THE GUILFORDIAN
VOLUME V.
THE ENROLLMENT IS FARMERS SCORE THE RECITAL
GRADUALLY INCREASING SEVEN TOUCHDOWNS CHARMS AUDIENCE
MANY COUNTIES AND STATES
REPRESENTED IN STUDENT
BODY.
At the close of going to press
(Monday) 'tile Guilford student body
had reached a total enrollment of
149. Enough students are definitely
in prospect to carry us iwell beyond
150 in a short time. In view of 'the
fact there is no unit of the S. A. T. C.
at Guilford t)h'is/ number is decidedly
encouraging. A comparison with
the enrollments of the other eight
Friends'colleges-shows that Guilford
has the highest percentage of last
year's number in attendance. The
number of girls is the highest for
several years.
An examination of the records
show that there are 100 girls and 49
boys. Of these 7 4 are new students
and 75 are old students. The en
rollment by counties reveals some
interesting facts regarding the dis
tribution iof Guilford's clienti'e. Guil
ford county comes first with 44 rep
resentatives. Randolph follows with
13 and Alamance is a close third
with 12. Distance does not prevent
Wayne from holding fourth place
with 9, while Chatham is fifth with 8
and Surry eiSxth with 7. Davidson,
Northampton, Stokes and Yadkin !
follow with 5 each. Buncombe and
Perquimans at opposite ends of the ,
State meet in the middle at Guilford
with 5 for the former and 4 for the |
latter. In the roll of states, Virginia
sends 6, while Alabama. Minnesota, j
Kansas, South Carolina. Illinois and |
New Jersey all answer with one I
apiece. '
The denominational statistics re- j
veal that two-thirds of the college
are Quakers or Methodists. The
number of Quakers is very nearly
the same as last year. The follow
ing denominations are represented: j
Friends. 74; Methodists, 39; Pres
byterians, 6; Baptists, 9; Lutheran,
2; Christian, 1; Adventist, 1; Epis
copalian, 1; Deciples, 1; not given,
14.
In answer to the question on the
enrollment card, "If a new student
give age" it was found that most of
the new students were willing to j
confess within a reasonable degree
of the truth. Two have had the
courage to try 'Guilford at the tender
age of 13, one at 14 and 6 at 15.
Nine are 16 years old, 17 are 17, 21
confess to 18 years, nine admit 19,
and seven 20. One of 25 years, one
of 27 and one of i.9 knew that it was
never too late to get a Guilford ed
ucation.

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., OCTOBER 2, 1918
GUILFORD'S GREEN TEAM PUTS
UP STIFF FIGHT AGAINST A.
& E. HEAVY WEIGHTS.
The football season of the State
was opened wi-th a fast game be
tween Guilford College and State
College at Raleigh. Although the
game with a score of 46 to 0 went -to
the State College, yet at certain
stages the teams appeared equally
matched. Fumbles by both teams
indicated the need of training and
experience. The loss for Guilford j
by these was> heavy, nevertheless
•they almost scored twice. The early
part of the contest found the visit
ing team disorganized to a great ex
tent, due to the fact that it was the
first real game for many of the play
ers. The third quarter furnished
mid-season ball with the Guilford
team making some fine games down
the field.
It was* clearly a case of the light
weights against the heavyweights,
the heavy man for State College
weighing around 210 pounds, while
the heavy man from Guilford weigh
ed 170 pounds. The visiting players
were on an average twenty to twen
tynfive pounds lighter than their op
ponents, yet they took the usual
knocks of the game exceedingly well
and suffered less than the heavier
fellows. The Guilford boys called
for time only once, and then for a
few seconds, while the State College
players took their three calls of two
minutes each. Of course, the first
game for our boys should have been
against a lighter team; yet this will
make 'the rest of the season easier,
and it enabled our green players to
learn much football in a very short
time.
Stafford, Anderson, Barnard, Rice
and Raiford played a strong game
for Guilford. Coach Doak has made
some changes in the team, and with
the new material coming in, we will
have a fast, well-balanced team -to
go against Wake Forest College on
October 19th.

GUILFORD'S MUSIC MASTER
SINGS WITH BEAUTY AND
v POWER.
Badrig Vartan Guevchenian, in
structor in vocal music at Guilford
College, opened the musical season
here with a highly successful rfeci
tal in Memorial Hall last Saturday
night. The audience was apprecia
tive and enthusiastic and was fre
quently carried away with the power
and richness of the recitalist's voice
and the perfection of his technique.
The program was sufficiently varied
to show the remarkable range and
ability of the singer. Although all
was of the highest artistic quality
Mr. Guevchenian was especially fine
in those numbers requiring an agile
flexible voice adapted to lyric rendi
tion. He is a tenor with a voice of
powerful middle range and a timbre
of baritone quality. The head tones
were strong and fine. The notes i
poured forth from his throat with
out the least sense of effort giving j
an impression of great reserve pow- j
er. The audience could not help
but feel that he sang for art's sake j
and not for popular approval. He
was heartily applauded and enthus-!
astically encored. His best num-[
bers were "Philis plus avare que |
tendre," "Chantons les amours de 1
Jean," "Pour Leaf Clover" and
"Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal."
For an encore he sang "Keep the
Homes Fires Burning," the audience
joining in on the chorus.
The program was as follows:
I
A. Selve Amiche Caldara
B. Lescia ch'io pianga Handel
(From Rhinolda)
C. Nel cor piu non mi sento
Paisiell
II
A. Philis plus avare que tendre
B. Chantons les amours de Jean
C. Jeune Pillette
D. Tamhourin
French Bergerettes of the
18th Century.

GRISSOM TO HELP COACH.
Laurence Grissom 'lB, one of last
year's stars on the football team
will assist Bob Doak in getting Guil
ford's football team in'to shape.
"Gris" knows how to use his head
piece and when Bob's furlough ex
pire* he will be particularly useful.
"FARMERETTES"
Prof. Davis remarked in chapel
Friday morning that he wanted
some boys to cut his corn. The boys
were all leaving that afternoon for
A. & E. so the girls decided to go.
Accordingly nine girls obtained
knives and started on the way to
Prof. Davis' cornfield, but met him
on his way to monthly meeting. He
was very much amused and told the
girls 'to go back and get on their
overalls, and come when he got back
from meeting. They did not how
ever for they knew where the field
was and immediately set to work.
When Prof Davis returned he
found that nearly half of his corn
was cut, but the girls were having a
terrible time shocking it. He very
readily assisted and the shocking
was completed. Without a doubt
Prof. Davis would give any of the
following a recommendation: Vira
Clodfelter, Tom Stewart, Lulu Rai
ford, Allie Sham'burger, Ruth Col
trane, Edna Raiford, Lydia Pickett,
Eva Edgerton and Naomi Tomlin-
I>R. AND MRS. BINFORD
ENTERTAIN THE JUNIORS
Just at the stroke of 8 on last
Tuesday evening, a band of jolly
Juniors set out for the President's
cottage.
The guests were received by Dr.
and Mrs. Binford and each one giv
en a slip of paper wtih the word
Red, White or Blue on it. The
guests arranged themselves into
three groups and one from each
group was chosen to sketch a pic
ture on a blackboard placed in full
view of all. Then every one present
was given a chance to display .lis
poetic ability, for it was required
that each one write a poem, taking
the picture as his subject. Some
very original poetry and even some
new meters were the result of this
task.
After this the guests arranged
themselves in a circle and all took
part in a Shakespearian contest.
Several present found that they were
not so familiar with Shakespere aft
er all.
The mathematical ability of tho-e
present was then tested in "Buzz."
One by one they dropped out a:
those numbers divisible by seven
grew larger and larger, until only
Miss Edwards and Leslie Barrett
were left standing.
After these contests the corre
sponding numbers in each group di
vided off into threes and in the order
of their coming, marched into the
dining room, where delieious punch
and wafers were served.
Before the guests departed they
were favored by a piano selection by
Mrs. Binford.
The guests have never attended a
more original party and each one is
indebted to Dr. and Mrs. Binford for
very pleasant memoriae.
