THE GUILFORDIAN
VOLUME IV.
GUILFORD DEFEATS
DAVIDSON QUINT
BUT LOSES TO THE GAME COCKS
Guilford balanced up with David
son for this season by defeating the
Presbyterian quint on the Quaker
floor February 24 by a score of 22
to 16. The game was characterized
by no sipectacular play'ing, but by
hard, steady 'Work on the part of
every 'man on Guilford's team. The
Presbyterian quint was never in the
lead, but it kept such a narrow mar
gin between its score and that of the
Quakers that the game was quite in
teresting and very exciting at times.
The Guilford quint displayed team
work superior to that of the visi
tors, and to this the victory for the
former may be attributed.
Groome and Jones, for Guilford,
played the best game of the evening.
Though they scored only two field
goals each, their passing was excel
lent and their defensive work also
was commendable. Hubbard at right
forward for Guilford, during the first
half, played a good game. Though
lie w.as handicapped to some extent
by ihis extremely light weight, he
pocketed three field goals. Ballinger
replaced Hubbard in the se'cond half.
Zachary, who played forward in the
tw r o games previous to this one,
played a good game at guard.
The first half ended with Guilford
one point in the lead Hengeveldt,
for Davidson, who was not in the
game during the first half, played a
good game at center, but 'he was un
able to get the tip-off over (Groome.
McAllister also excelled for David
son at left guard. Toward the close
of the last period Davidson made a
strong attempt to overcome the
Quaker lead, but were unsuccessful,

MRS. IX)AK ENTERTAINS
BASKETBALL TEAMS
After the Trinity-Guilford game
iMrs. Charles Doak was the delight
ful hostess to the members of the
two teams, at her home.
The rivalry which was so plainly
shown the hour before in the gym
nasium was transformed into a last
ing feeling of friendships which wa
manifested by peals of laughter from
•both sides.
Upon arriving the guests were
'Shown into the dining room. They
'were so arranged at 'the tables that
-each Guilford man had for his right
'hand pardner a Trinity player. The
'following delicious three-course din
ner was served:
Grape fruit, salads, wafers, pickles,
'lemon gelatin, whipped cream, fruit
fcake.
Between each course toasts of
good will and responses were given
'by the captains, managers and the
coaches of the two teams. Following
'these Mrs. Charles Doak gave a most
'appealing tribute to the Guilford
and Trinity basketball men of 1917,
now in the service of the United
'States.
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., MARCH 6, 1918
FREDERICK RAY
CINEMALOGUES
"Pilgrim's Progress" and "Parsifal"
In Motion Pictures, Music and
Song to Appear at Guilford.
The Guilliord College student body
and community will have the great
est treat of the year on March 13 and
14, when the famous Frederick Ray
Cinemalogues will be shown in the
■auditorium at Memorial Hall. ."Pil
grim's Progress" will oe shown on
the first night and 'Parsifal" on the
second. The two motion pictures rep
resent an investment of SIIB,OOO.
'They are accompanied by a lecture
and music and singing of an unusu
ally high order.
In engaging Frederick Ray the col
lege runs no risks of disappointing
the audience with an unknown at
traction. These lectures have been
given during the last five years in
some of the largest auditoriums in
America. They have been given this
winter in most of the southern col
leges, and many of the Y. M. C. A.'s
of the larger cities. All the testimo
nials are most enthusiastic.
The success of these lectures is due
to the perfect blending of story, pic
ture, music and song. Frederick
Ray is well equipped for this partic
ular field of endeavor. With fine
presence and magnetic personality,
■lie handles his subject and his audi
ence with equal ability. His well
told stories and incidental singing,
together with Frances Ray's musical
accompaniments, would, without
even pictorial accessory, create an
evening of enjoyment. The subjects
chosen for these cinemalogues appeal
very strongly to those who really en
joy the highest and best in litera
ture, music and pictorial art. In
this day when much trash, horse
play and mushy sentiment (predom
inate in the average entertainment
and the dexterous hurling of custard
pies is a prominent feature in many
film presentations, it is refreshing
to turn to artistic efforts wluu sat
isfy our nobler senses and leave us
with a consciousness of an evening
well spent.
Tickets will soon be on sale. Tick
ets for one night will be 35' c each,
and for the two nights, 50c each.
IBSEN AND MAETERLINCK
AT THE LITERARY CLUB
The 'Literary Club is continuing its
study of modern drama. Two weeks
ago Mrs. Hobbs concluded the study
of Ibsen with an interesting .paper
on "Peer Gynt" to which she gave a
very clever and original interpreta
tion. Mr. Guess then discussed the
"Life and Works of Bjonstedt Bjorn
sen."
Last Wednesday evening the 'club
oegan a study of Maeterlinck. Miss
Ruth Coble gave a very interesting
interpretation and appreciation of
"The Deatlh of Tintogiles" and Miss
Roberts read a paper on "Maeter
linck, the Mystic Dramatist."
Miss Clark wad voted a member of
the club.
PROF. BRINTON
THE MINUTE MAN
Delaware Canoe Trip Hastily Sub
stituted For Expected Lecture.
Dr. Wagstaff, professor of .English
history at the University of North
Carolina, who was to deliver a lec
ture Saturday evening, March 2, was
unable to fill his appointment be
cause of a train wreck on the Greens
boro-dtaleigh railroad.
A few minutes before the audience
assembled in Memorial Hall news
came that Dr. Wagstaff would be
unable to get here for the above
stated reason.
Prof. Brinton was the man of the
hour. "See Europe if You Will Not
See America First," might be well
applied to the set of lantern slides
that were shown. Prof. Brinton first
showed a set of slides taken while he
was on a canoeing trip down the Del
aware river. The trip of two hun
dred miles was made in a sixteen foot
canoe in ten days, without a single
upset, which was very unusual. The
spea'ker told of several instances that
were very exciting. As they were
passing through some of the most
dangerous rapids, several times the
canoe was almost swamped by the
waves that came over the sides; in
other places they were almost strand
ed on rocks.
The views of the head waters of
the river were beautiful, the lower
chains of, the Catskill mountains
adding much to the attractiveness of
the scenery. The pictures taken
around the Delaware water top were
especially interesting. The river here
leaves the mountains and wind 6 its
way out Into the more thickly popu
lated country.
A number of other beautiful slides
illustrating American places of inter
est were then shown.
Then a very hurried trip was taken

QUAKERISM IX CHRISTIAN EN-
BEAVOR
In the iSabbath evening Christian
Endeavor meeting some special sub
jects were discussed. The relation
of the Friends Church to Missions
was taken up by Ida Millis. She told
why the Friends believe in mission
work, wlhat this work ought to be
to the 'church, and the goals aimed at
in mission work. Prof. J. F. Davis
followed with a thoro discussion of
the Friends attitude towards war and
the reason why Friends cannot con
scientiously participate. College at
tendance among Quaker boys and
girls with the aim that there should
be fifty out of every thousand mem
bers in college, was the central idea
of Dr. Ilobbs' talk. The motto of the
Young Friends Board is "The entire
'Church at its entire task." Ruth Co
ble ably described the work of the
\oung Friends. Mrs. Hobbs closed
these special discussions with a talk
on >why Friends shou'ld maintain
their convictions in all religious mat
ters. This meeting was especially
helpful and instructive to all who at
tended.
MRS. HOBBS AND
MRS. DAVIS SPEAK
At a mass meeting of tlhe girls,
held on February 2, Mrs. Hobbs
talked to the members of the Student
Government Association on the gen
eral principles underlying the honor
system.
"It is much better," said Mrs.
Hobbs, "to control ourselves than
to be ruled from the outside." Gov
ernment from without does not tend
to develop citizenship. But in order
that tihere may be a system of self
government each person under the
system, must conform to legislation
by which the greatest general good
may be attained. Each one must, in
a measure, put aside personal preju
dices and petty complaints—in short,
that antagonistic state of mind which
•results from 'chronic kicking and
fault-finding. Is there any reason
why we slhould expect always to have
our own way? The best kind of tonic
for this dissatifaction of mind is to
cease growling and live ourselves
as we think other people ought to
live. If people aren't acting to suit
us, then we should at least do right
ourselves. "If the school doesn't suit
you," said Mrs. Ilobbs, "are you sure
that you suit the sdhool?" If for any
reason we do not like 'conditions
about us, then it is up to us to better
them or go elsewhere.
We need to cultivate a spirit of
'loyalty—loyalty to that which we
know is best.
There was a general impression
that Mrs. Hobbs' message to the girls
at this meeting was one of special in
terest and importance, and every girl
who iheard her was strengthened and
helped.
Mrs. Davis to Student Government
Association on "Being True to Your
self."
"We a)ll work for tihe things in
which we are interested," said Mrs.
Davis, "and I want you to be inter
ested in and work for student gov
ernment, We are wrestling with
.ourselves. We all must face lack of
thot, lack of self-control. If we fail
to build on truthfulness we are put
ting brick into our structure which
will crumble. Hypocrisy is one of
the greatest sins and student govern
ment makes every girl stand on her
own honor." Every individual should
have her own creed and the beet one
is "true to self." "We should be gen
uine," said the speaker. "When we
fail to choose the highest we are not
■being true to ourselves."
Mrs. Davis then emphasized our
ioyalty to Guilford, and said that
each olass should do something to
■make iGuilford a bright spot in mem
ory. The speaker closed by saying
that a person who goes out from
■college and does not have self 'con
trol, is like a ship without a rudder,
i Such a one is no good in the
•world. She is not at her best.
The annual Student Volunteer
Conference will be held at Elon' Col
lege March 8-10 inclusive. Guilford
will be well represented at this con
ference by Misses Addie Morris and
Tot'ten Moton and Alma Chilton.
