THE GUILFORDIAN
VOLUME 11.
BASKETBALL OUTLOOK
Guilford's basketball season for
mally opens on the 19th of Janu
ary when we meet the strong A. &
M. team on our own floor. The A.
& M. College has been one of (inil
ford's strongest, but friendly,
rivals in athletics for many years.
So then the opening game of the
season promises to be one of the
best games of the whole year. But
in order for our team to make a
creditable showing we, as loyal
students, must necessarily sup
port it in every possible way. So
let's all unite in a solid body and
"root" unceasingly for our men
until the final whistle blows, and
victory will be ours.
Just who will compose the team
is not yet definitely decided, but it
will be largely made up of new
men and last year's substitutes.
Herbert Worth, who played last
year on the Salisbury Y. M. C. A.
team, is a very promising man for
center or for guard. He is fast
and heady. Dalton Smith, last
year's substitute and a very fast
man, is rapidly rounding into
form. Troy Short is going good,
and from all indications, some
body is going to have to get busy
to keej) up with liim. Tom Se
mans, one of the fastest men on
last year's varsity team, will prob
ably be seen at his old position as
forward. E. A. Moore, Manager
J. P. Garner, J. H. Beeson, Wayne
Miller and others are seen on the
court every afternoon trying for
one of the places.
In the securing of the services
of Luther Stuart, with his effici
ent coaching we see no reason
why we should not put out a rep
resentative team. Within a few
days Coach Stuart, by the process
of elimination, will have the men
selected for their respective
places, and a further account of
the line up can be given.
The last issue of THE GUILFORD
IAN, published before Christmas,
came out after most of the stu
dents had left for the holidays so
that the Business Manager was
unable to mail them. They are
now somewhat out of date, but be
cause of the important subject
matter they are being mailed with
this issue.
Mr. Ovid Jones, 'O9, was a visi

Mr. W. G. Dodson, of Walnut
Cove, visited the college last Tues

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C, JANUARY 12, 1916.
GUILFORD BANQUET
In a section of Virginia, about
300 miles from Guilford College,
the Guilford spirit is quite strong.
In Southampton county there are
about 35 who have been in school
at Guilford at some time since
1807. Of this number, 10 are
alumnae representing 10 classes.
It was decided to gather the
Guilfordians for a banquet at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Rai
ford on Thursday evening, Decem
ber 30, 1915. It was a jolly crowd,
bent on enjoying a Guilford even
ing, who met to talk over school
days since 1850.
The home and table were decor
ated with holly and mistletoe, the
place cards being in "Crimson and
Grey." The menu served was:
Soup Crackers
Roast Chicken
Creamed Potatoes
Candied Potatoes
Jelly Pickles
Fruit Salad Wafers Olives
Coffee Fruit Cake
Mr. George W. Bradshaw, 'OB,
acting as toast master of the occa
sion, introduced the following:
Mrs. Sue Farlow Raiford, 'OS, —
To the Old Days.
Miss Lizzie Bradshaw, '04 —
President Hobbs.
Miss Maria Bristow, '03 —Pro-
fessor 1 )avis. *
Miss Mabel le Raiford, 'OS—
Guilford Spirit.
Miss Ellen I. Raiford, 'lB, Guil
ford in 1915.
Miss Cathline Pike, 'l4, To
Guilfordians.
Mrs. Sue F. Raiford has in her
possession a number of letters,
written by Guilford students to
their parents, which give us a fair
idea of the situation of old Foun
ders; the course of study pursued;
and other bits of interesting in
formation of that time. Two of
these letters, dated 1850 and 1852,
she read. These told us about the
planting $45 worth of fruit trees
west of Founders; the partition in
the dining hall to separate the
boys and girls; and at that time
they had taken up no grammar
work but the highest class was
supposed to get as far as the third
part in Emerson's Arithmetic
also some of the students studied
Optics and Philosophy.
In the different toasts the pro
gress of Guilford was followed to
the present time. The picture of
Guilford in 1915, just beginning
its second presidential adminis
tration, with ten buildings on the
campus; well-equipped labora-

COLLEGE HAPPENINGS.
Miss \\ ille R. Young, Student
Field Secretary, will visit the Y.
W. C. A. Wednesday and Thurs

A very successful meeting has
been conducted for the past week
by Dr. Sylvester Newlin. We were
pleased to have him conduct sev
eral morning chapel services.
NUMBER 14
Y. W. C. A. NOTES
Are you Triangular or Hound is
the title of a booklet which is in
cluded in what is known as the
inch library. It is written by Miss
Willie It. Young, one of our own
field secretaries at Charlotte. It,
together with its companions
written by other Y. W. O. A. sec
retaries, makes a very valuable
inch which may be procured for
50 cents. Some titles of other
books in the inch which might be
of interest to some of us are: Be
ing Good Friend.*, with One's Fam
ily, Discovering .a Year and A Lit
tle Essay on Friendship.
Hazel Armstrong made a very
wise decision when she chose to
read at prayer meeting this selec
tion of Miss Young's. One must
read the pamphlet to appreciate
its worth. From the opening sen
tence, "did you ever stop to think
what is the shape of your person
ality?" until the closing words,
all who were present gave their
entire attention to the reading.
I am sure we have all resolved
to try this year not to be acute
angles having only one point of
interest or triangles which may
be always knocking against other
points and sides if we have not
caught a glimpse of the circle per
sonality of Christ who was never
too busy or absorbed in his own
affairs to be interested in what
ever interested his fellowmen
whether it was law, literature, na
ture, friendship, children, home,
human needs, the problems of so
cial leaders, politicians or schol
ars. We, following his example,
must try to increase our number
of sides, remembering that we
have proved in Geometry that the
greater the number of sides of a
figure, the nearer it approaches
the circle as a limit.
Mr. W. I. Budd, of Siler City,
N. C., spent Sunday on the cam
pus with his brothers, who are in
school here.
W. 11. Godwin, of Goldsboro,
was here on business last week.
Neece Williard spent Sunday
with his brother Hervie.
