SUBSCRIPTION PRICE SI.OO PER YEAR. Entered at the postoffico in Guil ford College, N. C., as second-class mail matter. N. B. —Those desiring additional copies of the paper may secure them for the sum of 10 cents per copy. There can be no doubt that a degree from Guilford College binds (lie recipient to the institu tion so firmly that he never loses his interest and affection for all that is connected with the insti tution. The months and years of strenuous labor, however, and not the mere roll of parchment which is a record of the toil of those years, slowly developed this con nection between the two —between the graduate and his alma mater. During the days of the past commencement a great number of former Guilford students were on the campus. To them it was a rare occasion—a home-coining. Old friends, classmates, and room mates separated for a long period of time, came together to live over again in conversation the scenes and incidents of former day*. Old baseball games, receptions, pranks and expeditions of mis chief were related with all the eagerness that recalled youth could muster up. It was very in teresting to the members of the present student body to watch those of former classes stroll about the campus deeply inter ested in all the things they had known while in college and even more so in every change that has been made since they went out from the institution. Their very actions spoke loudly their loyalty to the college that did so mluch for them, ain inspired the students with a zeal for "stick ing to their knitting" until they should be able to be members of the big family that has gone out frfoni Guilford. Christian Associations The address before the Y. M. and V. VV, 0. A. Associations was delivered Sunday evening by Sam uel r. Ilawortli, pastor of Friends Meeting, High Point, N. C. The devotional exercises were conduct ed by Herman Raiford and Flor ence Martin, presidents of the two respective associations Frazier, Fox, Farlow and Casey added to this service ;i male quartet—"The Lord is in His Holy Temple." Mr. Ha worth took for li is sub jert one word —"Loyally." Per haps no other word Ims been used more in the last half decade than this one. Kill the speaker did not refer to loyalty to country as we are accustomed to hear in patri otic assertions. Instead lie spoke, first, of loyally to self. liy being loyal to self, we develop in our selves positive convictions which are a great factor in the develop ment of character. Second: Be loyal to the group of which you are a member. This aspect of loyalty presents a prob lem. When the decision of two or more groups conflict what are you going to do? In the solution of this problem the question of the greatest good to the greatest num ber of people arises. Then we must act in a way that will benefit the largest number of our fellowmen. Third, and last, we should have respect for loyalty or we should he loyal to the loyalty of others. It matters not whether or not we are in sympathy with a course, in which others are exihibiting loyalty in its high forms, we should have the deepest respect for it far positive convictions have prompted them. The speaker concluded by em phasizing his first point. First, "to thine own self be true and it must follow as the night the day, thou canst not lue false 1o any man.'' Iv being true to self we wil lnaturally develop the other aspects of loyalty. Another quartet —"Remember Me, Oh Mighty One," was then given. WKBBTKRIAN A considerable number of alum ni and old students were present al the annual meeting of the Web sterian Literary Society on com mencement morning. At this meeting the treasurer's report was submitted to the society, read and audited. Leroy Miller, presi dent of the society, presided at the meeting. Reports on -tlie so ciety work during the past year were given and discussed by the old Webs. A progressive policy advocating the renewal of the in ter-elass debates was discussed with some interest. Anion" - tlie old Wehsterians present: were I). IJ. Parker, TT. M. > Patterson, Leroy Miller, Ira Hin j sliaw, J. O. Reddiek, H. N. Wil liard, .1. 15. Woosley and Mr. | Henley. A review of t'he work in the i society during the past school year shows that a great deal of of progress in this most import ant phase of school work has fdmut kept pace with llie rest of the college. The society co-operated with the THE GUILFORDIAN other three societies in arranging the High School contest which was held here in April. The work for the improvement medal lias Ibeen spirited all the year and added much interest to the society work. Samuel P. liar vis finally won out in the contest, which was held Friday night he fore examinations. The subject discussed 011 that night was "La bur's Right lo Strike." The other contestants for the medal were: 11. Iteeson, Ihibney White, John llnsick, Clyde Fitch, George Snm uers and Paul Rayle. ZATASIAN When the Zatasian Literary So ciety miet for its first time last fall it was with the old zeal and enthusiasm which is so character si tic of the society, thoughts of the old members who did not re turn were missed badly, the girls who became new Zatasian soon filled their places and sorrow was forgotten in the joy of the in creasing membership. Throughout the year it has been the aim of the society to prepare and render those programs which tend towards self-development and power, those programs which might tit\ its members for true service in the college. Besides the usual work of the society the Zatasian® succeeded in re-finishing the walls and floors of their hall in the summer of 11)19. This improvement greatly increased the respect for Ihe so ciety. Now that the year is over and the realization comes that this has been a profitable term the determination grows to make the next years of infinitely more value to the Zatasians. HENRY CLAYS COMPLETE SUCCESSFUL YEAR The Henry Clay Literary So ciety held its closing session Fri day evening. At this meeting the improvement medal was awarded to Bryce Holt, and the Seniors ivave their farewell messages to the Society. The •current busi ness of the year was copmleted and the society adjourned until September. \Yith an efficient nucleus of old Clays* back at the opening of school last fall, work began with punch. Membership was increased past the half a hundred mark. With this strong body work during the vear has proven interesting and profitable. The annual oratorical contest measured up to Henry Clay stand ard and was a creditable public evidence of the thorough work ing internal organization. The society has been guided by efficient coterie of officers who have kept the machinery working smootliely. The books of the treasurer, Mr. Mcßane, show that the society is in good financial condition, and will have a sound basis on which to begin work next vear. To the fnembers of the Senior class who have given 1o the so ciety four years of untiring labor and earnest effort, the Henry Clays extend sincerest wishes for success. Faculty Notes Professor Anscombe will spend ihe summer at Earlhaiu College where lie will give ledums at the summer session.

SENIOR CLASS DAY Very Pretty Masque "The Forest Princess" ('harms Large Alumni Day Audience The Senior class, aided by a group of under classmen as danc ers, presented one of the prettiest outdoor plays which Guilford has ever seen. The costuming was un usually effective and as the sun dropped into the west on Monday afternoon if seemed to touch with unusual splendor the scene and the actors on the lawn in front of Founders. The acting was all of unusuall calibre but special mention should be made of Van ner Neece as the witch who cast the spell over the infant princess and later over the prince who has come to release her. Mary Coble, who played the title role, was the particular star of the bright galaxy. Dressed in flowing robes of palest pink she looked the pari of the Princes sand easily capti vated the audience by the charm ing way in which she repeated her lines. Norman Fox, the president of the class, expressed the thanks of his classmates to Professor White for his unflagging efforts which were in so large measure respon sible for the signal success of the play.
