
sion. The Fair at best is a source
of rather cheap and nnedifying
amusement and probably we, as
college students, should have
reached the point where we no
longer care for it, if such is so,
well and good; but it seems from
Ihe number of students who at
tended the Fair on Friday that a
great many of us are still in a
rather puerile stage. Let us have
some unified action in the matter.
Either let us have a day for the
Fair or let us decide that we are
men enough to forego such child
ish amusement and not disrupt the
workings of the College for the
whole of Fair week.
All material for Literary Sup
plement must be in by November
the first.

week end at High Point, (he guest

Y. W. C. A. PICNIC.
The V. \V. \ A. gave its annual
picnic Saturday afternoon, Octo
ber 10th, 1014. About 1 o'clock all
tlie girls assembled at Founder's
ITall, where live large hay wagons
were waiting to be loaded. There
were several moments of confusion
before Miss Louise arranged the
girls as she wished them to be, but
Iwe were soon on our way. T':e
many new girls were continually
asking bow much farther. At last
we arrived. Such a crowd of girls
we were, in a moment scattered
out of sight, groups going into
every direction, to the lake, to tlie
springs, and from one monument
to another, until every place was
explored by each girl
About 5 o'clock we again assem
bled neaji the moinmient of Keren
{mman.^-h o.rode from
Maryland to .SnJiinhin-y to nurse
her son who had been wounded in
the American Revolution. We ali
joined heartily in singing ''The
Old North State," after which
Miss Julia a short,
interesting talk m* of
her love and devotion for her son
and her great womanly character.
Following this we sang the Guil
ford songs. Supper was then
served consisting of sandwiches,
toasted puppies, persimmon pud
ding, coffee, cakes and grapes.
Ernest Shore, of class of 'l4,
who has been with the Boston
Americans the past season, has re
turned to the college to do some
post-graduate work and assist in
coaching athletics. Ernest has
made a great record the past sea
son and is considered by critics to
be the most promising young
pitcher who has broken into the
American League in recent years.
