Perhaps there is no feeling more
deeply rooted in the mind of the
average student than the sense that
one's college course offers opportu
nities that one is likely never to
meet again, anld that it behooves
everyone to make the best possible
use of the advantages offered. With
this in mind the students attempt
to get the benefit of the opportu
nities that college activities offer.
They join literary societies that they
may get intellectual training aside
from their regular work. In order
that they may not be called one
sided they take part in athletics and
with the view of attaining culture
they attend lectures, socials and re
ceptions.
And yet with all this effort there
is one opportunity lying at the door
of every stiident which is often over
looked, the opportunity of culti
vating a faculty which is often neg
lected. How many students are able,
at the end of their college careers,
to speak their mother tongue fluent
ly and correctly? How many are
able in class or society meetings to
talk well, for ever so brief a period,
on the subject under discussion, to
give their opinions clearly and con
nectedly, not hesitating or repeating,
but making their points in a clear
and forcible way? There are some
who can do this and we know how
much influence they have in any
discussion, but the majority of us
when we rise to speak without prep-,
aration find ourselves hesitating.
Often we find ourselves quite unable
to put our thoughts into words and
try to excuse ourself by saying, "I
can't say it, but you know what I
mean?"
All these difficulties can be over
come if we will only watch every
chance to improve upon our manner
of speaking. Every recitation might
be made a drill in speiaking, every
society meeting a training in this
art. The gift of speaking is one
which everyone admires, for which
almost everyone longs, and like
many other gifts is bestowed only
in exchange for hard, continuous
efforts. It lies in everyone's power
to attain it! is it not worth the
cost?
PHILOM AT HE A N S
The Philomathean Literary So
ciety was called to order last Fri
day evening, March 26, by President
McCracken.
The program was one which
should have held the attention of
every Phil as it's first number was
a debate in which Misses Sobelia
Williams and Vera Farlow very suc
cessfully showed the audience anld
their opponents, Misses Helen Bos
tick and Jamesina Ellington, that
women should have the right to hold
a seat in ithe U. S. Senate. The sec
ond number, a reading by Miss Ruth
Pearson, was well rendered. The
questions on "Present Day Topics,"
by Miss Mary Coble, caused many
society members to confess that they
should read more and keep up with
the times. The fourth number,
music, by Miss Mary Ellen Gruffen,
was enjoyed by all and the fifth,
Guilfordian News, s by Miss Ethyl
Venable, placed many of us in the
light in which others see us.
At this meeting a plan was pro
posed of adopting the club system
n our own society in order that we
may better broaden our different
facilities. It is hoped that this plan
will be adopted in the near future.
FIRST YEAR COOKERY CLASS
HOSTESS TO FACULTY
MEMHERS
A delightful event of the past week
was the eight o'clock breakfast
served by the class in the first year
cookery, on Saturday morning in the
dining room of the Home Economics
Department. This was the first of a
series of meals to be served this
spring by the members of the three
cookery classes. The menu con
sisted of:
Grape Fruit
Oatmeal Cream Sugar
Omelet Biscuit
Coffee
The host and hostess at the
table were Marjorie Williams and
Ethyle Venable, members of the
THE GUILFORD!AN
class, and the guests were Prof, and
Mrs. Auscombe, Miss Beach and Miss
Rudisill. Members of the class do
ing service as cooks and waitresses
were Florence Mackie, Minnie Cas
stevens, Mary Daniells, Blanche
Jones, Alta Rush, Helene Robertson,
Mabel Robertson, Nelle Carroll,
Sabelia Williams iamd Ethel Lindley.
TWO NEW MEN LEAD Y. M. C. A.
Paul Nichols and Dabney White (Jive
a Very Helpful Discussion on
Christ and Christianity
After Paul Nichols had read the
12th chapter of Romans, Dabney
gave a brief but helpful talk on
"Christ and Christianity." The
speaker began by saying that Christ
is the greatest hero of the ages. No
one deserves to be looked up to more
than He. Even the winds obey Him
and the loaves multiply. He was an
ortaor of ability and His pluck and
courage astonished the people.
Finally He laid down His life for us.
What more could we ask of Him?
When Christ made plain to us the
plan of salvation, what reason have
we for not being Christian? One
who is not a Christian is a coward
and lacks courage to stand up for
what is right.
