Just as the actions and works of a
man picture vividly the character of
the man, so do collegw activities, so
ciety work, debating, chorus work,
social activities and, most of all,
athletics, portray the strength and
spirit of a college. No one ever gets
the best out of life until he identi
fies himself with universal ends, and
then puts into life the best he pos
sesses. And no student can possi
bly get the best here is in a college
life until he identifies himself with
activities that affect the entire stu
dent body. The student who does
not have the time to give to com
munity development as much as to
self-development is not the student
that a college needs, and the greater
the number of students of this type
that a college is burdened with the
more the potential power of that in
stitution will be lessened.
We are now wading into the bas
ket ball season. Four games have
already been played by our team.
"What does the picture look like
w'hich my action in and attitude to
ward this sport portray?" That is
the question for every student to
ask himself.
The student who puts most into
a college sport is not always a man
of most enviable physical appearance
and strength, or the idividual star
of the team, or the unexcelled cheer
leader. The little man to whom
nature has been most unkind, who
stands on the side lines keenly alive
to every move of the game, pouring
his whole heart and soul into the
midst of the battle in a sane manner,
always with the full content of his
lungs, is one student who needs a
slap on the shoulder when the game
is won. A real college spirit in ath
letics, however, is not an intermit
tent spring flowing only when an in
tercollegiate contest is on. The real
spirit of the student body toward col
lege athletics is reflected by the atti
tude of the students toward daily
training. It is impossible for a mem
ber of a team to be at his best in a
scheduled game unless he exerts
himself in putting forth his very
best in daily practice. During the
season of practice, as well as the
time of big games, the influence of
the student body, in their attitude
toward those who play on the scrub
and varsity players, and their occa
sional organized cheering in pep
"meetings," is readily felt by those
who spend a portion of six days each
week in strenuous exercise.
Our record in basket ball thus
far is not one to be ashamed of, yet
it could have been better. We have
no "cinch" games on our schedule,
and unless every man who is work
ing for a place on either scrub or
varsity team throws himself unre
servedly into the sport, and unless
every member of the student body
puts the spirit into the sport that he
should, the complete record at the
end of the season will have no bet
ter apperance than the part which
we see now.
Everyone on the campus, play the
game!
E—X—A—M—S.
E-X-A J M-S. What does this spell
for you? Trouble? Opportunity?
Work? Cram? Flunk? It is spell
ing all these things for Guilford stu
dents. Yes, and even more.
Go back in your memory to
Friday morning. Did you not see,
or hear, about Thelma Cloud's light
burning until 5 o'clock while she
was writing English paper and
cramming for psychology? Well,
for her that meant trouble.
Then did you not see Yanner
Neece and Jennie Lindley come out
of King Hall with contented smiles
and a confident tilt to their heads?
To them the psychology exam, was
only an opportunity to impart some
knowledge to Dr. Hobbs.
And as an example of work, just
imagine how David White must have
toiled to drown the few definite facts
he possessed about economics in a
stream of "hot air" so copious and
withal so plausible as to win a fav
orable "a-hem" from Prof. Mills.
But people didn't cram?
Then you didn't see that light in
New Garden every night burning un
til after two, and also on second
floor in Founders? And you didn't
notice how tired and sleepy Alma
Chilton, Katherine Campbell and
Frances Moore have been looking.
Yes, they did not even go to the
Guilford-Carolina game for fear of
flunking psychology the next day.
And—some people didn't cram.
Yet, then —oh, how sad —some of
them troubled, crammed and flunk
ed. Even Vera Mcßane nearly lost
her Senior standing.
But for all, each day was one well
filled. The eight-hour day law was
greatly abused and the poor workers
were forced to toil from sun up to
lights out and beyond.
Yes, students may come,
And students may go,
But cramming will go on forever.
