It would be hard also tcf find a more pleasant spot, a more delightful atmosphere in which to renew converse with friends and acquaintances of former days. So to all whom these greet ings may come we earenstly request nay even urge that you come ibaok to GuiUford to commencement. With six more stars in their dia dem, the result of the recent south ern trip, the curtain has rung down on the 1918 baseball season. Under conditions often most unfavorable, meeting often unusual demands, Coach Doak has kept in the field this year a team which has acquited itself most creditalbly, preserving always Guilford's record for clean sports manship. OUR SWAN SONG. Shakespeare reminded us long ago that time, "that old common arbitra tor will one day end it." Sooner or later there must always be an end. And to the 1917-18 Guilfordian board the fend has now com© —with this issue the present staff passes off the stage of college journalism. To say that we are sorry would be to attribute undue elasticity to the solemn truth. We are thru and we say plainly that we are glad of it. We lay down our oars with a sigh of relief like unto that of Aeneid fame, and we inwardly breathe a prayer for our more worthy successors that their faith and their efforts fail not Far be it from the present board however to leave the impression that the journalistic efforts of the past y'ear have been only those of unre mitting toil. On the contrary we feel that however mediocre or even bad our work may have been, we have nevertheless derived much lasting good from our attempts along this line. As has been said before the only people who make no mistakes are dead people, and any enumera tion of our failures at this time would be superfluous. That we have made errors, obvious enough, we will not deny. Do the new board a favor by pointing out any pitfalls into which we may have unwittingly strayed And so, as we step out, here's wishing all possible good fortune to those who follow. Goodlbye and good luck to ye ahvays. IRA HINSHAW SPEAKS TO Y. >l. C. A. ON HABIT The Thursday evening prayer meet ing was in charge fo Ira Hinshaw. He talked on the subject of "Habit." Habit formation is in process dur ing our youth. After a haibit has become fixed one is never the same again. A definite impression has been made. The ha/bit ha 6 become so in'bred that there is a great ten dency to follow its leadings blind'ly, never realizing that we are thus be coming slaves. It is utterly impos sible to be the same again. If nail be driven into a post, the nail may be removed but there remains the ugly scar. Habit is the fly-wheel of nature", and determines all our actions. If it were not for habit, we should be per fectly helpless. There are two kinds of haibit. Haibit formation has run its course when an individual arrives at the age of twenty-five. Still it is not too late to change habits from bad ones into good ones. As one becomes a drunkard by taking so many single drinks, so imay one become a saint by doing so many separate acts. If every one would do his duty during every hour of the working day, some fine morning he would wage up and find one of the competent ones of his genera tion. Whenever one lets the furrow of habit ibe ploiwed thru the brain, a constant stream of actions floiw thru that channel. Cultivate good habits and the consequences need not 'be feared. COLLEGE BARBER SHOP AND PRESSING CLUB JOHN EDWARDS THE GUIIiFORDIAN "Eyes to the Front! Foixlward!" (Continued from first page) .man who can ever be defeated is the man whose gaze can never be divert ed from his goal. The supreme com mand given to any people is "Eyes to the front! Forward." The great man in any department of life is the man who has trained his mind and body to focus absolutely in a clear path of progress, looking straight ahead until the goal has been reach ed." The speaker then said that some had been here two, three and four years, and the hearts of each of these told how the time had tbeen spent. All the wisdom and power of the ages cannot give back just yesterday for re-living. It is as hopelessly gone as that far away morn in Eden. The only wise thing to do is as St. Paul says: "Forgetting the thingts which are behind and ( press forward" —and receive the administration of the inspired Proverb: "Let thine eyes look right on, and thine eyelids look straight before thee. If the past days have been filled* with worthless endeavor, then there are greater accomplishments for the fu ture. If the yesterdays have been given to frivolity and carelessness or to iinnpure and selfish motives and Ignoble deeds, let their bitter mem ory be put aside." "As we go out from here," said Mrs. Davis, "various suggestions will present themselves in accordance with our environment: To some the suggestion of an indolent life—sleep ing .eating and doing nothing—to others the butterfly life and all it implies—and to others discontent and dissatisfaction with our sur roundings, not happy ourselves, nor allowing others to be happy. There will be also before us the broad field ripe unto the harvest, into which we may enter and labor and 1 receive wages according to our work, not in gold nor silver, (but in character." It may be thiat the field .before us is not seen clearly, but if three hundred and sixty-ifive clear .panes of glass be piled one on the other, why a smokey blackness can be seen, but if one is taken at a time, all is clear; so is the future. One day must be lived at a time. There is work in the in dividual communities to be done; no community was ever so devoid of re sources that it could not be improv ed, and there is work in each home. The broad expanse of the field will grow clearer and the work more en grossing " GREENSBORO COMMERCIAL Over Greensboro Drug Store. Greensboro, N. C.
