THE GUILFORDIAN
VOLUME IV.
MR. BERGTHOLDT SPEAKS
TO Y. M. AND Y. W. C. A.
$325 PLEDGED BY STUDENTS
FOR ARMY Y. M. C. A.
WORK.
On Thursday evening the Associa
tions were very glad to hear Mr. J.
W. Bergtholdt, College Y. M. C. A.
Secretary for th 3 Carolinas, in the
interest of Association work in the
war. After a Scripture reading Mr.
Bergtholdt commenced his talk by
saying that there used to be just two
divisions of workers in war times,
the army and navy, but now there
are three, the army, navy, and Y.
C. A., for truly the latter goes
everywhere that the others go.
"In the Spanish-American war the
Y. M. C. A. did such splendid work
despite its many handicaps," said Mr.
Bergtholdt, "that when this war
broke out and Dr. John R. Mott of
fered the services of the Association
to President Wilson that President
Wilson at once recognized it and
gave it a place in which to work."
The Y. M. C. A. does so many things
that it is hard to enumerate them.
For one thing it has almost blotted
out gambling by establishing banks
where the money of the soldiers may
be deposited immediately on pay day
and thereby the temptation elimina
ted. The library is filled with books
fnr tho boyc roarl and t.hftse ari
always out. The Y. M. C. A. head
quarters in every camp contains a
room in which are to be found paper,
stamps and ink and over the table on
the wall ia a sign, "When have you
written to mother." "If the Y. M.
C. A. did nothing else more than help
the parents and friends of these boys

RED CROSS ACTIVITIES.
One of the most active interests at
Guilford just now is the Red Cross
work, which is being done thru the
medium of the Y. W. C. A. As it.
was not thought best to organize a
separate chapter, the work is being
done under' direction of the Red
Cross organization in Greensboro.
The opportunity to enlist in the
work was given to all members of
the Y. W. C. A. and it met a ready
response both from members of the
faculty and student body. The
classes in Home Economics have reg
istered for sixteen hours of work per
week, for the next three weeks, at
the end of which time it is though!
that all the work on hand will have
been completed.
Permanent headquarters, which
have been established in Foundei ?
Hall, present a busy scene. The con
stant whir of the sewing machines
testifies to the earnestness of those
who have undertaken that part of
the work. Activities, however, arc
not confined to headquarters, as we
are rem'nded by the clicking of knit
ting needles on every side. Fifteen
mufflers are nearing completion, and
fifteen soldiers will be made more
comfortable this winter because o!
the interest and industry of Guilfon
College girla.

TENNIS TEAM DEFEATS LENOIR.
The Guilford College tennis team
easily defeated a team representing
Lenoir on the college courts on las'
Monday afternoon. In spite of the
one-aided score the many spectator.--
found the game well worth seeing.
In the singles Fitzgerald for Guil
ford defeated Huffman of Lenoir, 6-2.
6-3. Huffman found it difficult to
handle Fitz' serve and the latter'o
drives to the Lenoir man's back hand
were always good for points. In the
doubles Fitzgerald and Fox, of Guil
ford, defeated Huffman and Jarrett,
of Lenoir, 6-3, 6-2. Both the Guil
ford men excelled at the net anci
forced Lenoir to reply with lobs,
which were easily handled.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT
SCORES A SUCCESS
.MUSICAL SETTING TO TENNYSON*
DELIGHTS AUDIENCE.
Saturday evening, November 3, at
7:30 o'clock the first musical of the
j ear was staged in Memorial Hall.
Papworth, in a few well-chosen
words, welcomed the hearers and ex
plained the nature of the program
ior the evening—telling them that it
Aould be an evening with Tennyson
with a few selections of difierent
origin and nature.
Seldom, if ever, have Tennyson's
poems, "The Bugle Song" and "The
of Shalott" been more effective
ly or more feelingly interpreted than
they were on the occasion when
Prof. Balderston reaa them in such
an interesting and charming way to
nis hearers.
After the reading of "The Bugle
3ong," the members of the chorus
iang the poem in a manner reflecting
.redit upon themselves and upon
their able director, Miss Papworth.
The poem, "The Lady of Shalott,"
was explained in a most interesting
and logical manner by Prof. Brinton.
He showed how the sad, sweet story
portrayed the waking from dreams
LO reality; and how the curse upon
.lie Lady of Shalott falls upon many
maidens of today.
The cantata, bringing with it first
a_ breath of lightness and cheer, and
,ng armour, and finally in "Fairy
L.ady of Shalott" in all her sadness
pathos, was next given by a chor
us of twelve girls. The soloists of
the evening, Misses Moton arc
riobbs, interpreted their respective
themes in a beautfiul and sympathet
ic way.
After the cantata, the audience
joined in singing "America."
Then, gaily and cheerily, the ehor
as sang that rollicking sailor song.
Nancy Lee."
Paul Fitzgerald was at his best in
.i.s rendition of his solo, and the
strains of "As In Old Gardens'
will linger long in the mind 3 of hi 3
aearers.
i be Men's Glee Club fully lived up
to their well-established reputation
of last year and charmed their aud
jnce by their beautiful rendition or
'There's Tlusic in the Air" and "Sta.
of the Summer Night."
The evening closed with the sing
ing of that beautiful familiar melody,
so dear to the heart of every uui'-
Jordian, "Hail Dear Old Guilford."
