tion From Guilford Next
Summer.
The Guilford delegation to the
Blue Ridge Conference gave a report
to the Thursday evening meeting of
the Y. M. C. A.
Leslie Barrett gave the opening
words of Dr. Weatherford, which
were: "God is looking for men who
can do His work. Not a process of
seclusion. Our heart must be pure,
purity of desire and purity of mo
tive. We must have respect for per
sonality, fair play and honesty." He
then told of lome of the leaders of
the conference; Dr. Minis, leader of
a Bible class, on "The Marks of a
World Christian," who impressed
upon the class the fact that they
should think in world terms; Dr.
Alexander made a report on the ru
ral church problems; Dr. Brown and
Dr. Poteat were also leaders. The
best known and ablest man at the
conference was undoubtedly Robert
B. Speer, who spoke on "The True
Man."
Hugh Moore, who has been a mem
ber of the Blue Ridge working forcfl
for two years, told of his experi
ences. Those who are on the work
ing force have the opportunity to at
tend nea'rly all the lectures and meet
the people who come for the differ
ent conferences.
Professor Anscombe was very
much impressed with the exhibition
of college spirit, especially in ihe
hinging. H.- emphasized the impor
tance of having a large delegation
for Guilford next year. He said the
conference is worth while and no
young man can afford to miss it.
Each speaker mentioned in glow
ing terms the out-of-door life, the
athletics and mountain climbing
wnich occupied the afternoons.
WE BSTERIA NS BERATE
THE INCOME TAX
At the regular meeting on Friday
evening, Oct. 24th, the "Webs"
showed much "pep" in debating the
question, "Resolved, That the United
States government is justified in
levying the income tox."
William Fishel, Hansel Beeson
and Paul Rayl upheld the affirma
tive, while Dabney White, Fred
Summers and Raymond Stafford suc
cessfully upheld the negative. All
of the speakers were new men ex
cept Stafford. All gave evidence of
previous experience in debating, and
everything looks prosperous for the
future of the society.
The second number on the pro
gram was an extemporaneous de
bate given by Herman Raiford and
Arthur Lineberry.
Blake Thompson, Charles Stone,
Wade Thompson and J. Hampton
Price, Jr., were received into mem
bership.
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., OCTOBER 29, 1919
SUGAR FAMINE IS
RELIEVED AT GUILFORD
After Being Denied for Four Weeks,
at Last a Social!
At eight o'clock last Saturday
evening the student body was seen
en route for Founders Hall. If any
one had inquired the cause of this
procession the answer would have
been easy. Everyone had heard that
there was to be a social of some sort
at that place that evening.
For the first few minutes the
crowd, with the exception of those
who always seem to have plans made
beforehand for events of this kind,
was somewhat at a loss. The situa
tion was soon relieved, however, by
the announcement that there would
be a debate. The throng passsed into
the students' parlor and was very
pleasantly entertained for a few min
utes. The question under discussion
was: "Resolved, That chickens can
roost better on round poles than on
square ones." Hugh Moore upheld
the affirmative, while Berry Lee
White defended the negative. After
carefully thinking over the matter
and weighing the argument set forth
by each speaker the judges, Leslie

SENIORS FORMULATE
RLANS FOR QUAKER.
Editorial Hoard and Business Man
ager Appointed for College
Annual.
At the last regular meeting of the
class of 1920 it was unanimously
decided that the class should put
out the annual Quaker the coming
spring. Accordingly the editors and
managers were elected and instruct
ed to proceed with the preliminary
work. The following were elected:
Genevieve Lindley, editor-in-chief;
David White, business manager;
Luby Casey and Katharine Campbell,
assistant managers; Donna Mcßane,
Frances Moore, Mary Coble, Shields
Cameron and Vanner Neece, asso
ciate editors, and Thelma Cloud, art
editor.
A meeting of this staff was held
Monday night, at which plans were
discussed and a tentative outline of
the 1920 year book made.
Business Manager David Whte has
already closed the contract for the
engraving and printing with The
Hammersmith, Kortmeyer Co., one
of the largest college engraving firms
in the United States. The contract
calls for a grade of work that should
raake this annual as good as any
ever put out at Guilford. The Eust
ler Studio at Greensboro has been
engaged to do the photographic
work.
At a college as small as Guilford
it it- generally conceded as a rather
difficult task to put out an annual.
However, with the large student
bod> Guilford has this year, and the
hearty support of all the classes and
school organizations, there is no rea
son why this year's annual should
not be successful.
SCRUBS TRIUMPH
OVER LEXINGTON
Hobbs Field the Scene of a Very
Pretty Contest.
In a hard fought game on Hobbs
Field last Tuesday afternoon the
Guilford second team defeated the
Lexington Athletic Association elev
en by the score of 14—0. The Lex
ington team was made up of former
college and army football players and
put up a stiff game. They were,
unable, however, to stop the plunges
of Tremaine, White and M. C. Bane,
who all three did work of the stellar
variety. Bulla at quarter also show
ed good head work in his manage
ment of the .team. John Taylor as
guard and Johnson as end did good
work. Lexington made some good
gains by the overhead route, but re
peatedly failed to make gains thru
Guilford's line, which generally man
aged to stop them with a loss.
Guilford's scores came in the first
and third quarters thru a succession
of end runs and line plunges by the
Quaker backs. Smith, for Guilford,
safely negotiated the kick each time.
Lexington won the toss-up and
elected to defend the east goal for
the first half. Wilds received the
punt, but made only ten yards be
fore he was downed. Three attempts
at the Quakers' line served only to
net the Lexington lads a loss. Wal
ser then punted the pigskin to Tre
maine, who brought it to Lexing
ton's forty-yard line. Guilford then
drove the ball down field. A touch
down was made by Bulla, who re
covered a fumble. Lexington in the
next few minutes' play carried the
ball thru to Guilford's thirty-yard
line before the whistle blew for end
of quarter. Second quarrer was a
see-saw back and forth, neither side
making much gain. Lexington was

CLAY NOTES.
The Henry Clay Literary Society
was called to order Friday evening
by President L. R. Casey. R. K. Far
low' was appointed critic.
The query for discussion was, "Re
solved, That the price of cotton
should he regulated by the Federal
government." The affirmative was
sucessfully represented by Ennis,
Woody and M. White, while Holt,
K. Edwards and Wray Farlow cred
itably represented the negative. The
majority of the speakers were new
men and performed with credit to
themselves.
The second number was a violin
duet by L. L. Williams and L. R.
Casey. This part of the program
was enjoyed by all present and well
deserved the encore it received.
The society was pleased to have
as visitors two former Clays, J. W.
Carroll and W. A. White, Jr., both
of whom favored the society with re
marks of encouragement.
New members taken into the so
ciety were H. Perkins, E. Cummings,
E. Hollady and C. Purris.
GUILFORD TO MEET
LYNCHBURG FRIDAY
Coach Doak's Warriors in Fine Fet
tle for Hallowe'en Contest.
Coach Doak reports that for the
past few clays his squad has been
showing a marked improvement.
The line and back field are getting
off more nearly together. The inter
ference is better and the whole work
of the team is improving decidedly,
in spite of the long break in the
schedule which has caused interest
in the game to lag slightly.
On Friday, October 31, Guilford
College and Lynchburg College will
hold a gridiron contest in Lynchburg
as a Hallowe'en celebration. Lynch
burg is reported to have a good fast
ball team, one that will give Guil
ford a hard fight. The daily scrim
mages together with the three hard
games that have already been played
have pounded the Guilford squad
into condition to meet any team rep
resenting a school of Guilford's size.
Mr. Doak has made no specific an
nouncement as to what the line-up
will be in the start of the game.
However, the sixteen men who make
the trip will be selected from the
following list: Ends, Barnard, Joe
Taylor, Johnson, Rolison and Smith;
tackles, Anderson, E. Mcßane and B.
Shore; center, L. Tremain or New
lin; backs, Rice, Stafford, White,
Raiford, R. Tremain, G. Mcßane,
Pulliam and Newlin. Since many of
the scrub and varsity men are so
very nearly equal in playing strength,
this week's work will determine who
will make the trip.
MYRTLE COX LEADS Y. W. C. A.
Subject, "New Lamps for Old."
"Arise, shine; for thy light is
come, and the glory of the Lord is
risen upon thee."—lsiah 60:1.
Upon -this Miss Cox based her
talk.
"What would be the value of life
without ideals? Could we call such
an existence real life?" asked the
speaker. Ideals are the lamps that
lead us to undertake and accomplish
things worth while, to press on to a
higher life in spite of obstacles.
Sometimes, as lamps become old and
flickering, our ideals become old and
almost valueless, but we may attain
newer and better ones by setting our
eyes upon the highest and brightest
light ahead of us, and thus reach a
higher plane of usefulness and ser
vice for the Master and His king
dom.
It is the man with the vision that
has always accomplished worth while
things—a vision of what is beyond
the present, and of what he can ac
complish through the attainment of
certain ideals. "The great masters
are always idealists, seers of vis
ions." If they did not have vision?
they would never accomplish great
things.
We each have, as new girls, come
