THE GUILFORDIAN
VOLUME 11.
JUBILEE!! FROM FEBRUARY 2nd, TO MARCH 3rd.
JUBILEE
Some of us have been thinking
about it, some of us have been
planning for it and lots of us are
wondering about the jubilee.
What is it?
We might sum up an answer to
that question by this statement;
50 years ago, in the year 180(5 the
Young Women's Christian Asso
ciation had its beginning. In
thinking how best this event
might be commemorated it seemed
very fitting that we do as the lie
brews did of old, "hallow the 50th
year and proclaim liberty through
out all the land unto all the in
habitants thereof" ( Liv. 25-10). A
nation-wide jubilee has therefore
been arranged; a celebration
which shall last throughout the
month of February. During this
month we shall take a look back
ward over 50 years of association
work in order that we may bring
to all members a knowledge of
what the Association has done for
girls the country over. We shall
take this time for helping each
other to look beyond, out to what
other women are doing both here
and in foreign fields. It shall also
be a time for emphasizing the
fundamental purpose of the Asso
ciation, the deepening of the spir
itual life.
Definite plan* concerning our
local celebration will be given la
ter.
It is our intention lo present a
sketch of the History of the (Juil
ford Association. The first in
stallment of this sketch will ap
pear in the next issue of the (iuil
fordian. During this lirst week
some of our charter members will
tell us something about the early
days of our organization, some of
the difficulties that were sur
mounted and some things tli;il
made it possible. The second week
we are expecting to hear some ad
vice from alumnae members in the
form of letters.
The third week we will devote
to missions and we are expecting
to have a national secretary speak
to us on the 20th of February.
The fourth week we will proba
bly have a visiting secretary from
the South Atlantic field. This
week will end with our birthday
service on the 3rd of March.
At least some of these meetings
will be held in Memorial Hall and
the Association will be gald to
have the attendance of all who
are interested.
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., FEBRUARY 2, 1916.
ATHLETICS
Basketball—Guilford vs. A. & M.
Guilford lost (lie first game of
the season to the strong A. & M.
team on Wednesday night, Janu
ary l!)th, in one of the fastest and
hardest fought games that has
been played on the local floor for
many a day. A. & M. began the
scoring by throwing a field goal,
but Guilford followed almost in
stantly with two Held goals, there
by forging to the front only to be
surpassed by the Farmers before
the close of the half. The score
stood -JO to l!l in favor of the visi
tors at the close of the first half.
Guilford entered the second half
with renewed vigor and fought
bravely until the whistle blew at
the end of the half. The A. &M.
boys seemed to be tired with new
ambition too. So from the begin
ning of the second half until the
close no one could tell who was
going to be in the lead, for as soon
as one side would score the other
one would too. The score was tied
at thirty when the end of the half
came. The teams then decided to
play live minutes more to untie
the score. During these five min
utes the big farmer boys took a
spurt that the small Guilford boys
could not in the least check. Dur
ing this short period they ran tin;
score up from thirty to forty-four,
leaving Guilford eight points be
hind.
Worth, the fast right forward,
was probably the leading player
of the local quintet. He played ;>
fast and heady game, throwing
twenty of Guilford's 38 points. A
marked improvement was noticea
ble in him since the "scrub'' game
with the Jamestown High School
team, ballon Smith, left forward,
came next in the order of goal
shooting, placing eight points to
his credit. lie and Worth worked
with clock work precision as for
wards. Captain Senians, the left
guard, likewise played a consist
ent game, putting quite a bit of
pep and enthusiasm into it. He
threw three field goals.
Sumner was easily the leading
man for the visitors, throwing six
field and ten foul goals. At the
beginning of the second half he
was shifted from right forward to
center, but somehow our boys
could not stop his goal shooting.
Mason, the very fast left guard,
managed to pocket eight points.
In fact, all them showed that they
had undergone some rigid prac
tice and that they had had splen
did coaching.
Our men were several pounds
lighter to the man than their op
ponents. It, too, was fairly evi
dent that they had not gone
through such rigid and consistent
training as the A. & M. boys.
The line-up was as follows:
Guilford. A. & M.
Smith If Temple
Worth r.f Sumner
Short c Lindsay
Semans l.g Mason
Walser r.g Johnson
Field goals: Wftrth (G), Smith
(4), Semans (3), Short (2), Sum
ner ((), Mason (4), Lindsay (2),
Temple (2), J>owd (3). Foul
goals: Worth (8), Sumner (10).
Substitutes: A. M., Dowd and
Sullivan.
Keferee, Stockard, Greensboro
Y. M. O. A.
Vs. Davidson.
Guilford lost her second game
of the season last Tuesday night,
January 25, when the strong quin
tet from Davidson defeated us on
our own gym floor. From the
start the game was rather one
sided, but each goal shot was
fought for. The playing lacked
the pep and quickness that char
acterized the A. &M. game. The
Davidson men were much larger
than our boys and played a much
better game. Numerous fouls
were called, but tliey were not of
such a personal nature as to mar
the game in any way.
Guilford was somewhat handi
capped in that billion Smith, the
fast l ight forward, was sick and
could not take part; in the game.
Francis Seinans, Captain Neman's
brother, who underwent an opera
tion early in the summer, and has
not been physically strong enough
to take the necessary practice, lil
some splendid work in Smith's
place.
Guilford began the scoring only
to be followed by Davidson throw
ing a field and a foul goal. From
then on Guilford was never able
to forge ahead of flic visitors. The
first half closed with the score 23
to 14.
Mendenhall took Short's place

NUMBER 16
LEAP YEAR SOCIAL
Tits social outlook for 1!)16 is
ratiior promising; probably (his is
because it will be largely under
the influence of the girls.
The social held at Founder's
hall Saturday evening, Jan. 22,
was the first occasion the girls
have had to exercise their leap
year privileges. General invita
tions were scut to the boys, urging
them to attend, but not making
any definite statements concern
ing what would he heard during
the evening.
Immediately after the boys be
gan to arrive some of the less fin
id girls singled out their time
worn stamlbys and fled in' > ac
customed corners and became ob
livious of everything around them.
To the more retiring maidens
was given the opportunity of se
lecting their companions for the
evening. They were to be chosen
according to the general appear
ance of shoes, sticking out beneath
a temporary curtain.
After every one had chosen a
well polished pair of shoes the
curtain was removed and a rove
lation of choices followed.
The game of the evening \v;t>-
charades. Among the clever
charades were "Manifold," "Pan
oply," "Smithsonian," "Hero,"
"Investigation." We must say
that Hero and Manifold were
very much in keeping with the
atmospheric conditions.
Although it was not hero
worship the young men kept their
places as guests of honor through
out the evening.
