AIiUMNI NOTES.
Li. W. Pearson, 'O9, and Miss An
nie Stacy were married at the bride's
home near Marion, N. C., last July.
Mr. and Mrs. Pearson are principal
and assistant principal of the Bunn
High School, Franklin county.
J. G. Reddick, 'lB, has recently
received his discharge from the
army and is now teaching history in
the Trinity High School. He paid a
vsit to the college this week end.
The following is taken from a re
cent issue of the Greensboro Daily
News and will be of interest to Guil
fordians, particularly to the class of
'l2, of which Lieut. Woosley was a
member:
Lieutentant J. B. Woosley
Was Cited for Bravery
Rev. and Mrs. J. E. Woosley, who
live near Greensboro, are in receipt
of a copy of an official citation for
bravery on the part of their son,
Lieut. John B. Woosley, a former
member of the faculty of Guilford
College. It reads as follows:
"During the attack of November
9th to 11th, he repeatedly went
through the enemy artillery barrage
along the Metz-Verdun road and its
vicinity, establishing advanced
dumps for ammunition, rations and
lines of communication for his com
pany. By his dash and efficiency the
company train was kept well in
hand and always ready to perform
the necessary functions it was called
upon to perform."
We also quote in part a letter re
cently written by Lieutenant Woos
ley. If all the men who have been
"over there" are as enthusiastic
about America and American ideals
as he is we may expect a new and
better patriotism when they all get
back.
"The more I think of America's
achievements in the last year and
the more I see of other countries
the greater is my devotion to the old
U. S. A. I am not quite so bad as
the chap from North Carolina who
said the other day that if they would
just let him get back to old N. C.
they could build a wall all around
the State and not let him out again
during his life time, and he would
be perfectly happy. But lam near
ly so! America certainly holds the
trump cards over here or I am super
sensitive.
"I was in Paris the day President
Wilson arrived and J you ever saw
an enthusiastic, wild, confetti
throwing, souvenir-snatching crowd
it was there. I wouldn't have miss
ed that day for stacks of things (my
money is gone now). Paree is some
place and every block of it belonged
to America that day! It was Wilson
day proper and from his reception I
believe he is more popular here than
in America even, if recent elections
are any criterion. He is cutting a
swath in Europe and it does me good
to see it. He has had so many de
grees and citizenships conferred
on him that I'm afraid he will be
declared an alien when he gets back.
Well, he is the greatest liberal lead
er in the world and if the approach
ing Congress will abide by his ideals
I feel sure that the peace to be es
tablished will be of the permanent
type.
"I have recently had a fine trip—
two days in Paris, thence to Nice,
Monte Carlo and a step into Italy.
The Mediterranean is the most beau
tiful country I have ever seen—the
only country which for beauty sur-
passes the mountains of western N.
C., —that is so far as I have seen. I
added to my list of sins at Monte
Carlo by taking some lottery tickets
for a Christmas offering fund—to
ease off the most conscientious. Af
ter seeing more of France I have
become very much attached to the
country, and I have always liked the
people.
"I was certainly sorry to hear of
the death of Dalton Smith. He was
always a favorite of mine and his
death is just one of the many trag
edies of this war. You will have to
go a long way to find as good natur
ed, clear cut, straight forward boy
as Dalton and I'm sorry he had to
go. Lots of boys I knew in the serv
ice were in the casualties and the list
frequently reveals an old friend.
"We are of course wondering
when we are going to get back!
There are rumors afloat that we
shall not have to wait long, but I
don't see enough evidence to justify
believing them. In many respects
it is harder on us now than during
the war for the men are very anxi
ous to get back home. The inces
sant rains have made things worse,
but we have good iprospects for clear
weather now and basket ball and
soccer teams are getting started —
and that suits me fine. The French
are getting interested in our games
and the old ladies come out fre
quently to see our basket ball games.
I suppose intercollegiate athletics at
Guilford is practically discontinued.
With the restoration of peace condi
tions, however, it can easily be re
suscitated I hope. The girls are hav
ing their day now—baseball games
and the like. Good for them!"
We are copying a clipping explan
atory of how the 6th Machine Gun
battalion of which Shirley White,
who has seen as much service as any
other GuiLfordian, is a member, has
been awarded the French Croix de
Guerre.
"The 4th American marine brig
ade, the 30th and 38th infantry regi
ments, the Lafayette Escadrille, an
American battery, , several ambul
ance sections and individual Ameri
cans have been awarded the French
Croix de Guerra with palm.
"The marine brigade, commanded
by Brig.-Gen. James G. Harbord, in
clude the sth and 6th marine regi
ments under Cols. Wandell C. Ne
ville and Albertus W. G'atlin, and
the 6th machine gun battalion under
Maj. Edward B. Cole. They are
cited in the Journal Officiel for their
immortal exploits at Bouresches and
the Belleau Wood, June 2 to 13.
"The citation recites the story,
warmly praising the unit. It tells
how, as soon as it reached the line,
the brigade broke the enemy attack
at an mportant point and then un
dertook a series of offensive opera
tions. Their success was due, says
the citation, to the brilliant courage,
vigor, dash and tenacity of the men
and the activity ancr energy of the
officers, and lastly to the personal
action of the chief, Gen. Harbord."
Private H. A. Carroll, 'l4, whose
address is 6th Train Hdqs. and Mil
itary Police, A. E. P. A. P. O. 777,
has not yet returned to America.
The following letter written the 17th
of December has just arrived:
