THE GUILFORDIAN
VOLrTJME V.
Girls' Basketball
Season Opens
Old Girls Defeated by New Girls In
Close and Thrilling Contest.
Last Friday night there was a
scene of unusual interest in the Gym.
when the old girls met the new girls
in a basket ball game. This being
the first game of the season an un
usual amount of enthusiasm was
shown by both the players and spec
tators.
When the whistle blew for action,
each player collected her pep and
held on to it with a tight grip
throughout the entire game. During
the first third of the game, neither
side scored a single point, due to the
close guarding of both teams. Beu
lah Jessup and Edna Rait'ord, for
wards for the new girls, were very
fast and skillful in passing the ball
and shooting goals. Beulah Jessup
was very sure of ai goal whenever a
chance presented itself. Evidence of
her accuracy was manifest by the
shooting of four field goals in one
third of the game. Edna Raifora,
altho not so sure of goals, was right
there with unlimited speed and skill
to aid her.
Eurie Teague at right guard for
the new girls was easily seen to be
the fastest player on the floor. Isa
bel Pancoast, as left guard for the
new girls, showed excellent skill in
passing the ball during all the stages
of the game. Kathrine Harmon, cen
ter for new girls, was none the less
fast and skillful in getting the ball
on the wing to the basket.
As for the old girls nothing but
pep and rapidity was manifest from
beginning to end. Donna Mcßane
and Lula Rail'ord, guards for the old
girls, played exceedingly well in pass
ing the ball to their forwards. Vera
Mcßane, with the strong defense of
Alma Chilton, distinguished herself
at the basket by shooting four field
goals during the last third of the
game. Eula Hockett, last year's var
sity center, allowed nothing to pass
through the central territory without
a desperate effort to seize it. Each
girl put up a hard fight and the game
ended with the. score 11-10 in the
new girls' favor.

Tlie prospects for girls' basket ball
tliis year is very encouraging. More
girls have appeared on the floor for
practice than ever before. The
hearty co-operation of the student
body and faculty was 6hown by the
large attendance at the game Friday
night. It is a good thing to attend
the games. More pep results and
the players are encouraged to work
harder. Nothing keeps up a good
college spirit better than athletics.
So girls, let's be up and doing, and
make this year the best in basket
ball in Guilford's history.
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., DECEMBER 11, 1918
Bazaar Financial
and SoGial SuGGess
V. W. C. A. Realizes a Good Sum of
Money from Japs and Eats.
On Saturday evening from 8 till
10 o'clock the students and faculty
had a very pleasant time in Pound
ers, viewing and buying the good
things to eat and the beautiful Jap
anese novelties.
This year on account of the quar
antine under which the college has
been living nearly all the fall, the
girls were not able to get into town
to secure dolls to dress or material
from which to make novelties, and
pieces of fancy work. Consequently
the bazaar this year was confined to
the "eats" booth and Japanese booth.
In the Japanese booth were all
kinds of beautiful handpainted pic
tures and Japanese pincushions, sta
tionery, bags, puzzles, etc. Over this
booth two "Jaipanese girls," Frances
Moore and Vera Mcßane, presided.
The booth was artistically decorated
in lavender and white with Japanese
lanterns and parasols. In the oppo
site corner of the same room a sign
like this was seen, "Handsome boys,
beautiful girls, 5 cents each." Here
kodak pictures were sold. This was
a very popular place. The boys all
bought pictures, as most of them
were of the girls' baseball team.
The eats booth was presided over
by Anne Shamburger and Madge
Cook. Delicious lemon tarts and per
simmon pudding with whipped cream
were served. In the dining room
oyster soup and cocoa with whipped
cream were sold; all of the "eat 6"
being very good and well prepared.
The bazaar seemed to be a very
successful event this year. As much
as in any previous year was realized,
regardless of the fact that there were
only two booths. Almost everything
was sold.
QUARANTINE PARTIALLY RE
MOVED.
The quarantine has been sufficient
ly removed at Guilford to permit the
day students to reside at their homes
subject to certain restrictions. Stu
dents at the college will be permitted
to go to town on urgent business
provided they do not go on trains,
but such permissions wil l be given
only after careful consideration by
the college authorities. Week-end
visits home are not permitted. The
new outbreak of "flu" at the college
consisted, of only four light cases.
Kiser and Peele have completely re
covered while Jessie Cox and Clem
antine Ra.'fora are convalescing rap
inly. The college can again congrat
ulate i'tseif on the fact that the epi
demic has not spread more widely.
The presence of the day students
in the dormitories has been one
of the few pleasant features of the*
quarantine. Their absence will be a
real loss and it is hoped that their
experiences here may permit them
in the future to enter more fully in
to the college life than day students
usually do.
$200,000 for
Guilford College
Who is to contribute it?
Everybody.
It does not take men with money
but men with a will. All that needs
to be said, is that Guilford needs it.
Then loyal Guilfordians subscribe it.
Isn't it true?
No?
Then make it true.
Why does Guilford need it.
To maintain a strong' faculty.
You could not give to a better pur
pose nor do a better tiling for educa
tion and the Old North State than to
take a sacrificial part in this effort
to provide for scholarly men and
women on the faculty of Guilford
College.
You will soon receive a copy of the
Guilford College Bulletin which will
set forth the policy and the finances
of the institution, and present to
you something of the task and stu
dent life here.
Now with our shoulders to the
wheel, the old school will move for
ward. The high ideals and sound
scholarship that have been woven in
to her past shall be more fully real
ized in her future. It will be so be
cause we have been true.
$200,000.00 for Guilford College.
It is necessary. We will do it.
SOME STRANGE THINGS AT G. C.
The social on Saturday afternoon,
November 30th, was an unprecedent
ed affair in the history of Guilford
College.
Miss Louise, throwing aside all
precedents, allowed the boys and
girls the freedom of the whole cam
pus for one entire afternoon.
Everywhere on the campus could
be seen couples; couples playing ten
nis; others strolling about and ex
ploring haunts and recesses they had
never known before. Still others
immediately sought out comfortable
places and there they remained the
whole afternoon.
Many of the girls, availing them
selves of the unusual opportunity,
chose to spend the whole time on the
steps of Cox.
Still another crowd thought things
like these too tame and so secured
Miss Louise and Dr. Binford as
chaperones and took a long tramp
thru woods and across fields to the
canon. It was a weary and footsore
company that landed on the campus
some time after the shades of even
ing had gathertd.
We have the quarantine to thank
for many unusual and interesting
events this year.
Dec. 10th, by which time all war
work subscriptions must be paid, is
now ipast and a good many students
have not yet lived up to their obli
gations. Get busy and see that you
are not on the delinquent list.

en for some time.
On Friday evening, Nov. 29th, the
question, Resolved, that Columbus
deserves more honor for discovering
America than Washington for de
fending her, was debated extemtpo
raneously by the Websterians with
much enthusiasm. The affirmative
was ably upheld by O. Stafford, while

Columbus does not deserve more
honor than Washington.

the affirmative. O. Stafford and Paul
Trotter were successful in their argu

number on the program was a hu
morous reading by Raymond Staf
ford, which proved to be interesting.
After an instructive critic's report by
David White, the society adjourned.
The Clays met on Friday night
and had a very interesting debate.
They discussed the question: Resolv
ed that coal mines should be owned
and operated by the government.
Altho all of the speakers were new
men except one, the debate was very
instructive and showed that there
had been considerable work done in
preparation. The judges decided in
favor of the affirmative.
