COX HALL TO I?E ENLARGED.
At the recent meeting of the Board
of Trustees of the college, it was def
initely decided that two new sec
tions should be built to Cox Hall.
These sections will be like the pres
ent canter section and will accom
modate about fifty students. The
m'oney for these additions comes
from Jeremiah S. Cox, of Greensboro,
who gave the present hall. Building
material is already being put on the
campus aind the sections will be
ready for occupancy at the beginning
of next term. It was also decided by
the trustees to take advantage of Mr.
Cox's offer to build a new dining hall
for the boy's club. This will be built
during the summer.
BIBLICAL SEMINAR ELECTS

the year. At this meeting the fol
lowing officers were elected for the
first term of the coming school year:
C. M. Sutton, president; It. J. Yow,
vice-president; H. W. Moore, secre
tary and treasurer.
STUNT SOCIAL
Many Clever and Amusing Hits
Scored Against Local Celebrities.
The date of Che stunt social had
been deferred repeatedly until It
really seemed that we were to be de
nied the privilege of putting our in
genuity and powers of imitation be
fore the public eye. But on Friday
evening, May 18th, all omens seemed
favorable, the weather man in a sun
>ny humor, and the lads and lassies in
tune for a good time.
O'ne corner of the campus was
quite becomingly dotted with white
robed tables which' bore many and
divers tilings calculated to flatter t'he
palate. However, when the supper
hour came these food stands were re
lieved of their burdens almost in a
twinkling, and the camtpus was soon
alive in all directions with those who
wore that contented expression
which belongs only to the well fed.
Then witti Founders porch as the
stage, the Guilford boys and girls be
came "merely players," and much
latent talent was unearthed.
Each class undertook a stunt amd
much friendly rivalry was aroused as
the four vied with each other in the
accuracy or the originality of the
feats presented. In the performance
of the Freshman class .we lived again
thru the palmy days when freshies
made eloquent appeals to indifferent

SENIOR CLASS DAY EXERCISES.
The class of 'l7 chose that their
exercises be given in a rather origin
al order. First the whole exercise
was given in a form of a dream. The
time for the performance was Mon
day afternoon at 4:30 o'clock and
the place selected was the very pret
tiest spot on the Guilford campus.
The entire class took part in the ex
ercises. The Browinie interpreted
the dream of the Guilford spirit and
announced the events happening just
before and during the four years'
stay of the Little Quaker Maid at
Guilford. The parts taken were as
follows:
Guilford Dream Spirit—Maude
Lassiter.
Browinie—Grace Taylor.
Little Quaker Maid —Oma Gray.
Christian Association Ethel
Speas.
Society—Ezra Moore and Hazel
Armstrong.
Athletics—Henry Beeson and Sal
lie McGehee.
Academic —Jesse Stanley.
Idleness—-Lyndon Stuart.
Liberty—Ruth Coble.
Guilford —Jesse Stanley.
World —Rhesa Newlin.
Quaker Maid's Father—ltimous
Valentine.
Quaker Maid's Mother—iSallie Mc-
Gehee.
The most attractive feature of the
program was the representation of
the Junior year, when all the class
members gathered entwined in navy
and orange, the class colors, and sang
their class song.
Music was furnished by Brock
mann's orchestra before and after
the program.
NUMBER 30
FACULTY CHANCES
Guilford to IJOSC Four Members of
the Faculty—Several New Ap
point iiicuts —Woosley May Return.
Guilford has lieard with much re
gret that four members of the facul
ty have resigned their positions. Miss
Edwards, Miss Ayer, Prof. George
and Miss White. Each filled a unique
place in Guilford life, a place which
'no successor could fill in quite the
same manner, and all will be most
sincerely missed. Miss Alma Y. Ed
wards having graduated at Guilford
in 1907, studied at Bryn Mawr t'he
following year and after several
years of teaching eaitered the Guil
ford faculty in 1914 ae assistant in
Latin and Mathematics. The reputa

JESSE P. GARNER
Winner of the Haverford Scholarship
FRAZIER WINS WEBSTEKIAN
MEDAL.
The last contest of the college year
took place in Memorial Hall Satur
day evening, May 19, when six repre
sentative men from the Webeterian
Literary Society delivered strong
orations. The contest was marked
by the dignity and ease of the com
petitors, and by the splendid speech
which each man in this, the thirty
first Websterian contest, had to his
credit.

rounced the winner of the handsome
orator's medal. The society was so
fortunate as to secure for judges, Mr.

gave the decision of the judges, and
also very cleverly presented to Mr.
Shelton White, on behalf of the so
