THE GUILFORDIAN
VOLUME VI.
RECEPTION GIVEN TO
THE NEW STUDENTS
Annual Event a Feature of Much
Success.
On Saturday evening, September
13, the annual reception given by
the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A.'s was
held. Faculty, students and several
alumni and old students were pres
ent for the event, which proved to
be one of enjoyment for all.
Even before the bell rang throngs
of people, in gala attire, could be
seen congregating around the vari
ous dormitories, ready at a minutes
notice to make their way to the bril
liantly lighted library. Anticipation
ran high in the heart of every one.
The old students had pleasant mem
ories of former receptions, and the
new ones felt from the very atmos
phere of things that something
great was going to happen.
Each old student had charge of a
new one. At the doorway each new
student was presented to President
and Mrs. Binford and then piloted
down the receiving line to be made
acquainted with the other members
of the faculty. When each couple
reached the end of the receiving
line they were, in turn, to form a
part of it. So when every one had
passed down the line they had
spoken to every one else. This fea
ture of the evening was very much
enjoyed, although it was hard for
some of the company to stand still
while listening to the splendid or
chestral music that was being ren
dered.
Pretty soon, however, a rumor
was started that punch was being
served on the porch. So the gay
party began to pass that way. For
a time the throng was content to
march in a mass across the library,
but presently there was a change.
Some one decided it would be more
pleasant to go by twos than for all
to go together. Others followed
the example, and it was not very
long before the room was dotted
with couples. A glance at the new
students seemed to signify that ithey
were well launched out into social
life at Guilford.
Eleven o'clock—as is always the
case on such occasion's—came be
fore anyone was expecting it or
ready for it. Yet, time delays for
no event. The library was soon
empty and the mass of people that
had recently occupied it wended
their way homeward with happy re
membrances of the event.
It is with deep regret that we an-
nounce that Miss Jennie Papworth
has been obliged to resign Owing
to ill health our friend finds it neces
sary to take a year's rest. We ex
tend our sincere wishes that good
health will soon come again to Miss
Papworth.
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C.. SEPTEMBER 24. 1919
FACULTY HOLDS THEIR
FIRST OEFICIAL MEETING
Opening- Social Event—Dinner at
Guilford.
On Saturday evening; September
sixth, the faculty of Guilford gath
u*ed in Founders Hall for their first
meeting of the year. This meeting
took the favor of a faculty dinner
at which the returning instructors
were made happy by meeting for
the first time their new colleagues.
There was Professor Beach, of the
French department. The new scien
tist of the evening was introduced
as Mr. Rudisell, of the chemical
fame. Mr. Warne, professor of
mathematics, was present. Profes
sor Mills, who will take charge of
the classes in economy, made his
first appearance.
Under the leadership of President
Binford the party quickly progress
ed to the banquet table. At the ar
tistically decorated noard there was
a merry flow of wit and humor.
Finally there was a lull. Dr. Hobbs
then called upon various members
of the faculty for three minute
speeches. Bits of ancedote, personal
reminiscences, and fascinating de
scriptions of summer adventures
followed in rapid succession.
These short speeches culminated
in a helpful address by President
Binford concerning the principles
essential for a successful year.
Inspired by the remarks of the
president and encouraged by the
comradeship of the social hour, the
members of the teaching staff ad
journed for .their first official meet
ing of 1919-1920.
Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
Waldo Woody Leads—His Subject
"Playing the Game."
The Y. M. C. A. was favored bv
having Waldo Woody to load the first
meeting of the year. He chose as his
subject "Playing the Game." Just
as in football the first thing to do is
to come out for the team, so in our
Christian life, the first thing we
must do is to come out for Christ.
The next thing to do after tho
team has come out is to elect a cap
tain and coach. The one we choose
for a captain must be efficient an.l
know how to play the game. Chrifct
is both captain and coach tor Chris
tians. He knows the game and how
to play it. We have in him a friend,
who was tempted as we are and who
knows us.
The third step in playing the game
is training. In order to be a good
athelete one must lay aside all bad
habits such as smoking and dissi
pating. So it is in our Christian
life, we must lay aside sin that hin
ders us from living the highest kind
of Christian life.
In the words of the Apostle
Paul "Let us lay aside every weight,
and the sin, which doth so easily
beset us, and let us run with pa-

THE Y. W. C. A.
HOLDS FIRST MEETING
The Missionary Committee Leads
First Prayer Meeting 1 .
The president opened the meeting
by reading for the Scripture Lesson
the thirteenth chapter of First Co
rinthians, followed by a ffew words
of welcome to the new girls.
Miss Lindley, chairman of the
missionary committe, gave a brief
explanation of the work of the Y.
W. C. A. in other countries. She
spoke of the extent of the work in
South America, China, India and
Japan, following which girls dressed
to represent these countries gave
short addresses concerning the
same.
Miss Chilton costumed as a South
American woman spoke of the work
in that country. She remarked that
woman's outlook there is very dark,
that as the Roman Catholic church
forbade Christian schools, educa
tional advantages are very meager,
and that the only thing that the
other countries of the world have
used South America for is trade.
The only Y. W. C. A. in thig country
is at Buenos Aires; hence there is
much scope for work of this kind.
Next, Miss Neece, representing
China, came forward saying,
"China is still carrying on." In the
last century, the Christians have
increased from ten to throe thou
sand. Since the coming of the Y.
W. C. A. and Christians new ideas
have been established and an inter
est in the sciences manifested. The
women are patterning after the wo
men of America.
Miss Martin, dressed to represent
a Christian of India, recited a short
pocjm setting forth the deplorable
conditions in that country. She said
that above all India needs the light,
that more workers are needed es
pecially doctors and teachers, but
that the Y. W. C. A. is doing a great
work here.
Last, Miss Hayworth as a Japa
nese, gave us some idea of the size
of Japan, the land of flowers. It
seems that the condition of the
working girl there is one of the
worst things to be said concerning
the country. The Japanese are as
sheep without a shepherd. There
is a great field of work here and
now is the time U negin.
Special music was furnished by
Miss Henley.
THE PRESBYTERIANS
DOWN QUAKERS
Coach Doak's Huskies Los© First
Gridiron Tussle of Season.
On a dusty field that would have
almost made gas masks welcome,
and in an Indian summer heat that
called more for tennis flannels and
iced lemonade than football togs
Coach Doak's bunch of aspirants
for gridiron honors went down to
defeat before the heavier and more
experienced Davidson .team.
The Guilford team started the
game handicapped by the shifts
which had been made on account of
the loss of "Jim" Newlin, the best
full back Guilford ever had, who
was out of the game with a sprained
ankle incurred in a scrimmage the
day before. The Quakers however
showed their usual fighting pep
from start to finish.
The game started off as if it
might be anybodies. Davidson re
ceived the kick off. Made 10 yards
on a center plunge, was held for
downs, tried to kick goal but lost
the ball to Guilford in !.he attempt.
The Quakers gained first ten yards
but had to kick on their second
down to keep Davidson from get
ting the ball on their 30 yard line.
In the second quarter Pullian, of
Guilford, was knocked out. Bar
nard shifted to his position as quar
ter-back and Raiford was put in
Barnard's place at end. By a series
of left end runs the Presbyterians
finally forced the pigskin across the
coveted goal line. McAllister suc
cessfully kicked goal. Davidson
drew in some fresh men at the be
ginning of the second half and kept
hammering at Guirfctfd's lineup
which had been further weakened
by injuries. The Presbyterians fin
ally added two more touchdowns to
their credit by the overhead route
before the time keeper's whistle
blew. McAllister failed to make
the kick on the secoilff Score.
In the last quarter Black, David
son's fleet half-back, intercepted a
forward pass and raced 40 yards
for a touch down. Davidson failed
on the kick. The final score was
made by a series of heavy line
plunges.
In reviewing the game it might
be said that each player did good
work as a unit and in the team. The
heavy line, good team work, and
playing of McAllister, Black and
Shepherd however won the game for
Davidson. Captain Barnard, Rob
inson, Pullian and Cox were prob
ably the most consistent players on
the Quaker side. The whole team
had good pep though and with a
little polishing upon their weak
spots by Coak Doak this week they
ought to make a good showing
against A. & E. at Raleigh next
Saturday. Line up folows: R. E.,
